The problem is that doing things
IS HARD.

At least that’s what the 100s of business leaders we spoke to told us.
50% said they’d seen a great idea fail for entirely avoidable reasons.
47% said innovation activity is often a costly failure.

Is your business one of those that struggles to make innovation work? We've got a
good idea why…

When it comes to innovation, the biggest mistake most businesses make is
locking their best ideas away USUALLY IN THE R&D DEPARTMENT

innovation gets stuck in
a silo, it will

The trick is to set it free and get the
whole organisation FIZZING WITH A PASSION for new ideas.

And why wouldn’t you? Getting innovation wrong is like flushing money down the drain.
UK
organisations are wasting some
£64.7 billion in failed innovation
every year.

And when innovation fails
and be more competitive go down the drain too.

In the worst-case scenario, businesses that fail at innovation
Stagnate become irrelevant

SEVEN BIG IDEAS
![Page 20: Innovation as unusual: Why a culture of innovation will stop your best ideas from leaking through the cracks](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a780760da3da068b5a77/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BIG IDEA ONE TAKE A STEP INTO THE UNKNOWN AND BE VISIONARY, AGGRESSIVE AND BOLD DON’T MESS ABOUT WITH HALF MEASURES. GET RADICAL.
“We see some organisations developing radical innovations around strategy or product development, while others are creating value through internal innovation. For all kinds of innovation, organisations need to be doing something new, visionary and bold. They need to be prepared to take risks.”
PA Innovation Report 2015
![Page 21: Innovation as unusual: Why a culture of innovation will stop your best ideas from leaking through the cracks](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a780760da3da068b5a77/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
BIG IDEA TWO BRING NEW LIFE TO THE TRADITIONAL BOARD GET IN PEOPLE WHO WILL TAKE YOUR ORGANISATION OUTSIDE ITS COMFORT ZONE.
“Leadership is the most important thing. If you have people who have a passion for innovation and can lead, that is 80% of the battle won.”
Ian Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Applied Technologies
![Page 22: Innovation as unusual: Why a culture of innovation will stop your best ideas from leaking through the cracks](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a780760da3da068b5a77/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
BIG IDEA THREE LOOK BEYOND YOUR SECTOR. YOU’LL BE AMAZED AT WHAT YOU’LL FIND OUT THERE.
“The best innovators go beyond looking – they create new partnerships and alliances; they prepare to rethink their whole mission.”
PA Innovation Report 2015
![Page 23: Innovation as unusual: Why a culture of innovation will stop your best ideas from leaking through the cracks](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a780760da3da068b5a77/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
BIG IDEA FOUR DON’T EXPECT A PAYBACK NEXT MONTH – MEASURE BY VALUE, NOT QUARTERLY FINANCIAL GAINS. THE BEST RETURNS ON INNOVATION COME FROM PLAYING THE LONG GAME.
“The term ‘innovation’ is often used to describe the process of generating good ideas, but the truth is you are really only innovative if you can get those ideas to market and people can see the value in them when they get there.”
Paul Jansen, Professional Engineer, Associate Vice President Medical Device Development, Sanofi
![Page 24: Innovation as unusual: Why a culture of innovation will stop your best ideas from leaking through the cracks](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a780760da3da068b5a77/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
BIG IDEA FIVE DON’T SETTLE FOR ‘TOKEN’ DIGITAL EMBRACE THE WHOLE SHEBANG.
“Digital is not something you can just bolt on to your innovation strategy. ”
Anita Chandraker, PA digital expert
![Page 25: Innovation as unusual: Why a culture of innovation will stop your best ideas from leaking through the cracks](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a780760da3da068b5a77/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
BIG IDEA SIX LOVE TO FAIL FRUGALLY OR, AT LEAST, EMBRACE THE POSSIBILITY OF FAILURE AND ROLL WITH IT.
“We know we are going to fail. It is part of the process of truly innovating. We have spent a lot of time trying to get to those failures earlier in the lifecycle of an innovation, with a smaller financial cost.”
Peter Erickson, Executive Vice President, Innovation-Technology-Quality at General Mills
![Page 26: Innovation as unusual: Why a culture of innovation will stop your best ideas from leaking through the cracks](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a780760da3da068b5a77/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BIG IDEA SEVEN BANISH THE INNOVATION KILLERS AND BRING IN ANTIBODIES TO FIGHT THEM OFF. RULES. RISK AVERSION. LACK OF RESOURCES.
“We get a lot of grassroots ideas. But the barriers to innovation have largely been organizational. A person in the medical records room will say ‘80% of this work could be delivered more cheaply.’ It will not happen until a senior leader says ‘we need to reduce medical records costs by 80%’”.
Steve Prewitt, Vice President of New Business Solutions, Visiting Nurse Service of New York

The big ideas don’t mean innovating is easy. But they’re the right place to start.
