**5 Biggest Risks To Innovation**

Its been my experience that large and small companies suffer from a common set of risks to their innovation efforts. These risks are independent of size, industry, longevity or geography. In this[podcast](http://philmckinney.com/killer-innovations?ref=philmckinney.com), I present what is needed from executive leadership to remove the risks and what realistically can an innovation leader inside an organization do to succeed when faced with them.

The 5 biggest risks to innovation inside organizations are:

1. Corporate anti-bodies
2. Lack of patience
3. Ambiguous process
4. Unprotected resources
5. Poorly defined BHAG.
