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 thispodcast, 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.
