At Forbes.com, Clayton Christensen authored an article that gives his perspective on what an organization needs to be doing to consider themselves as “innovating”. The questions that Clayton posed were:

Some questions that I think Clayton is missing in his list are:

4\. Do I have a regular process to measure innovation as a new corporate success criteria?

5\. Do I included innovation as a skill criteria for new hires?

6\. Have I established a skills training program for creativity and innovation?
