In my decade-plus years working with corporate innovation leaders, I’ve seen a variety of frameworks to explain what we mean by “innovation.” The most enduring of these has been McKinsey’s Three Horizons model – although there are plenty of others. These models – powerful though they are – have always left me wanting more.

Strategy and its implementation are wide concepts that cover a lot of ground, and although pretty much everyone intuitively agrees that a) having a good strategy, and b) implementing it well, are obviously good things for an organization, it's not always easy

And the more we ‘push’ for learning, the greater chance we have of thriving in a challenging world. The expectation ‘bar’ needs to be raised from those practicing innovation, I feel the constant need is for those working within innovation; they have this real need to raise their game significantly.
