Innovation is a profoundly social phenomenon. Good ideas need good narratives to get them going and sustain them over their lives. Storytelling for innovation should be easy, and should address: Why are we doing this? What is changing in our offerings? And, how might we change our work for support?

Everything is derivative. Take advantage of that. “New” ideas are the next step in an extensive network of existing people and ideas. If we can get the data and reconstruct the network, we can analyze it and understand where branches of a network have the potential for innovation. Great ideas do not need to be created. They can be discovered.

The primary impediment to innovation is fear, and the prime directive of any innovation system should be to drive out fear. A culture of accountability, implemented poorly, can inject fear and deter innovation. When the team is accountable to deliver on a project but are constrained to a fixed scope, a fixed launch date and resources, they will be afraid.
