We all know that old, wooden idea suggestion box that was flamboyantly presented during the Q1 openings but ended up tucked away under someone’s desk. It started off great, with people adding various ideas with equally different purposes but after a while, it died and became part of the company relics. For companies, these inputs for change are highly welcome.

When people talk about the metrics that they use to measure the success of their innovation programs , they are often talking about two different things, both of which are very important when defining your innovation metrics: They are talking about their innovation capabilities (that is, how to assess the promise of ideas that they have in the pipeline, their ability to compete, where they need to allocate new resources to innovation).

I was thinking today about one of my favorite books - The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham - and the quote from the book that forms the title. I won't bore you with a rehash, except to say that the main character is told that "the path to salvation is as narrow and difficult to walk as a razor's edge". This from a Buddhist monk the main character, Larry, meets during his journey to find himself and his purpose not long after the end of the first World War.

Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities.
