Innovation Leaders share specific attributes that distinguish them from other corporate leaders—including creativity, vision, pragmatism, reliability, influencing, diplomacy, collaboration, courage, planning, team building, coaching, and commanding abilities.
The topics covered in detail in this deck include:
• 6 Attributes of Innovation Leaders
• Front-end vs. Back-end Innovation Leadership
• 4 Dimensions of Innovation Strategy
• 4 Categories of Innovation Strategy
• 4 Innovation Strategies and Associated Leadership Profiles
This presentation summarizes the response to the critical question of how senior executives stimulate, steer and sustain innovation.
The presentation deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT delves into the critical distinction between front-end and back-end innovation leadership. Front-end leaders are visionaries, driving new ideas and fostering a culture of creativity. Back-end leaders, on the other hand, excel in execution and operational efficiency. Understanding these roles is essential for balancing innovation and execution within your organization.
The four dimensions of innovation strategy—objective, focus, intensity, and boundaries—are explored in detail. Each dimension addresses key questions such as why, where, how much, and with whom to innovate. This framework helps senior executives align their innovation efforts with strategic goals, ensuring a comprehensive approach to innovation management.
The presentation also outlines four categories of innovation strategy: new business creation, radical innovation, incremental innovation, and business reinforcement. Each category requires a unique leadership profile to drive success. The document provides actionable insights and templates to help you implement these strategies effectively, making it a valuable resource for any innovation-driven organization.
This PPT slide outlines a framework for innovation strategy, categorized into 4 distinct dimensions. These dimensions are critical for organizations aiming to navigate their innovation efforts effectively. The framework is structured around 2 primary axes: the objective of innovation and the focus of innovation.
On the vertical axis, the objectives are divided into 2 categories: "New business creation" and "Business reinforcement." This distinction highlights the different goals organizations may pursue through innovation. New business creation focuses on developing entirely new offerings or markets, while business reinforcement emphasizes enhancing existing products or services to maintain or improve market position.
The horizontal axis presents the intensity of innovation, ranging from "Radical" to "Incremental." Radical innovation involves significant changes that can disrupt markets or create entirely new ones, whereas incremental innovation refers to smaller, gradual improvements that enhance current offerings.
The intersection of these axes creates a matrix that defines 4 innovation thrusts. Each quadrant represents a unique approach to innovation based on the organization's objectives and the intensity of change desired. This structured approach allows senior management to critically assess where to allocate resources and efforts in their innovation strategy.
The slide also emphasizes the importance of boundaries, indicating that organizations must consider with whom they will innovate. This aspect is crucial for collaboration and partnership decisions, which can significantly impact the success of innovation initiatives.
Overall, this framework serves as a strategic tool for executives to align their innovation efforts with organizational goals and market demands.
This PPT slide outlines the 4 critical dimensions of an innovation strategy, structured in a diamond format that emphasizes their interrelatedness. Each dimension poses essential questions that guide organizations in formulating their innovation approach.
The first dimension, labeled "Objective," prompts organizations to clarify the purpose of their innovation efforts. It raises the fundamental question of whether the goal is to reinforce existing business operations or to create entirely new ventures. This distinction is crucial as it influences the direction and resources allocated to innovation initiatives.
Next, the "Focus" dimension addresses where innovation should occur. It encourages leaders to consider the specific areas of innovation—whether in products, services, or systems. This focus is vital for aligning innovation efforts with strategic priorities and market needs.
The third dimension, "Intensity," examines the magnitude of innovation efforts. It questions how much innovation is necessary, whether it should be radical or incremental. This dimension helps organizations assess their risk tolerance and the potential impact of their innovation strategies.
Lastly, the "Boundaries" dimension explores the scope of innovation activities. It asks whether innovation should be pursued internally or in collaboration with external partners. This consideration is important for leveraging resources and expertise effectively.
The slide concludes with a reminder for innovation leaders to be mindful of the key questions associated with each dimension. This structured approach enables organizations to develop a comprehensive and coherent innovation strategy that aligns with their overarching business objectives.
This PPT slide outlines 2 distinct innovation strategies: New Business Creation and Radical innovation. Each strategy requires specific leadership profiles to effectively guide teams through the innovation process.
In the New Business Creation section, the focus is on the need for "mentors." These leaders are characterized as dependable yet demanding, tasked with steering teams toward market readiness. Their role is not just to provide oversight, but also to shield teams from typical hierarchical distractions that can impede progress. This suggests a need for a supportive environment where innovation can thrive, emphasizing the importance of resource allocation and coaching during challenging phases of project development.
The Radical section shifts to the concept of "architects." These leaders are described as far-sighted and practical, essential for executing entirely new business models or system innovations. Their role involves coordinating both internal and external resources, ensuring that all components work seamlessly together. The emphasis here is on visioning, indicating that these leaders must possess the ability to foresee the outcomes of their strategies and meticulously plan for every implementation step. This highlights the complexity of radical innovation and the necessity for a structured approach to manage it effectively.
The concluding note on leadership styles indicates that they should align with the chosen innovation strategy. This suggests a tailored approach to leadership, recognizing that different strategies may demand varying styles to optimize effectiveness. Overall, the slide presents a clear framework for understanding the leadership dynamics necessary for successful innovation initiatives.
