Fruitful partnerships comprise of having the appropriate people, processes, and organizational backing. This calls for an integrative approach to Managing Innovation.
Various aspects of the Innovation process have to be integrated through a cohesive Innovation Management Strategy that gels well with the individual strategies of these disparate aspects.

1. Integration of Directions of Impact – It is imperative in successful Innovation Management to keep a balance between various objectives, strategies, and approaches.
2. Integration of Stakeholders – Bringing together all the stakeholders of Innovation, taking them along the Innovation journey, is another aspect of Integrative Innovation Management.
3. Integration of Capabilities – Capabilities have to cross functional boundaries in order to create integrative functional capabilities that make the Innovation effort thrive.
4. Integration of People – It is important to have right mix of people. With the right mix of people, Innovation can be made a reproducible exercise, ingrained in a organization's Corporate Culture.
This Integrative Innovation Framework aims to deliver a platform that aids in addressing the holistic character of Innovation.

This PPT slide emphasizes the critical need for business executives, particularly CEOs, to recognize the equal significance of both Exploitation and Exploration ventures in driving innovation. It outlines that a full commitment from top executives is essential for the success of Exploration initiatives. This commitment involves a thorough understanding of the nature and requirements of these ventures before allocating resources or efforts.
On-boarding top executives is highlighted as a key factor in ensuring sustained support and adequate resources for Exploration projects. The text suggests that merely rallying enthusiasm from teams is insufficient; the right personnel must be in place. It points out that many ventures fail not due to a lack of ideas, but because they are not staffed with committed, high-quality employees.
The slide further notes that insufficient commitment in terms of both quality and quantity of personnel can lead to the failure of Explorative ventures. It stresses the importance of allocating resources appropriately between Exploitation and Exploration, which is contingent upon the overall business strategy and context of the organization. This allocation is positioned as a responsibility that falls squarely on the CEO.
Overall, the slide serves as a reminder that successful innovation requires a balanced approach, with executive buy-in being a non-negotiable prerequisite for the success of Explorative initiatives. It underscores the importance of strategic alignment and resource management in fostering an environment conducive to innovation.
