Innovation is a complex, multi-year undertaking, which necessitates certain strategic and organizational practices and processes mandatory to organize and inspire creativity. Large firms are, generally, better at implementation than Innovation due to their long-established routines and cultural parameters. Their success is owing to optimization of existing business, rather than through ingenuity.
Innovation is a significant undertaking requiring an array of procedures and processes to enable, organize, and foster it. Research suggests that several large corporations are successfully innovating by embracing some key attributes and approaches. This deck provides a detailed account of these unique attributes and approaches vital to induce Innovation.
The 8 critical attributes—also known as the pillars of Innovation—exist either partially or completely at each large enterprise found successful in product, process, or business model related Innovation. These pillars of Innovation encompass:
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
The 8 Pillars of Innovation framework is a comprehensive guide designed to help organizations navigate the complexities of fostering innovation. Each pillar addresses a critical aspect of the innovation process, from setting ambitious goals to scaling successful initiatives. The framework is based on extensive research and real-world examples, making it a practical tool for executives looking to drive change in their organizations.
The PPT includes detailed explanations of each pillar, along with actionable insights and strategies. It also features customizable slide templates to facilitate internal presentations and discussions. This resource is essential for leaders who are committed to embedding innovation into their corporate DNA and achieving sustainable growth.
This PPT slide presents findings from a McKinsey & Company survey that analyzed the practices of innovation leaders across various industries and countries. The study involved over 2,500 executives and aimed to identify key practices that drive innovation. It highlights eight essential pillars of innovation, which were derived from a comprehensive examination of 27 innovation practices.
The bar chart illustrates the percentage of respondents from different performance quartiles who engage in these innovation practices. The top quartile shows the highest engagement across most pillars, particularly in "Aspire" and "Choose," indicating that organizations performing well in innovation prioritize these areas. The data reveals a clear correlation between the level of engagement with these pillars and overall performance in innovation.
For instance, the "Aspire" pillar has the highest percentage of top quartile respondents at 55%, suggesting that setting ambitious goals is a critical factor for success. Conversely, the "Mobilize" pillar has the lowest percentage of top quartile respondents at 5%, indicating that organizations may struggle with effectively mobilizing resources for innovation.
The survey's findings underscore the importance of these eight pillars in fostering a culture of innovation. Organizations aiming to enhance their innovation capabilities must focus on these attributes to drive sustainable growth. The insights provided in this slide can serve as a valuable guide for executives looking to benchmark their practices against industry leaders and identify areas for improvement.
This PPT slide presents a framework titled "8 Pillars of Innovation," outlining eight essential attributes that contribute to successful innovation, whether in product, process, or business model contexts. The attributes are organized into 2 columns: the left column features "Aspire," "Discover," "Accelerate," and "Extend," while the right column includes "Choose," "Evolve," "Scale," and "Mobilize."
Each pillar represents a critical phase or component of the innovation process. "Aspire" emphasizes the importance of setting ambitious goals and visions for innovation. "Discover" focuses on identifying opportunities and insights that can drive innovation forward. "Accelerate" suggests the need for speed in bringing ideas to fruition, while "Extend" highlights the importance of leveraging existing capabilities and resources to enhance innovation efforts.
On the right side, "Choose" reflects the decision-making process involved in selecting the right paths for innovation. "Evolve" indicates the necessity for continuous improvement and adaptation in response to changing market conditions. "Scale" addresses the challenge of expanding successful innovations to reach a broader audience. Lastly, "Mobilize" underscores the importance of aligning teams and resources to effectively implement innovative strategies.
The slide concludes with a note that these attributes recur and help create the necessary conditions for innovation to thrive. This framework serves as a guide for organizations aiming to enhance their innovation capabilities, providing a structured approach to navigating the complexities of innovation.
This PPT slide emphasizes the critical role of insights discovery in driving innovation. It outlines that innovation requires unique knowledge and ideas to engage customers and establish new market categories. The primary challenge for organizations is to effectively cultivate these insights. The slide identifies 3 foundational elements that contribute to successful innovation: identifying a valuable problem, leveraging technology to provide a solution, and developing a viable business model that generates revenue.
The overview section succinctly states that understanding customer challenges, being aware of current technologies, and creating effective solutions can lead to significant value creation. This approach encourages organizations to focus on customer needs and technological advancements as they innovate.
The core questions posed on the slide challenge executives to reflect on whether they possess distinct ideas in business, market, and technology that can evolve into compelling value propositions. This introspective inquiry is essential for leaders aiming to foster a culture of innovation within their organizations.
The areas of innovation section highlights 3 key focus areas: customer orientation, multiple lens insight generation, and distinct value proposition. These areas suggest that a comprehensive understanding of customer needs, diverse perspectives on insights, and a clear value proposition are vital for successful innovation.
Overall, the slide serves as a strategic reminder that insight discovery is not a one-time effort, but a continuous process. Organizations are encouraged to utilize prototypes to test and refine their innovative ideas, ensuring they remain relevant and valuable in a rapidly changing market.
This PPT slide outlines critical practices that can enhance the process of innovation within organizations. It begins with an overview that identifies common barriers to innovation, such as restrictive governance, bureaucratic hurdles, and slow approval processes. These factors often operate unconsciously within corporate cultures, stifling creativity and progress. The mention of "red tapism" highlights the detrimental effects of poor cross-functional teamwork and vague decision-making, which can further suppress innovative efforts.
To counter these challenges, the slide emphasizes the importance of validating promising ideas early in the development phase. Engaging end users at this stage allows organizations to gather valuable feedback, ensuring that customer insights shape the innovation process. The slide advocates for the establishment of dedicated cross-functional project teams, which can foster a collaborative culture essential for innovation. Empowering these teams and appointing competent managers to oversee projects is crucial for maintaining momentum and focus.
The core questions posed on the slide challenge organizations to reflect on their ability to outpace competitors in developing and launching innovations. This self-assessment is vital for identifying areas for improvement. The slide also delineates specific areas of innovation, including planning and execution rigor, fostering a cross-functional project culture, and emphasizing customer- and market-based learning. Each of these areas is integral to creating an environment conducive to innovation.
Overall, the slide serves as a guide for organizations looking to enhance their innovation capabilities by addressing internal barriers and implementing structured practices that promote effective collaboration and customer engagement.

"Last Sunday morning, I was diligently working on an important presentation for a client and found myself in need of additional content and suitable templates for various types of graphics. Flevy.com proved to be a treasure trove for both content and design at a reasonable price, considering the time I
saved. I encountered a download issue during the ordering process. However, a quick email to Flevy's support team, even on a Sunday (!!!), resulted in assistance within less than an hour, allowing me to download the content I needed. Fantastic job, Flevy! I give 5 stars for both content/price and customer service. Thank you!
