This document discusses innovation and change from multiple perspectives. It examines the internal and external contexts that influence organizations and individuals. Innovation is presented as key to strategy execution, but distinct from establishing strategy, marketing, and measuring financial results. The document provides questions to assess an organization's innovation capabilities and offers help from Radiant Innovation to promote innovative cultures, define innovation processes, train facilitators, and improve brainstorming and problem solving skills.

… IT’S ABOUT HOW YOU DO THINGS …

It’s really the detail of HOW you do things …
And maybe a little bit of when, with whom
using what tools, techniques and so on, and
precisely “where”, with what controls etc.
And finding the right balance for all of that …
But not WHY.
And not how well … ( v. target / v. competition )
That’s with Strategy, Marketing, and Finance …
