You were promised innovation. You were promised more customers, new streams of value, a nimble organization. You were let down. They said all it would take was an open-plan office, some scrum masters, and a dash of "design thinking" (whatever the heck that is), but here you are with three ping-pong tables and no market disruption. What happened? There are no silver bullets. There's no one weird trick, no perfect universal framework that guarantees innovation, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something. Creating an organization that innovates regularly is hard, and while the strategies and steps we can use to get there are simple, that doesn’t mean they’re quick or easy.
