Innovation Unit Design
The Business Issue
- Corporate innovation efforts at large companies often lack a clear mission and framework
- The Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) is a relatively new position. Each organization interprets it in a different way. We see many Innovation Leaders who fail and only few success stories
The Management Idea
- At ECSI we have researched the role of successful Innovation Leaders across various industries
- Our research highlights the fact that successful Innovation Leaders act more like architects of organizational capabilities than as direct drivers of innovation projects
- Drawing on the results of our research and learning from our consulting work, we have developed a framework that breaks the CIO’s mission down into seven standard roles …
- … and a methodological process to help in the decision making about what to do or not to do in the business context and culture of each organization
The Results
- Clarify and align the organization on the roles of the new Innovation Units and Leaders
- Design the right organizational structures and jobs to raise the innovation performance of the company
