"In a recent study of over 180 companies, Information Architected Inc. (IAI) found
that while most organizations view innovation as critical to their success,
less than half of respondents are proactively DOING innovation.
It was not surprising to see that 84% view innovation as critical,
said Carl Frappaolo, IAI cofounder and principal.
We read about innovation everyday in the popular press...
Innovation does not happen accidentally, you cannot wait for it to happen to you,
you have to nurture and manage it, own it and make it happen just as you would
with marketing, sales, distribution, production or ANY business function.
Indeed, 68% of the surveyed organizations management believes
that innovation should be managed as a corporate asset and process,
yet only 49% have any form of executive management presiding over innovation"
