THE IMPORTANCE OF
PEOPLE AND PROCESSES
In large organizations, where
communication is more difficult,
processes are needed to tear down
barriers. They should not be
burdens for the team but rather
tools for helping them achieve their
fully potential.
Organizations need to find their best
people as well as to define and
integrate the most adequate and
streamline processes to reach a
balance between creativity and
control.

CONCLUSIONS AND
CHALLENGES
It is mandatory to innovate permanently
in order to find different ways of bringing
value to Clients. But how?
By involving and committed everyone,
top management included. Why?!
Because innovation does not simply
appear from a creative organization!
Leadership focused on disruption and
“tailor made” processes are essential too.
That’s it?
No, innovation methodologies, tools and
initiatives as well as error tolerance are
important too! And that’s it?
No, of course not and that’s the
ongoing challenge! Daily disruptiveness,
resilience when under pressure to deliver,
give ideas an opportunity, find new
incoming sources, to mention just a few.
