Power of
Innovation
Networks

• Situation: global energy firm seeks
disruptive outcomes from risk-averse,
highly siloed organization
• Solution: intentionally facilitate a “safe”
network for 600 scientists and engineers
 Excluded managers
 Monitored/rewarded new relationships
 Celebrated collaboration
 Earmarked innovation time
• Outcomes:
 71% of engaged innovators made new
connections
 5 robust solutions advanced to planning
Case A:
Safe
Harbor

• Situation: multi-national heavy equipment
manufacturer doubles-down on velocity,
adaptability and efficiency via “diversity”
• Solution: fuel formation of 1,000 innovator
network from ethnography, marketing,
technology, R&D, production and
engineering to amplify funnel & outcomes
• Outcomes: while in progress, “diversity”
plus an innovation network structure
appear to offer
 Cycle time compression (up to 50%)
 Lower cost of failure (perhaps up to 75%)
Case B:
Forcing
Innovation
Diversity

Benefit

create opportunity for hundreds or thousands of
actors to meet, seek, engage & contribute.
