Common Excuses 

Not to Innovate
• We are too inwardly focused. We look at everything
through our company lens, all the time.
• We know our industry better than anyone. We know
what the big problems are - and their answers.
• Our culture is too risk averse and anti-breakthrouogh.
• We don’t know how to be creative - only analytical and
evaluative.
• We find it difficult to bring ideas from concept to
market.
• Innovation is easier in a smaller company or startup.
