1. Innovation involves more than new products and includes business model innovation across areas like customers, channels, revenue models and processes. The innovation wheel is a framework that visualizes these different dimensions of innovation.
2. Aligning strategy and innovation is key, with strategy determining where and how to compete while innovation ensures the critical tasks, culture, human resources, and formal organization support the strategic goals.
3. Both strategy and innovation depend on the time horizon, with a three horizon model separating short, medium and long term innovation needs and tasks.

Leadership
is
key
for
innova)on
• Encourage
new
ideas,
especially
from
below
and
from
unexpected
sources.
• Look
ahead,
not
behind.
The
past
is
prologue
but
not
necessarily
precedent.
• Leave
some
slack
for
experimenta8on,
whether
spare
)me
or
seed
money.
• Look
for
improvements,
not
cri)ques.
Encourage
collabora8on
toward
common
goals.
• Be
flexible.
Stress
substance
over
form,
ac)on
over
calendar.
Allow
for
unplanned
opportuni)es.
• Open
strategic
discussions
to
new
voices.
• Accept
that
stretch
goals
mean
some
things
won't
work.
Avoid
public
humilia)on;
promote
public
recogni8on
for
innova)ve
accomplishments.
• Foster
respect
for
people
and
their
talents.
• And
know
learning
is
an
impera)ve.
Everyone,
even
the
most
experienced,
must
be
open
to
learning.
