6. You are most likely leading or working with a new team,
You hustle hard and work under uncertainty.
All that is to ensure the innovation project or initiative is
successfully implemented.

7. Well Done !

8. If it went well, you would probably be given
the next, bigger innovation project(s).

9. What do you do?

10. What do you do? (Select one)
A. Hustle harder.
B. Turn down the new project(s).

11. Obviously, you hustle harder!

12. But wait,
You might be thinking IF your team want to go through all the hustle again.
You might be pondering IF there is a better and sustainable way to manage and
implement the project(s).

13. Congratulation!

14. You are taking on the One Million Dollar Challenge:
The Development of Your Organization’s Innovation Capability.

15. Because a capability is a
complex management
system.
And yet,
Developing a organization’s
innovation capability
is not so simple.

16. Like all complex systems,
Individuals, Teams, and Organization will react to it
in unexpected ways.

17. So,
We’re not just talking about
building the management
system.
We’re also talking about
improving the ability to
handle the development.

18. The ability to
● Seamlessly translate the innovation strategy into actions…under uncertainty.
● Positively engage with assigned responsibilities… under uncertainty.
● Firmly align daily tasks with desired objectives, key results... under uncertainty.
● Comfortably navigate, learn and make decisions faster... under uncertainty.
...Under Uncertainty

19. What is the best approach for improving the ability?
Typically, the options are:
● Adapt new Practices, such as Agile Scrum, Lean Startups,
● Use interactive Tools, such as Trello, Asana, Slack, etc

20. But,
Very often, we see tool is complemented by other tools,
practice is reinforced by other practices.

21. These require
additional learning and changes for one to adapt to it.
These make
onboarding difficult, and less convincing for others to
follow suit.

22. As a result,
the development of organization’s innovation capability
is always Slow and Inefficient.

23. Now...
What if we do not have to “learn” these new tools or
practices and still improve our ability to build the desired
innovation capability?

24. What if we can decode and embed them
in our routines?
