How to make your employees the biggest ally in your innovation
efforts?
Engage Your People
Hire for Curiosity
FrustrationUrgency
Time Commitment Fairness
Clear Governance
What If Plan
Reward Celebration
Hire for Curiosity You have the experts, but… Build multi-disciplinary teams Diversity for richer ideas (e.g.
cross country and cross seniority) Hire for curiosity to get some
seed of intrapreneurship Focus on execution to make
things happen Is there a new role for HR?
Hire for Curiosity: First Who Then What
It’s not just about the innovative ideas, but more about the people involved in innovation. It is better to have an A team with a B idea, than a B team with an A idea.

”
Create a Sense of Urgency If there is no frustration
with the people there is no urgency
If there is no urgency there is no innovation
Let people know what the customer’s challenge is
Clear Governance, Fairness & Time Commitment
If you don’t have clear governance at all levels (role and responsibility) you are at a loss
Treat your people in a fair way and they will be your biggest ally
If you don’t allow for a minimum time commitment you will get nowhere, two people need to commit for at least 50%, otherwise there is no team
Clear Governance, Fairness & Time Commitment

What If Plan
People left their normal job to work on the idea
If the idea doesn't pan out, we need to provide them with a back-up plan
If you don’t have a plan for the people you won’t kill poor ideas
Celebrate and Reward
If there is no reward there is no motivation
The best reward is recognition; recognition visible to all people including top management
Celebrate successes – even if they are small
