Strategies for advancing organizational innovation

This paper offers strategies for advancing organizational innovation and offers an outcome based definition of innovation suited to both for-profit and non-profit organizations. We explore the issues related to structural innovation - that capacity of an organization to become innovative. Starting with the premise that innovation and creativity can be taught, organizations should develop a balanced approach between innovation in organizational strategies and individual training programs so that individuals will be secure in the organization’s effort to innovate. Institutional reward policies for innovation may be more successful if management and employees have similar training on which to build personal innovative skills. By drawing on a broad range of innovation research and literature, a basic framework or model is proposed to assist in identifying opportunities for overall innovation improvement. Our review of the literature suggests that innovation training should not be limited to the R&D division but should be fostered throughout an organization.
