Innovation In-House (Traditional Approach)

Innovation initiatives are spread among the whole organization. There is no central unit or formal Head of Innovations but everyone can come up with new ideas.

interesting innovation supporting tools include:

• Adobe's Kickbox Foundation, employees can volunteer to receive an innovation box with creative tools and a $1,000 prepaid credit card to fund any new projects.
• Ideas that work at Google. Think 10x, Launch, then keep listening, Share everything you can, Hire the right people, Use the 70/20/10 model, Look for ideas everywhere, Use data (not opinions), and Focus on users (not the competition.)
