Innovation management is not a wobbly bridge. However, there is an article titled “London’s wobbly bridge: learning from failure” that considers the ways in which much progress in science, engineering, and innovation is built upon failure. It is because of risks and uncertainties that there is so much failure in innovation; however failures provide valuable opportunities for future improvements

#1 Innovation Problem: No Innovation Ecosystem
Innovation management systems professionals is about new concepts, many of which often come around through the sharing of ideas and knowledge amongst different teams. Consequently, a silo-driven culture is a huge business innovation challenge. After all, a company that can not cooperate within itself can’t share new ideas.
Put this another way: when every team is isolated – or worse, pushed to compete internally – they will focus on many of the above problems: chasing their own KPIs, ensuring high performance to look good for the board and ultimately not bringing anything potentially controversial, new or risky to the table.

There are many ways to solve the aforementioned innovation challenges, but there’s one clear theme throughout: enablement. When leadership is afraid or unwilling to invest resources and time, it denies a bottom-up culture where new ideas are free to be generated, tested and brought forward.
In the opinion of experts, the biggest problem is, as in many cases, the company’s management. People on top need to be innovation leaders to their communities that can implement the new approach to innovation challenge.
Especially this year, in the era of growing importance of digital economy due to the covid pandemic, organisations need to learn how to develop innovative, digital solutions that will be empowering them in this rapidly changing world. The challenge is to do it efficiently.
Repetition and complacency are the enemies of innovation. These changes can take time, but it all starts with a decision from the top to retain some resources and time for solving new, forward-facing or even unusual problems.
