Welcome to how we get to the future.
Organizational Innovation is employee-driven internal innovation. It's how business leaders can work with the organization's natural innovators within a set of processes and systems, to create internal value.
Organizations around the world are always running improvement projects. Organizational Innovation is an environment in which to run these improvements. It is a space of empathy and the harnessing of neural innovation cycles to create innovations in all aspects of an organization, using the OI Value Chain: DESIGN, TRANSFORM, SCALE.
After working with Stanford University, we put design thinking at the forefront of coaching OI, which every manager and business leader can learn. The 'Success Journey of The Employee', using empathy really helps to identify, design, transform and scale internal innovations.
Organizational Innovations range from, for example, HR Paternity Leave policy, to an app that employees can use to balance their priorities. OI Can be used to make improvements all over an organization, extending to customers and the supply chain.
Organizational Innovation is leveraged to highlight use cases for new technologies. After all, it's not the IT department who knows what everyone does and where to innovate. Coaching OI includes a range of technology introductions and practical, experiential understandings of these new technologies. When employees are coached in OI, then they are likely to, using their natural thinking, identify use cases for new technologies.
