Innovation Excellence - Slow Down So You Can Go Fast

The Innovation Excellence website provide a range of thoughts and trends on innovation. On the site, Holly Green posted an interesting article regarding the biases that exist within an organisation and hinder its decision-making capacity and therfore its innovation capability.

  • Establishing processes and lines of communication to ensure that truly innovative ideas reach the senior management level
