Innovation is a complex process, the result of a combination of creativity and rationality, which requires a solid organisational foundation and hard work. Daniela Bandera, sociologist and CEO of Nomesis, emphasises the crucial role of theInnovation Leader, not only in generating ideas, but in creating a community that is capable of and keen to innovate.
This leader must create the necessary organisational conditions, manage tensions and foster a supportive environment that encourages sharing and the acceptance of mistakes. Innovation requires rapid implementation to overcome organisational resistance. Innovators must possess strong determination, mental flexibility and be tireless “hard worker“.
The article concludes by emphasising that continuous innovation is essential for ‘rebuilding the foundations’ of organisations, by harnessing collective intelligence and creativity.
