4.2 WHEN TOO MANY INNOVATORS LEAD TO STAGNATION

Client:Corporate Innovation Lab

Challenge: The company’s innovation lab was filled with visionary thinkers but struggled to move projects from ideas to execution. Despite strong creativity, few concepts reached implementation. 

Solution: Through our Growth-Phase Alignment, we identified a lack of Builders and Structurers—people who convert ideas into scalable processes. We helped redesign the team by bringing in execution-driven profiles. 

Result: 

  • Three innovation projects moved to execution within six months 
  • The company developed an internal framework for innovation-to-execution handover 
  • The innovation lab gained credibility with leadership and business units 

 

Is your innovation team designed to deliver tangible business impact, or just great ideas?
