One of my heroes and uber management guru Tom Peters, has come up with a list of 121 tactics, for/on innovation. Each tactic is a nugget in itself, in typical Tom Peters style. He says "recession or no recession, deep recession or not, the challenge to add more and more value grows, and the importance of innovation, and a culture of innovation grows exponentially. A "culture of innovation" covers everything. There is no half way". What more, the document also has 87 of TP's s favourite quotes on innovation, which itself is a treat to read.
The "culture of innovation" that TP covers falls under the following sections:
1. Trying Stuff. Screwing up Stuff. Fast.
2. Discipline. Accountablity. Execution.
3. We are What we Eat.
4. Diversity.
5. R & D
6. Role of Lead Customers. Loving Angry Customers.
7. Cross functional excellence.
8. Project teams
9. SkunkWorks. The invisible/shadow organizations
10. Decentralization
11. Commitment to Excellence in Innovation
Thank you very much,
RamP!

Thanks, RamP for this information. It is interesting to see Tom Peters taking a position against "Systems Thinking". Personally I don't see how "Experimentation" and "Systems Thinking" are either/or. Perhaps Tom is trying to tell so-called ivory tower Strategists to get their hands dirty and think less. Perhaps the pendulum might have swung too much on the other side.
