It is more important for
innovation to be
cross-functionally excellent than functionally excellent. |

innovation process holistically.

There are many parts of the whole field of
innovation:
strategy innovation,
new product development,
creative approaches to
problem solving,
idea management,
suggestion systems, etc.
All of these components are important. "Yet
approaching them piecemeal will bring piecemeal results... These seemingly
disparate issues must be
integrated into a single overarching strategy if
they are to be mobilized in the quest for
growth,"
says Robert B. Tucker, the author of Driving Growth Through
Innovation. |

Cross-Functional TeamsIn
strategic innovation road-mapping, the starting point for knowledge
building and learning about the innovation concept is to establish a shared
view of trends, disruptive technologies and other discontinuities, and
related events that could shape the future.
To move efforts forward,
cross-functional teams, either formal or informal, need to be formed,
and
intellectual teamwork need to be enabled and streamlined.
→
Example
For
incremental innovation product or service development projects, a
cross-functional team typically includes a technical guru, engineer,
designer, manufacturing expert,
supply chain specialist, and marketing
specialist.
Your major
suppliers and customers need also to be kept well informed of
your new product/service development plans and allowed to work together to
build these new solutions.
