They found that even though companies pay lip service to innovation, most fail to provide the formal structure and support that programs need to succeed, such as an autonomous organization, processes tailored for highly uncertain work, and well-designed metrics. What’s more, the research reveals that companies fundamentally mismanage their innovation talent.
