In the past, the wise old adage "necessity is the mother of invention" held true. But today businesses can hardly afford to wait until the need proves great enough to change. In fact, a new report just released by IBM titled Enterprise of the Future cites that in 2008:
"eight out of ten CEOs are expecting substantial or very substantial change."
Unfortunately, CEOs in the study rated their ability to manage change 22 percent lower than their expected need for it – a change gap that has nearly tripled since 2006. This rising challenge for change is proving to be difficult for many organizations to meet. Success Performance Solutions has a solution!
Listen to "Why You Won't Survive Without Innovative Capacity," an interview with guest Jacqueline Byrd and host Ira S Wolfe on Workforce Trends.
Innovation keeps companies alive through continuous renewal and growth. Without innovative ideas, a company stagnates and may even cease as a going concern. In other words, you will be left behind if you don't innovate. Innovation is a must, not an option. Being innovative requires both the knack for creativity and a willingness to take risk. The Creatrix™ Inventory is an extraordinary tool that can provide senior executives and management with the answer to the ultimate question of our times: what is our potential and ability to change with the times? In other words, What is our organizational capacity to innovate?
What Creatrix does is identify 8 innovation orientations, ranging from the Sustainer who prefers the status quo to the Innovator who generates an idea a minute but gives little though to implementation.
