WHY SILA?
• Only about half of the most innovative companies:– Have a corporate culture that supports their innovation
strategy– Have alignment between the innovation strategy and
the corporate strategy
• Nearly 20% do not have a well-defined innovation strategy
• “…companies with unsupportive cultures and poor strategic alignment significantly underperform their competitors” (Booz, 2011, p. 1)
(Booz, 2011)

KEY ELEMENTS OF AN INNOVATIVE COMPANY
• Focused innovation strategy• Winning business/corporate strategy• Deep customer insight• Great talent• Proper set of capabilities• Supportive culture
(Booz, 2011)

thread necessary between these elements

EXAMPLE: 3M
• “Companies whose strategic goals are clear, and whose cultures strongly support those goals, possess a huge advantage. Palensky [CTO] articulates his company’s innovation strategy clearly: ‘We call it customer-inspired innovation. Connect with the customer, find out their articulated and unarticulated needs, and then determine the capability at 3M that can be developed across the company that could solve that customer’s problem in a unique, proprietary, and sustainable way’” (Booz, 2011, p. 4).

INPUT: MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES
Mission &
PurposeVision Values
(Latham, 1995)
•Today
•Identifies the customer(s)
•Identifies the critical systems or
core competencies
•States level of performance
•Tomorrow
•Inspirational
•Clear decision-making criteria
•Timeless

“I didn’t believe this ‘vision thing’ made any impact on organizational performance ..... My (research) data showed
just the opposite ---- I found that a clearly articulated vision, fully implemented across an organization, in fact
makes a profoundly positive difference” (Lipton, 1996. p. 83)

INPUT: CORPORATE STRATEGY
• The plan that is driven by an organization’s mission, vision, and values.
• A company's game plan for achieving its long term objectives in light of its industry position, opportunities, and resources

INPUT: CORPORATE STRATEGY PROCESS
1. Decide what your business is
2. Decide who your customers are and what you want to offer them
3. Decide how you will play the game
4. Identify strategic assets and capabilities
5. Create the right organizational environment
(Markides, 2000)

INPUT: INNOVATION STRATEGY
• Need Seekers: actively engaging current and potential customers to shape products. They are the first to market. Example: Apple, 3M, GE
• Market Readers: incremental innovations based on closely monitoring customers and competitors. They are the fast followers. Example: Visteon Corporation
• Technology Drivers: breakthrough and incremental innovation based on their technological capabilities. They are R&D / engineering driven. Example: Google, HP

TOOLS: QUINN’S SUSTAINABLE CHANGE MODEL
• Systems – This component is the easiest to change. While systems may be complex, organizations have the technology and knowledge to redesign and change the systems to improve performance. Unfortunately, experience suggests that performance improvement is often not sustainable because of cultural resistance and individuals who push back on the new ways of doing things.
• Culture – Norms, traditions, and values are a powerful force in organizations. If the new design is not compatible with these norms and values, the chance of successful implementation is reduced. When organizations say that the people have to change the way they work together, people often think that others will have to change, but not them. Consequently, the third component - the "I" of change - is necessary.
• Individuals – Individuals are the essence of any sustainable change. Sustainable change requires that the individuals change and grow, which is often the hardest part of the change process. At the core of this change is a typical learning process where the "gray matter gets grayer" and the "grooves get deeper." This process is often unpleasant, but it is necessary, and it all starts at the top. If the leadership team is not learning and experiencing personal change, lasting organizational change is unlikely.
“What” of
Change

Change“I” of Change
The easy part –
How the system should change
More challenging –
Culture change
Unexpected or unwanted –
Individual change

TOOLS: CULTURE PER HOFSTEDE
Symbols: words, gestures, pictures, objects of meaning by those who
share the culture. E.g., jargon, dress, status symbols.
Heroes: persons who possess characteristics that are prized by the
culture and serve as models. E.g., customer service rep who works all
night to correct a problem.
Rituals: collective activities considered as an essential ( but probably
not meaningful to reaching the desired ends). E.g., how meetings are
organized and conducted.
Values: broad-based tendencies of preference – this is the core of a
culture. E.g., evil versus good, emotional versus rational, revenue at
any cost.
Practices: the visible aspects of culture – what an outside observer
can see, but their meaning is only understood by insiders.
(Hofstede & Hofstede, 2005, p. 7)
