Amidst the rapid pace of change in today’s business environment, innovation has never been more important. Stephen Wunker (Managing Director, New Markets Advisors and co-author of The Innovative Leader) joined APQC’s Marisa Brown (Senior Principal Research Lead, Supply Chain Management) to present Three Steps to Innovation Capability. They discussed Wunker’s building blocks of innovation: First CREATE leadership methods that inspire, then Aspire, Build, and Cultivate goals, systems, and cultures that support innovation. The four articles in this series on innovation expand on these blocks.
