My underlying concern in that post is that we’re eliminating a critical component in our broader community by staying separate like that: diversity.

Want Innovation? There was a time in the not-too-distant past when the people who were advocating for innovation in organizations were considered a bit on the fringe. Maybe they were the technology geeks–because that’s where we assumed innovation happened, at the product level. Look at Management. This is tempting.

And second, innovation matters more today. Rapid change and constant innovation are kind of normal for Millennials, which is why they scoff at people who are resistant to a new idea. Our culture assessment breaks innovation down into 8 separate building blocks so you can find the patterns that are getting in the way.

They tell you all the aspects they wish were present in your culture, and probably complain about some of the problems they now face, and you end up developing a list of ideas that capture what you think would be an awesome culture: collaboration, quality, innovation, integrity, etc. How do you do innovation? How agile are you?

These organizations want to move the needle on things like agility, innovation, or transparency…but they don’t have time. Because if we insist on the level of lean we’re running today, we’ll never move the needle on things like innovation, agility, and transparency in the ways we want. I get it, of course. image credit.

I see similar patterns within innovation—we’re all about creativity and inspiration, yet we don’t have processes in place for beta testing, prototyping, or experimentation. Getting your humans focused on the parts of your culture that will drive success is awesome, but it’s just the first step.

It contributes to deadlines being missed (when people won’t confront each other) It causes your best people to start looking for work elsewhere It hurts your diversity efforts (there is no difference without conflict) It hurts your innovation efforts (avoiding conflict = doing it the way we’ve always done it) It keeps you from learning new things It (..)

Presuming that you are intentionally moving your culture in a specific direction (more transparency, stronger capacity for innovation, increased emphasis on accountability, etc.), It’s fine to emphasize the things that make your culture great, of course, but if it sounds like you’re trying to convince, it becomes much less believable.

One of my favorites comes from Menlo Innovations, one of our case studies in When Millennials Take Over, and believe it or not it’s a Viking helmet. And that’s when I introduced the concept of “cultural artifacts” to the group. All cultures have artifacts—tangible symbols of what the culture is and how it works.

More innovation. As they are writing up their plays, there’s one piece of feedback I find myself giving over and over again: Yeah, but what exactly are you going to DO? The first inclination many have is to articulate the result they want. Improve communication. Better coordination. Do a better job at giving feedback.

In China, as the SMR article points out, many organizations who are making great strides in innovation are “combining vertical hierarchy with horizontal flexibility,” as contradictory as that may sound. Although this approach might mitigate risk, it often reduces innovation to a snail’s pace.

When we're too similar, we get less innovation, less learning, we stay in ruts too long. That kind of innovation is normal to them--a normal outcome of a diverse system. We have rules and processes and systems that don't tolerate that kind of innovation, partly because they were not built with diversity in mind.

Innovation is rare. This is that they experience the culture as more traditional than, basically, everybody else. So what is "more traditional?" Change is hard. Authenticity isn’t that important. Information is controlled. Silos are necessary. Things like that.

We might try to be more agile, or boost innovation, or encourage more transparency. I think I know why that is, and it actually has very little to do (initially anyway) with things like agility, innovation, or transparency. So when we can find the time, we work on our culture.

Give certain teams more flexibility to innovate or experiment. Create pockets of innovation and then allow them to connect into a network.

So far, in nearly every organization that I’ve found that has a super-strong and clear culture, the processes they use for hiring, on-boarding, and managing performance have been innovated. Why are we not innovating our staff meetings (team meetings, project meetings, etc.) We take these processes for granted I think.
