What changes would make your email newsletters more engaging? The Wall Street Journal is starting by cutting back on the number of newsletters it produces. How many newsletters does your organization send out each week? WSJ is taking steps to innovate how audiences interact with newsletters, starting with whittling them down.

I bet that if you pull any association’s job posting for a leadership opening, you will find the word “innovation” at least half the time, either as a requirement of the type of person or a descriptor of where the organization is going. I also would bet that if you walk into most associations and ask their team the last time they innovated, they would have to think about it and wouldn’t be able to name more than one innovation in the past year. Let’s make a bet.

Making Innovation Happen Survey. A key takeaway from the survey results is that while association CEOs are focused on driving innovation primarily as a cultural intervention, they are having less success with building innovation as a sustainable organizational capability.

Is your association innovative enough to survive in the roaring twenties? As you read, you might be asking: Why is innovation so important? The short answer is without an innovative approach it will be challenging to perform at the level the marketplace demands. The longer response is that innovation is about more than making new stuff. The easiest place to start building a more innovative team is by identifying the talent that already exists in your organization.

A few years ago, the Michigan Society of Association Executives (MSAE) introduced a new award recognizing innovative collaboration. Even more than that, I was challenged to think about collaboration in a new and somewhat innovative way. Naturally, these projects gain the attention of top leadership, are allotted disproportionately more time on the board agenda, and appear first in both the monthly newsletter and the year-end report.
