Becoming an Innovative, Agile Company
Q&A with the Guest Editors of Monitor’s Innovation Issue
Guest editors Deb Reuben and Denis Stypulkoski sat down with Rita Garwood for a fireside chat to launch Monitor’s very first innovation issue. This summary Q&A reviews key ideas for business leaders seeking to enhance agility, embrace disruption and avoid stagnation.
For a company to truly be innovative, it has to figure out how to continuously harness new ideas. It has to build a culture that captures ideas — from employees, from business partners and business associates — evaluates those ideas and then tests, tries and fails through those ideas, because we never know where that next transformational innovation will come from. But it all starts with a constant flow of ideas. To me, innovation is about creating that continuous process as a company so that you can potentially be a disruptor.
