Of course, it is necessary to make the financial case first of all, particularly in mature, well established companies. It is also necessary to show strategic alignment, an aspect often overlooked in companies excelling at managing the status quo. An additional complication in large companies, is that the innovation is unlikely to make a significant dent in the financials of the company, often bearing fruit only beyond the time horizon of senior management.
The greatest complicating factor for innovations that take the company into adjacent and new areas, is that there is no penalty for doing nothing, particularly in periods of financial success. There is no simple prescription. It is a composite of many steps resulting in cultural change within the organization. There has to be a leader who is determined to take the organization to new heights.
The metrics that apply to senior management need to include new top-line growth, and not just bottom-line calculations. Risk tolerance and failure tolerance has to be encouraged. It is only by empowering employees from top to bottom, by a disciplined cultivation of entrepreneurial initiatives which are aligned with corporate strategic goals, will true innovation emerge. Saleability to senior management is related to an innovation definition clearly linked to value.
To make innovation practical to senior management, it is important to show them that innovation is a manageable inside any organization, linked to strategy, process, resources, organization and culture. On top of that, cost cutting and Lean Six Sigma can only help you with what you are currently doing, and add no value to the customer. I have found it useful to take a Balanced Scorecard BSC and Strategy Map approach to visualizing the present state, future state and desired state.
These are mapped with measures and metrics into each other to show what you need to give your employees for them to be able to deliver flawless processes, to thrill your customer, and lead to strong financial growth. When the current state of an organization is placed into this strategy structure, the vulnerabilities are seen and the growth potential is typically flat.
I would then create an Innovation BSC there is literature from PalladiumES on this to show the process possibilities, the impact on the current state and impact on Financials. By doing this, senior management only needs to see pages have backup information if necessary.
Before presenting to senior management, practice this pitch with supporters of your idea as well as the unconvinced. Make sure it is easy to understand and obvious why the change is needed.
Allow some buzz to be created so you have supporters and various levels. If you can convert that person to a champion of change before sharing the new state with the leadership team, it may make that person look like an unselfish team player.
