Innovation is the at heart of every organization, especially in these fast moving times. It does not matter if you are in a supporting or "traditional" sector. The company performing the service in a faster, better and more efficient way, wins.
The challenge
Innovation goes beyond IT, and yet IT can be a significant driving force to getting new ideas implemented into your organization.
The CIO is typically not seen as a strategic innovation partner. Even when your IT staff has new insights, they may not be valued partners to resolve business problems.
Our advice
Insight
IT can be a valued partner in bringing innovative ideas to the table and enhancing the business's value creation. Work with the business to drive new ideas to the table and into the Continuous improvement pipeline.
Innovation will also reduce shadow-IT as all partners see the value of the improvements and design IT brings to the company.
