How do you encourage more employees to innovate? How do you keep them innovating?

Developing more intrapreneurs – or, employees who can dream up feasible innovations for operationalization and commercialization within the existing business model – is a significant goal of every innovation function. When companies have more self-identified innovators, they see more and better innovations in their roadmaps. Doing so requires a deep-seeded innovation culture that fosters innovation-supporting behaviors all the time, not just at the outset of a new initiative. Start by inviting every employee to share ideas consistently, and provide venues, rituals, guidelines, and feedback loops for idea sharing. Why does it work? Our research shows that when employees narrate their ideas to others, they are more likely to see the potential in their innovation and feel emboldened as an innovator. More innovators = more innovative ideas.
