Innovation at Work Level 1 – A Friday Fascinating

By Michelle Malay Carter on December 12, 2008 

My post, Innovation Snobbery Is Not Serving Organizations, which started as?my response to Harvard Business online’s question, What’s Management’s Role in Innovation?,?is one of my most visited posts.

Biased Expectations = Limited Potential
My contention is that all work is creative and all humans are wired to work.? All levels of the organization are accountable to deliver innovation.? Limiting innovation expectations to elite groups, skunk works, or upper levels of the organization limits the potential of an organization.

Expect Innovation from Everyone
Even though work at level one is procedural, it is not mindless.? The accountability at level one is to refine or improve personal skills and knowledge.? Take?43 seconds?out of your day to watch this Friday fascinating example of incredible innovation in a level one role (carry bricks from the boat to the shore).
