Creating and Sustaining an Innovation Culture is Tough

Creating and Sustaining an Innovation Culture is Tough

by RISQ Consulting / Tuesday, 09 June 2020 / Published in Blog

By Tiffany Stock, Vice President of Marketing & Client Relations

Here at RISQ, we strive to be thought-leaders and pride ourselves on being innovative, flexible and nimble. A big focus of our culture is on innovation and breaking down the silos on what we do and how we do it. This is one of the very cool things about being on the RISQ team but it definitely presents its own set of unique challenges.

In some professional development that I’m currently engaged in, I came across this article by Gary P. Pisano, published in the Harvard Business Review called The Hard Truth About Innovative Cultures. Gary expands on the 5 key tensions that need to be created and managed in order to achieve and sustain an innovative culture.

  1. Tolerance for Failure but No Tolerance for Incompetence
  2. Willingness to Experiment but Highly Disciplined
  3. Psychologically Safe but Brutally Candid
  4. Collaboration but with Individual Accountability
  5. Flat but Strong Leadership

How does your organization stack up when it comes to fostering an innovative culture? I encourage you to check out the article to learn more.
