Innovation is Not Creativity My colleague Chris Trimble and I have polled hundreds of managers, asking them to define innovation. Usually, managers equate innovation with creativity. But innovation is not creativity. We like to think of an organization’s capacity for innovation as creativity multiplied by execution. Chris and I have devoted the last ten years studying one question: What are the best practices for executing an innovation initiative? Here’s why we worked on execution, as opposed to creativity: We surveyed thousands of executives in Fortune 500 companies to rate their companies’ innovation skills on a scale of one to 10, one being poor and 10 world class. So which is more effective — moving your (already good) creativity score from six to eight or lifting your (very poor) execution score from one to three? Capacity to innovate = 6 x 1 = 6 Capacity to innovate, increasing creativity score = 8 x 1 = 8 Capacity to innovate, increasing execution score = 6 x 3 = 18 It’s no contest.
