Create a culture of innovation

Reward good ideas.• Gamify your KPIs.• Start a hack-a-thon.

Re-think your workspace.• Create ad hoc meeting spaces.• Paint the walls.

Cultivate a bias for action.• Produce something every two weeks.• Don’t let great be the enemy of good.

Be the new IT.• Trust unproven talent.• Be a catalyst. Not a reactant.
