Wanted to share some findings from our innovators' survey we did in January 2024. Very intriguing that most people when developing something new, do not necessarily suffer from tech issues, but mostly from the circumstances in which they work. This context, also known as culture, is a very prominent challenge for innovators. The second one focuses more on the change of strategic focus. Whereas in the beginnning of innovation journey, leaders are typically happy with the enthusiasm and engagement of the whole company, the same leaders want financial or other concrete results in turbulent times. This is known as the marathon sprint problem, where innovators all of a sudden need to step up. Last but certainly not least in this top 3, is the lack of enough resources. This already begins with not enough funding for training and tools. The top 10 included more relevant ones, but these three were the top 3 for sure. Good news is: the newly established platform startwithinnovation.com, is structured around some of these challenges. so if you are an innovator or working on an innovative project that requires concrete results, sign up for our next cohort: in 30 days building concrete results. Before summer, you are done with innovation! https://lnkd.in/gfWKurws goto and sign up! #innovation #swi #startwithinnovation #30dayschallenge Michiel Ykema Job Dijkstra Anna Bessant Erwin Six Konstantin Heckmann Liska Koekoek Barbara Koenen-Geerdink Bob Sorensen Mohammed Shujaat Ali Erna Staals Abdulrahman Almunayes (MBA, B.Sc.
