LiF 2016: LEMO is turning its employees into innovators with Lean Startup

Innovations are like people: they are born, they continuously grow, they saturate, and decline. In the past 15 years, a product’s life cycle has shortened fourfold. At the same time, 6 out of 7 innovation projects never reach the market. This means innovation is more essential than ever, but also remains rather risky.

According to the Accenture study, 70% of CEOs identified innovation as strategic, while only 20% of employees feel engaged in this innovation effort. What is the reason behind this? Why do companies seem unable to tap into their employees’ innovation potential which is awaiting to be expressed?
