If you want your organization to continue to grow and prosper – new products and services, increased revenue and profitabilty, increased customer base and happier current customers – you must enable for innovation throughout the organization.
Do this by encouraging your employees – throughout the organization, regardless of their job title or role – to share their ideas, suggestions and opinions on how to:
- Improve how the work gets done
- What they have heard from clients (what do clients compliment/complain about?)
- Reduce costs to the organization
- Increase revenue from current clients
- Build the client base
- Branch out into new markets (new products or services)
No idea needs to be perfect or fully developed. If an idea sounds good – why not have the person who suggested the idea lead up a team to explore it further? What a great opportunity for your organization and a great opportunity for exposure and professional development for your employee.
