Innovation Champions and Networks Survey

We've just posted the results of a very interesting survey about how innovation champions and innovation networks help companies to evoke more and better innovations. More than 200 people responded.

The key insight from this survey is that innovation champions add the greatest value by helping to improve the human dimensions of innovation - by enabling people to have time to work on their ideas, giving encouragement, and helping come up with good ideas.

A surprise to us was that innovation software tools were not considered all that important.
