Beyond the Champion
Institutionalizing Innovation Through People
Recommendation
Gina Colarelli O’Connor, Andrew C. Corbett, and Lois S. Peters draw on over 20 years of research to reveal why most large firms fail at innovation. They introduce a powerful framework built around the core competencies of “discovery, incubation, and acceleration” (DIA). By mapping these competencies to defined roles and career paths, the authors explain how companies can profitably treat innovation as a disciplined function. The authors inform and guide leaders seeking to transform innovation from a one-off effort into a scalable, “sustainable capability.”
