This entire year I\u2019ve been talking about topics that most HR people don\u2019t talk about.\u00a0 Innovation and collaboration are often thought of as the domain of the business side.\u00a0 It\u2019s really the guys in production or R&D to figure out how to innovate, or so we thing.\u00a0 We\u2019re dead wrong.\u00a0 I finally found a whitepaper that creates the linkages between what HR can do about innovation and producing the results for the business.<\/p>\n

In ISR\u2019s case study for innovation,<\/a> they outline a series of drivers for creating a culture that bolsters innovation:<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When examining results from its analyses, ISR concluded that four issues stand out as particularly important for this company to improve in order to support innovation more effectively \u2013 leadership, collaboration and teamwork, rewarding innovation, and bias for action. In the first analysis, ISR found that, of the cultural dimensions supporting innovation, these four issues were among those rated least favorably by company employees when compared with respondents in high-performing organizations. Therefore, there is room to improve in each of these areas.\u00a0 ((ISR, 2005.\u00a0 \u201cBuilding Culture of Innovation.\u201d\u00a0 Retrieved from ISRinsight.com.))<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s interesting to me which were ISR\u2019s 4 major drivers.\u00a0 Collaboration and teamwork is certainly not a surprise, but I\u2019m a bit shocked that \u201csupport for risk taking\u201d and \u201cstimulating environment\u201d were not higher on the list.\u00a0 Generally I would have thought that a stimulating environment (not on the list) and \u201ccollaboration and teamwork\u201d (on the list) would have been tightly correlated.\u00a0 Similarly, a \u201cbias for action\u201d and \u201csupport for risk taking\u201d were also not directly correlated.\u00a0 It\u2019s interesting when you see an organization that can actually measure these drivers within the workforce and put the numbers to good use.\u00a0 While HR is not usually deemed as a key stakeholder for driving innovation, we are up there for building a corporate culture.\u00a0 Linking these two may be HR\u2019s best route to impacting the bottom line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
