The Innovation Leadership Disconnect
“Executives say innovation is very
important, but their companies’ approach
to it is often informal, and leaders lack
confidence in their innovation decisions.”
Cisco Confidential 18
65% say innovation is a “Top 3 priority” for driving growth
Only 5% say it is NOT a priority
And 14% say it is THE “top priority”
BUT only 36% say innovation is part of what
the organization does
34% say innovation is a part of leadership’s regular agenda
BUT a third say it is governed in an ad hoc way

Final Thoughts
• Communications technology creates
today’s collaborative coffee houses
• You MUST tap into the best sources
of innovation
• You MUST support anytime/anywhere
• You MUST recognize work/life blending
• Canada’s future depends on driving
greater productivity
• Innovation through collaboration is both key
and essential
