Advisory Board Member Paddy Miller and his co-author, Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg, explain how to turn team members into innovators. Instead of sending employees to brainstorm off-sites and approaching innovation as a sideline activity, Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg recommend that leaders at all levels become “innovation architects,” creating an ecosystem in which people engage in key innovation behaviors as part of their daily work.

“Innovation as Usual” lights the way toward embedding creativity in the DNA of the workplace where regular employees in make innovation happen in a way that’s both systemic and sustainable.
