How many questions can you answer “YES” to?
We’re proactive about idea generation. Innovation is more than a suggestion box.
We’re in touch with our clients. Their suggestions drive our innovation. We get innovative ideas from all levels & divisions of the organization. We partner with people/firms outside the company to get & develop new ideas. We have a clear innovation strategy in place – and everyone knows what it is. I know exactly where to go to learn more about innovation and follow trends. We have a process in place to gather and evaluate good ideas. We actively encourage a culture of curiosity and open dialogue. We continually fuel employees thinking with resources and tools to get better
ideas. I actively participate in brainstorms and help develop new ideas.
