Many companies have established R&D laboratories or assigned specific innovation responsibilities to some individuals. But how many companies have established special organizational structures to promote management innovation? The first step to become a management innovator is to sell his ideas to the whole organization.
Second, create a culture of doubt and problem solving.
How do employees react when faced with challenges? Will they start to wonder? Will they use the standard solutions adopted by their competitors, or will they learn more about the problems and try to find new solutions? Only the last way can lead the company to successful management innovation, and managers should encourage employees to solve problems instead of avoiding them.
Third, look for analogies and examples in different environments.
Companies should learn some highly flexible social systems, such as parliamentary democracy and cities. In order to improve the enthusiasm of employees, companies should observe and learn from various volunteer organizations. It is also very valuable to encourage employees to work in different countries, which can broaden their horizons and stimulate their thinking.
Fourthly, cultivate the ability of low-risk experiments.
The management of a company constantly encourages employees and teams to propose innovative management methods. But they soon realized that in order to turn initiative into effectiveness, all new ideas could not be allowed to spread throughout the organization. They stipulate that every innovation can only be carried out within a limited range of personnel and a limited time. This not only ensures that new ideas have a chance to be implemented, but also does not harm the whole organization.
Use external change resources to explore your new ideas.
When the company has the ability to promote management innovation by itself, it will be useful to selectively use external scholars, consultants, media organizations and management masters. They have three basic functions: the source of new ideas; As a propaganda medium, it makes this management innovation more meaningful; Let the company's work be more recognized.
Six, continuous management innovation
The real winner is not just one or two management innovations. On the contrary, they are continuous management innovators. General Electric is an example. It is not only famous for the principle of "teamwork" and boundaryless organization, but also has many older innovations, such as strategic planning, management development planning, commercialization of R&D and so on.
