  • Who is accountable for collaboration?

    I was watching Gary Hamel’s video on innovation yesterday on Management Innovation Exchange. I must say that I was very impressed by the show. I wonder how Gary can so perfectly synchronize his words and the presentation on the screen behind him. I haven’t figured out whether technology is involved or just countless hours of…

    La question de l’innovation est récurrente dans les grandes entreprises. C’est une tarte à la crème: tous les dirigeants souhaitent que leurs collaborateurs fassent preuve d’imagination et d’initiative pour inventer des solutions originales permettant de conquérir des marchés et de fidéliser les clients. Mais le concept d’innovation est difficile à cerner, souvent incantatoire, et les managers…
