Innovation can come from anywhere in a company, not just an isolated R&D department. To manage innovation effectively, companies need tools and processes to encourage contributions from across the organization. These include establishing an innovation committee to define challenges and make strategic decisions, appointing innovation managers to oversee daily activities, and organizing cross-functional project teams both within and outside the company to work on innovation. Senior management must also be committed to supporting an innovation culture.

may be involved in
innovation.
