I would love to know how I can explain to the comapany I work for that it is the right thing to do. I to believe that the company I work for is close minded in that fact of expansion to fix the problems we have. We have the outsources to do it, and the resources to back it. I'm 24 and get the same answer everytime, i'm to inexperienced in the background of the company; and too inexperienced in the sense to understand it. Are You serious, i undertand the matter of global expansion, and realize it could grow any company I work for that can handle the growth. If the company I work for doesn't think they can handle when i know they can, what do I do.

I'm not talking about huge innovation here. We just work with companies doing professional blogging and some cannot see the benefit even when the price is lower and results are higher than with more traditional media. I think some innovation is difficult simply because it is hard to show people the bottom line in something they have never tried before, but I also think some of it has to do with just stubborn resistance to doing things differently even if what they are doing isn't working that spectacularly.

Let hands work with more work for brain. Rebel or non aceptance need to be treated with true root cause. Innovation raises now Innovation stops when standardization is control factor.

Let hands work with more work for brain. Rebel or non aceptance need to be treated with true root cause.

Innovation raises now

Whys is it so. In my work as innovation consultant I have identified a number of reasons. And they all have the common nominator that the distance between a "development specification" and business strategy is to far. What can be done? The development team must get access to business plan, technology strategy and marketing plan. If these do not exist or are not updated the project must do their interpretations of directions based on existing information. THrow away the development specification and work with a development definition instead of detailed decisions in a specification. The definition shoud be the link between the startegy and the specification. We oftenly work with this. The most remarkable result is the internal acceptance and faster roll out. Products that do not have the link risks being stuck in the the organisation. regs/ Magnus Billgren P.S. I like what I see abouth Intrap. D.S.
