I see many companies interested in innovation, but their labor model and state of readiness for innovation will not allow them to remove employees for even 25% of the week to work on an innovation team. More likely, they are expected to maintain full accountability for their day jobs. Sure, we can walk away from such companies and say they are not sufficiently committed. The other approach might be to help them take a first step with such a restricted labor model. What might you advise?
