You know you need to innovate to stay competitive — but "innovation" can be a dirty word full of delays, failed projects, budget overruns, and frustration. While your leaders second-guess and judge every effort to determine if it's "innovative enough," your customers are waiting and wondering if they should go somewhere else. Your salespeople are embarrassed pitching the same old stories. And your employees are looking for jobs at more exciting companies that actually listen to them.

But what if everyone in your organization was innovating every single day? What if they were constantly adding value to your business and customers? You already have the resources and creativity you need to push your organization forward. All you need to do now is unleash it.
