On Digital Leadership Stefan F.Dieffenbacher has written an awesome packed article focusing one of the most important aspects for every company that (wants to) do(es) innovation!
“With technological change accelerating, companies need to make four fundamental shifts.”

Four interconnected tech trends shaping the future of IT
Innovation at the edge
What incentives will best encourage engineers and domain experts to develop, maintain, and tap into their networks?
What processes are in place for tracking and managing VC activity at the edge?
What capabilities do you need to identify innovation opportunities and “industrialize” the best ones so they can be shared across the organization?
A perpetual-learning culture
Do you have a list of the most important skills your business needs?
What is the minimum level of learning needed for advanced users of analytics and manipulators of data?
How do you track what people are learning and whether that learning is effective and translating into better performance?
IT as a service
Do you have a vision for how the role of the IT organization will change to enable democratization of technology?
How will you elevate the role of the technology product manager, and do you have a road map for developing that role?
What systems will you need to put in place to manage and track the use, reuse, and performance of code?
Expanded trust boundaries
Who is responsible for the enterprise-wide trust and risk landscape?
How have you integrated your efforts around customer trust with overall cybersecurity processes?
What privacy, trust, and security processes are in place to manage the entire life cycle of your data?
It is inevitable that the pace of technological change will continue to accelerate. The successful technology leader of the future will not simply need to adopt new technologies but to build capabilities to absorb continuous change and make it a source of competitive advantage.”
