Abstract
Both technology and innovation are considered major contributors to the
competitiveness of companies and in exploiting opportunities in the market; however,
too often the people processes are not given enough attention in transformation efforts -
they are viewed as "HR processes" and technical leaders may not see the value of
examining these areas early on as accelerators for change. The innovation culture
framework presented in this paper is based on three thematic elements of innovation
culture in organizations: Transformational Leadership, Organizational Climate /
Environment, and Organizational Practices & Processes. The project tested and refined
the framework by conducting a set of interviews, focus groups and workshop-based
trials with participating commercial organizations. By focusing on the culture within an
organization and coupling with other technology and innovation management efforts,
leaders will have a more systemic understanding of how to sustain and increase the
innovation capabilities of their organizations.
