rhetorical device

Rather than hoping that their future will emerge from a collection of ad hoc, stand-alone efforts that compete with one another for time, money, attention, and prestige, they manage for “total innovation. Managing Your Innovation Portfolio is the lead feature story in this month’s Harvard Business Review. Written by my colleagues, Bansi Nagji and Geoff Tuff, the piece describes the practice of “total innovation,” by which executives can simultaneously invest in three levels of innovation ambition: core; adjacent and transformational. Most crucially, the system allows them to manage the balance between the three and thus avoid the many factors that commonly trip up innovation initiatives. Super interesting premise, and well worth the read (if you can get behind HBR’s paywall, that is.)
