There are two issues I would like to discuss with the group:
1. Our next session for Driving Organic Growth is May 10 to 14t h Kellogg School of Management. It will be the best ever. We are extending the program one day to include the important topics of how to build the Capability Platform needed for future growth and how to secure your new market position. The web site is http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/execed/programs/LEAD17/index.htm
As always we strongly suggest sending teams if possible for the richest experience and lower price.
2. I have been invited to submit an article to a prominent business magazine to tell our story on growth—specifically the Market Driven Growth process. Over the years many of you related how you deployed the process and, if interested and it fits, I would like to include your story in the article. Contact me directly via email—bobcooper@racooperllc.com
Have great day
Bob Cooper, Academic Director and Senior Fellow at the Kellogg School of Management, will share his insights into the challenges associated with business growth and innovation to create and stimulate a community of interested participants. This is the backbone of my exec. ed. class on Driving Organic Growth through Innovation: http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/execed/Programs/ORGGROW.aspx

Underpinning of Driving Organic Growth Blog
by Robert Cooper
After much investigation I found four critical components of a successful corporate innovation effort and have tagged the posts in this blog appropriately.
The Critical Role of Leadership
Leadership must frame the overall innovation effort; make the critical resource decisions in a transparent fashion; clear any obstacles that would impede momentum; legitimize the initiatives within the corporation; and, play a major role in setting the climate for innovation.
The Importance of an enabling Corporate Climate
Corporate Climate deals with the: cultural barriers to growth through innovation; the skills required; the incentive systems to create the right behavior; the managing systems and attitude. We have found that managing business risk is an absolutely critical component to a successful, sustainable innovation effort.
Sources of Ideas
Ideas are of course the basis for innovation. Where they come from is changing dramatically. We will discuss this thoroughly going forward. However, you will fall way short if all you do is generate ideas.
The Importance of Process
Process is the final component to a successful innovation effort and we will share what different companies have tried. Within this group there are sub-groups of Managing Uncertainty, Being Ambidextrous and Creating Competitive Separation.
