To Successfully Implement Innovation in Business, You Must Fight Organizational Culture of Fear and Innovation Assassination

The main reason why innovative ideas fail to be implemented is due to an organization's inability to carry out innovation plans. This is often impeded by an ingrained culture of fear and innovation assassination. Encouraging creative error is one way organizations can fight back against this culture, and promote risk-taking among employees. But there are additional strategies that can be used to combat fear and promote a company culture of innovation. Some of these include defusing potential innovation assassins, and avoiding analysis paralysis where perfectionism becomes an innovation assassin.
