Leading an organization is hard, especially when you’re asking people to change their behavior or believe in the promise of something new. In these cases people will doubt your efforts and sometimes even try to block them. And as with all new things, there often isn’t a set path to follow. Nor is it likely that historical data will be lighting the way.

To compound the situation, the options can be overwhelming. It seems like HBR, Forbes, and other media channels are constantly doing a story on the latest trend. Yet, as a leader you are tasked with making sense of it all and shaping the right direction for your organization.

We get it because we’ve been there. We have over 15 years of corporate innovation, digital transformation, product development, and startups experience. We’ve had to filter out the noise to tease out what’s important and convey those ideas to colleagues. Our purpose at ValorUp is to prepare and support leaders on this journey because it’s always easier when you have someone by your side.

We have developed a framework for innovation to use within organizations. The framework incorporates first-hand learnings from successes, failures, and common questions asked along the way. Think of it as a compass to assess where you are in your travels, decide where you want to go, and guide your steps towards the destination.

At ValorUp we pride ourselves on transparency. Collaborations are best when they are mutually beneficial and drive results. In that spirit we’d like to share three key beliefs that inform our approach:

• Identity sets the stage – Innovation starts from within. It’s not based on comparison with competitors but rather on how your organization can be a better version of itself.
• Inclusion brings the cast – Good ideas come from everywhere. Don’t stunt potential by attempting to qualify who within the organization deserves to have a voice. Innovation is a team sport and everyone matters.
• Integration is the performance – The dream is to embed innovation into the culture and weave it into how the organization operates. A siloed approach can be effective, yet it limits the benefits to the rest of the organization.
