CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

Idea Management Team collaboration requires active participation and engagement from your employees. But getting them to be participative shouldn’t be a demand from their superiors.
