I absolutely agree!

Using benchmarking as an innovation strategy would be like “skating to where the puck is, instead of where it’s going to be”, to borrow (and reverse) the well-known quote by Wayne Gretzky.

Hi Steve,
thanks for the post!
I am having “upset stomach” when hearing term : best practices as I just find it too old fashioned, out dated and it still serves like a crunches for not adaptable executives in order to impress their subordinates with such a flashy terminology. *( well, it still perfectly works in Slovakia..)

Indeed, the only way how to leave a track in the world out there, is to be aware of what is going on out there and to be really flexible, listen a lot to the voices of your own people as well as customers etc. Nowadays technology is giving us tremendous possibilities to engage every stakeholder into innovation process.

Gosh, I just wish someone from corporate world would be willing to hear out the voices of “digital generation” folks with all the ideas cooking in the heads..
;=)
I could carry on, till tomorrow, but I guess this is just a comment space;-)
So, keep up the great work.
See you around;-)
