Innovation requires an organizational culture that values it

In addition to having effective leadership and a financial structure that supports it, innovation—especially disruptive innovation—requires an organizational culture that embraces the perpetual pursuit of new ways to accomplish their mission.

Every innovation is difficult. That difficulty is compounded immeasurably, however, when a project is embedded in an organization in which most people are continually questioning why the project is being done at all. …Executives can give an enormous boost to a project’s probability of success, therefore, when they ensure that it is being executed in an environment in which everyone involved views the endeavor as crucial to the organization’s future growth and profitability.^[1]
