Ruining the innovation process - no shortage of ideas!

My post over at HBR.org on how to ruin your innovation process seems to have struck a nerve.  Among other things, a whole host of people have offered their own lists of how to get innovation wrong.  I was rather taken with this one, which lists four ways to mess up innovation.  In summary:

• failing to assign responsibilities

• Fixing on ROI too early

• failing to draw the right boundaries

• Fragmenting your effort

We could probably do a whole encyclopedia on messing up innovation!
