I was practically standing on the bleachers and cheering (well, metaphorically, anyway) when I read today's piece in the Wall Street Journal, "You Call That Innovation?" Innovation has fallen victim to the same thing that happened to the word "strategy" some years back - remember "strategic procurement" "strategic human resource management" and "strategic supply chain" -- all meant to indicate that the various activities were important. But strategic? I beg to differ.
The empty innovation mantra - way to GO WSJ!
