What about (first crack at it): - your company must be innovating all of the time. - all customers should have 'input' into this innovation at some point in time (directly or indirectly) - some customers should be innovating with you at all times. - innovation leadership enables customers to innovate with you AND each other.

What about (first crack at it):

- your company must be innovating all of the time.
- all customers should have ‘input’ into this innovation at some point in time (directly or indirectly)
- some customers should be innovating with you at all times.
- innovation leadership enables customers to innovate with you AND each other.

I agree, it is probably not necessary, but in the sense of truly talking about an innovation 'DNA' and the idea of a holographic organization, every employee should have some little piece of innovation DNA that gets turned on under some conditions. Or even if it is never expressed, they need to be at least silently embedded in the innovation culture. Just like every cell has a full copy of DNA, but not every cell expresses all of the DNA... As for your '2'... much more complex to think through that problem, and I suspect the main issues would be around incentive management. That's a topic for another essay obviously :) Venkat Hmm… I agree, it is probably not necessary, but in the sense of truly talking about an innovation ‘DNA’ and the idea of a holographic organization, every employee should have some little piece of innovation DNA that gets turned on under some conditions.

Is it really neccessary for ALL employees to innovate some of the time? 2. Could a similar list be developed in relation to prosumer / co-creation communities (and if so, what might have to be changed) Two thoughts jumped into my head when looking at the list:
