Everyone on the team should feel like they are part of the process to get a sense of Ownership. To test Ownership, here are some questions you should ask:
- Who’s Driving This Thing?: Your program for sustainable Innovation must have a champion, a true driver of the process.
- Where’s the Passion?: Select associates who care and are truly passionate about the product and the effort. Kick disbelievers off the bus – this is too important for naysayers to derail.
- Different Strokes for Different Folks: Assign a specific task to a dedicated “owner” – this is critical to unleashing the best performance out of each member of the project team.
- Is incentive compensation aligned?: Make sure the incentive and recognition programs are supporting and rewarding the results and those involved.
