Abstract

Immediate, longer-term and potentially game-changing challenges, related public and other stakeholder concerns, and Government interventions require and/or demand rapid changes of behaviour and transition to different models of organization, operation, business and governance. Innovation is required in the nature, characteristics, purposes, priorities and strategies of organizations and their processes, activities and relationships with stakeholders. Directors and boards have both immediate and longer-term issues to address. This article explores many of the questions and matters they need to consider when leading innovation if it is to result in more flexible, inclusive, resilient, responsive, responsible and supportive organizations and create a simpler, healthier and more fulfilling and sustainable future.
