Developing Innovation Vision and Leadership
Effective innovation leadership has three essential building blocks:

1. Toolset : The collection of tools and techniques used to generate new options,
implement them in the organization, communicate direction, create alignment, and
cause commitment.

2. Skillset : A framework that allows innovation leaders to use their knowledge and
abilities to accomplish their goals. More than tools and techniques, it requires
facility, practice, and mastery of processes.

3. Mind-set: The attitudes and resulting behaviours that allow the tools and skills to
be effective. The mindset is the fundamental operating system of the creative
thinker and distinguishes those leaders who enable creative thinking and
innovation from those who shut it down.
