Why a new approach to employee engagement is essential for the innovation for sustained success

Competitive pressures and the pace of change make it essential for you to create an organisation that can respond and adapt. You are only too well aware that failure to do is likely to precipitate the ultimate demise of your business and so you will not be surprised that innovation is another of the 5 essential capabilities for sustained success. Of course innovation is very closely aligned with improved productivity, but is perhaps less inward looking, taking in the elements of:    

  • Products and services   
  • Processes     
  • Delivery

Once again it is a people driven activity, and thus is impossible to deliver if your people are disengaged.  Furthermore, you are only deluding yourself if you think that it is something that can be introduced top-down or is entirely a management issue because as managers you are:

  • More divorced from the day-to-day operational issues
  • More remote from your customers
  • A small proportion of the people in your organisation
  • Not the only ones blessed with creative abilities

Thus any effort to dictate or control innovation on your part can be counter-productive, and stifle the very employee engagement that is essential for innovation. Thus here too it is reasonable to suggest that not only is employee disengagement likely to diminish your innovative capabilities and increase your risk of failure or, at best, inhibit your longer-term sustained success, but any lack of innovation is a primary indicator of a lack of employee engagement.

Consequently, once again the Zealise approach offers you an innovative and effective solution. ZAP starts by helping you identify the key determinants of productivity improvement that are missing and the action you need to take to redress this, while ZIP helps you hermetically seal those actions by instituting and perpetuating the behaviour changes that transform your culture and create a bottom-up force for continuous improvement that automatically engenders productivity increases and thereby sustains success.
