The Innovation Equation

I work for Starbucks Coffee Company and recognize a high degree of specificity in the completion of tasks. It is necessary to ensure standardization of quality in products from one store to the next. And yet I wonder if this creates a unique challenge for managers to cast the vision of innovation to the team. An employee who is not engaged can easily fall into doing tasks according to the assignment and recipe, and fail to see the opportunity to innovate. Granted many innovations have been tried and tested already, but the empowerment of knowing that their innovation is heard is a huge boost to employees. Managers in such a task specified industry have unique challenges to continue to inspire and engage their team mates.

I work for a Non Banking Finance company as Vice President in Fraud Prevention Unit at Mumbai & I have seen that where bosses are open for ideas ,put forth by employees innovation happens rapidly.My current boss is always open & never shoots down a idea & asks for details.This motivates to develop the idea into a precatical process.
