Guest post By John Sweeney: Innovation is foundational to business leadership. We empower individuals across disciplines to evaluate, orchestrate, strategize, create and hire, but most importantly, we empower others to innovate.

When organizations consider stepping outside of their traditional boundaries to engage with other players in new types of business innovations, they are often a bit lost in how to go about developing such a strategy process.

These can be grouped into five phases: getting started, gaining momentum, the small innovation cycle, scaling out, and rounding off.

To overcome these perceptions, it is important to have sensitizing talks, training sessions, and workshops about how to handle a dibbled workforce. Incorporate any innovative solutions that arise from any personal narratives and difficulties. But having a diverse and inclusive workforce should not be a compulsion, Human Resource departments of organizations and the leadership should actively adopt a culture where it is the norm to have a diverse workforce rather than the exception.
