“Managers of the most effective teams encouraged adaptive ant colony
behavior, while those of less effective innovation teams expected members to abide by rigid plans and rules.” Ashkenas & Spiegel, HBR, October 2015
Ants, not machines.
Hmmm…
What conditions can effectively foster innovation?
1. A powerful central mission and a loose central structure.
None
“I have neither the place, the time, nor the desire,
to micromanage or make technical decisions for [my team].” Steve Urban, Engineering Mgr. Netflix August 2015
2. Frequent interaction to maximize learning
None
“The only sustainable competitive advantage is an organization's ability to
learn faster than the competition.” Peter Senge, MIT Author, “The Fifth Discipline”, 2006
3. Constant experimentation
None
“If everything we do succeeds, then we are failing, because
it means we are not taking enough risks.” Deborah Bull Director of Partners King’s College, London
4. Freedom to look for the next horizon

Summary 1. Central Mission, Loose Structure 2. Maximize Learning 3.
Constant Experimentation 4. Look for the Next Horizon
“If you want to build a ship, don't drum up
people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 1900-1944
