  A culture that encourages and supports innovation is essential, and it is down to the leadership of an organisation to establish such a culture. Collaboration, experimentation, prototyping and tolerance of ambiguity and failure are characteristics of an innovation culture.

In trying to establish an ‘innovation culture’, many companies are facing issues arising from historically grown cultural differences between divisions and business units. These should not be ignored but instead should be understood and taken into consideration when steps for culture change are taken - in choosing a path to an innovation culture the company’s (cultural) heritage has to be taken into consideration.
