Do innovations have a place for steering an organisation to remould itself into a shape that it was in about a decade back, but with a greater chance to add value to its stakeholders even as it retains its core value-systems?
The question is one that one needs to attempt answering, as there are increasing instances of corporate entities, political parties and sports administrations that seem to have been caught into a vortex of conflicting demands of profit-maximisation, power-centralisation vis-a-vis equitable and sustainable growth, governance and the continuance of relevance to core stakeholder communities. Just look at the challenges being faced by cricket administration in India, the debates on Eurozone or the internal contradictions that India’s principal opposition party BJP is facing, and you will agree that “innovating backwards” to move forward is something worthy of exploration!
Any views on the potency of such an approach, and if any examples exist that one can learn from?
