"No thanks, I'm full."

What can you do to whet the appetite for innovation in your business?

First, understand what are the root causes of purported "lack of appetite." Is it fear? Resignation? Contentment with current situation? Something else?

Second, remember that we are social creatures. Role model the changes you wish to see. Don't just talk! Show and reward curiosity, inquisitiveness, iterativeness, and so on.

Third, don't gatekeep innovation. Allow everybody to experience the joy that comes from creating something new and valuable.

And finally, be ready to accept that different organisations have different diets.
