This issue of The Funnel focuses on the fields of HR and technology and the parts both have in corporate innovation. At Duco, we believe that while innovation is the desired outcome, entrepreneurship practices must fuel an underlying eco-system and drive a structured execution process in order for innovation to happen.
These ecosystems are made of people – the people who think, create and move innovation forward and the people who approve, support and finance innovation related activities. This is why, in order to successfully innovate in corporations, HR must have a central role in planning and implementing the necessary cultural changes.
We also believe that technology has the power to transform business processes, create new opportunities and be a driver of innovation.
These two seemingly unconnected fields, HR and technology, complement each other when it comes to innovation. Both are needed in order to bring about successful, continuous innovation.
