Use the fоllоwing tо аnswer Questions 5. There аre no аdditional readings for this question. You are one of the senior leaders of a mid-sized successful financial services company (Z Corp). You are pleased with recent results in your business unit; in fact, you’ve been just promoted to the executive committee.  One of your new EC colleagues suggests that while things are going well now, Z Corp doesn’t really have innovation embedded in its culture – “we have been innovative in the past, sure, but I’m not convinced it is really a key part of our DNA now.” Others on the EC think things are just fine – one colleague was adamant that “we are growing and are profitable; our DNA is to win!” Another confides in you that he believes ‘innovation culture’ is merely shorthand for sloppiness and undisciplined processes. He thought that letting people at Z Corp work on disruptive innovation ideas will just "generate a long list of pet-projects; a lot of nonsense!"  Given you are the most recent member of the EC and have (so far) seemed to be a neutral voice in this long-running debate within the group, the CEO asks you to develop a plan to increase the innovativeness of Z Corp.  The CEO made it clear that he is not expecting you to identify new opportunities yourself; he has a longer-term perspective and wants a plan to ‘futureproof’ Z Corp's success.  You are excited about the opportunity to work on this initiative, and already have a number of ideas to to share with the CEO.
