“Innovation has nothing to
do with how many R&D
dollars you have. It’s about
the people you have, how
you’re led, and how much
you get it.”
• The biggest threat to
innovation is internal
politics and an
organizational
culture, which
doesn’t accept failure
and/or doesn’t accept
ideas from outside,
and/or cannot
change.
2016 Gartner Financial Services
Innovation Survey
“Culture tells us what to do when
the CEO isn’t in the room”
Frances X. Frei and Anne Morriss
SIX QUESTIONS
Identify the forces shaping the industry.
Name the collective outcome, the impact.
Call out the danger, disruption and opportunity.
LOOK OUTSIDE TO IDENTIFY KEY TRENDS,
DISRUPTIVE FORCES
Marc Andreessen
Assess and understand the culture.
Be clear about the starting point.
What can and can’t we do, and how fast.
ASSESS THROUGH MULTIPLE LENSES
Executive team defines innovation.
Interviews with executive team & Board.
100% commitment, minimum 80% agreement.
DEFINE INNOVATION
Innovation at …. is the process of finding better, faster,
and cheaper ways to improve service, creating
outstanding member experiences (simple, proactive,
personal), creating new products and services, and
growing partnerships and revenue.
BUILD OWNERSHIP THROUGH
DIALOGUE
Think about innovation as a continuum.
One destination, different speeds.
Define non-negotiable leadership behaviors.

Innovation
Continuous
improvements, to go
faster, better and cheaper
– with the customer
experience in mind.
Leverage our platform
investments and
capabilities to reinvent the
way we do business from
a customer perspective.
Develop disruptive new
businesses that (a) help
replace expected
decreases in auto
insurance premiums over
the next 1-2 decades and
(b) provide new growth.

BIGGEST PAIN POINTS, BIGGEST OPPORTUNITIES
• Most decisions should probably be made with
somewhere around 70% of the information
you wish you had. If you wait for 90%, in most
cases, you’re probably being slow.
• “The more you engage with customers the clearer things become
and the easier it is to determine what you should be doing”
•
John Russell, President, Harley Davidson
• It is easier to act your way into a new way of
thinking than it is to think your way into a new way
of acting
