THE INNOVATORS ANONYMOUS 
7 
STEP 
PROGRAM 
INNOVATION COMMITTEE
We need to build a 
CULTURE and 
STRUCTURE 
that supports innovation 
in our organizations
It is based on mastery of 
the Seven Steps that 
follow
STEP 1: 
ALWAYS BE 
CURIOUS 
Ask yourself, how can this be 
done better?
STEP 2: 
TAKE ACTION 
Innovation is doing, 
not theorizing.
STEP 3: 
EXPERIMENT 
AND EVOLVE 
Try, fail fast, iterate.
STEP 4: 
BUILD A 
LEARNING 
CULTURE 
Build a culture that embraces 
failure as a 
way to learn. Celebrate 
victories, no matter 
how small.
STEP 5: 
SIMPLIFY 
Focus on the Minimum Viable 
Product, shed the Nice To 
Have's.
STEP 6: 
THE CUSTOMER 
DECIDES 
The customer decides success by what 
she adopts or abandons.
STEP 7: 
DELIBERATELY 
DISRUPT 
If you don't cannibalize your business, 
then someone else will.
BONUS 
SECTION!
Implementing an innovation 
program is not easy, but it can 
bring outsized benefits to your 
organization
To change culture, you need to 
need to change structure. Here 
are some tips:
Structure Tip #1: 
Allocate a specific 
innovation budget out of 
your overall P&L
Structure Tip #2: 
Empower one or two 
forward-looking people to 
make decisions. 
Keep it separate from the 
regular organization.
Structure Tip #3: 
Set KPIs based 
on learning, not 
production.
Structure Tip #4: 
Build a rapid process to evaluate 
learning, decide 
go/ no-go, and move on 
to the next iteration. 
Google X does this daily.
Structure Tip #5: 
Set clear criteria and 
process to transition an 
idea from the 
Innovation track into a 
Business As Usual 
activity.
“FAILURE IS NOT FAILING. 
FAILURE IS FAILING TO TRY.”
