Innovation Culture

26. May 2026

Culture of innovation - a phrase that deserves to be savored, for it consists of two terms that are constantly bandied about in public discourse yet can be precisely defined by only a few: innovation and culture. Innovation, as we have learned by now (there is a detailed explanation of this in the first Innoblog, “Innovation”), is the introduction of something new and must first be introduced to a market, establish itself there, find a steady customer base, and ultimately prevail in the market. Culture, on the other hand, is a dynamic system of values, traditions, behaviors, and forms of expression that shape a society. It encompasses art, language, customs, rituals, and social norms.

Essentially, it's about using this potential properly, and this applies above all to medium-sized and large companies. They have vast resources and an overwhelming number of employees, so it's somewhat surprising that they tend to fail when it comes to innovation. Even if the blame is quickly placed on the staff (“Our employees aren't the most creative”), there are always many reasons why innovations fail or, worse, are not even attempted in the first place.

Let's take a curious look at some of the reasons why companies stumble in innovation projects on the following pages.

Business model innovations are among the most common forms of innovation models but understanding them is not that easy. Let's try to define them:

A business model innovation is the development of new, unique concepts to support the financial viability of an organization, including its mission, and the processes for implementing these concepts.

Okay. Who got that? Let's try again with a statement from BCG (Boston Consulting Group):

“The art of business model innovation lies in improving advantage and value creation through simultaneous and mutually supportive changes to both a company's value proposition to customers and its underlying operating model.”
