Innovation Variables at Lightspeed (Scenario)
Edwin Lee leads a cross-functional product development team at Lightspeed.com, a software company with employees in 10 countries around the world) The members of Edwin's team are hard-working and highly creative, but he wonders if there are ways to stimulate more innovation from the team. As the company has grown, so too has the bureaucracy. Numerous rules and policies have been introduced, and decision making has become highly centralized. This has resulted in resource limitations and tight project deadlines. Fortunately, with the use of web cams and other Internet technology, Edwin is able to hold frequent meetings with his global cross-functional team. And despite some structural limitations, the company's culture does seem to foster creative solutions. Diverse opinions are encouraged, and even the most unrealistic, ''off-the-wall'' solutions are accepted without criticism.
