Does everybody devote part of their daily attention to having a better business model? Is it clear to everybody how the company intends to innovate? Does creativity or bureaucracy crowd out innovation? What are the reasons, if any, for why innovation is not as effective as you want it to be? How does your company leverage its internal talent and its access to external talent? How do performance measures and rewards affect innovation? (p. 10).
