Over the last two years, one of Australia’s largest publicly owned talent management organizations has seen one of its major client’s spend fall from A$30million per annum to $15million per annum, with expectations the total spend year ending 2012 will be around $5million. For any company this is a huge drop in revenue and as the Managing Director said “It is not only a huge drop in revenue for us, it is a huge drop in revenue for the total HR industry in Australia.”

We might not have the paperless office but we certainly have free social media that poses a huge problem for the revenue, profitability and very existence of service driven organizations. The problem now for services organizations is not when to change but what to and how. This means organizational innovation is no longer an imperative. It is a must do.

Yet, organizations find it extremely difficult to implement innovation as it requires strategic, tactical and behavioural change and to align those elements can be an Herculean task.  

This difficulty was highlighted recently when I was invited to a meeting with the MD of one of Asia-Pacific’s leading HR services companies. The MD has responsibility across all divisions for revenue, is passionate about innovation and recognizes the HR market is changing rapidly]]></summary></entry><entry><title>The Power of Reflection on Innovation - Dr Ralph Kerle, the Creative Leadership Forum</title><category term="Innovation"/><category term="Innovation"/><category term="Measurement"/><category term="Strategy"/><category term="benchmarking"/><category term="innovation. reflection"/><category term="leadership"/><category term="management"/><id>http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/24/the-power-of-reflection-on-innovation-dr-ralph-kerle-the-cre.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/24/the-power-of-reflection-on-innovation-dr-ralph-kerle-the-cre.html"/><author><name>Ralph Kerle</name></author><published>2012-04-24T07:26:38Z</published><updated>2012-04-24T07:26:38Z</updated></entry><entry><title>Samsung Smart Window Concept</title><category term="Architecture"/><category term="Design Thinking"/><category term="Innovation"/><category term="Innovation"/><category term="Technology"/><id>http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/20/samsung-smart-window-concept.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/20/samsung-smart-window-concept.html"/><author><name>Ralph Kerle</name></author><published>2012-04-20T04:11:51Z</published><updated>2012-04-20T04:11:51Z</updated></entry><entry><title>The Global Innovation Index - The Innovativeness of Nations</title><category term="Innovation"/><category term="Innovation"/><category term="index"/><id>http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/20/the-global-innovation-index-the-innovativeness-of-nations.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/20/the-global-innovation-index-the-innovativeness-of-nations.html"/><author><name>Ralph Kerle</name></author><published>2012-04-20T03:41:55Z</published><updated>2012-04-20T03:41:55Z</updated></entry><entry><title>A New Model for Mentoring Startups in Emerging Markets - Linda Rottenberg’s High-Impact Endeavor</title><category term="Business "/><category term="Innovation"/><category term="Innovation"/><category term="Investment"/><category term="Leadership"/><category term="business"/><category term="leadership"/><category term="start-ups"/><id>http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/18/a-new-model-for-mentoring-startups-in-emerging-markets-linda.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/18/a-new-model-for-mentoring-startups-in-emerging-markets-linda.html"/><author><name>Ralph Kerle</name></author><published>2012-04-18T00:23:49Z</published><updated>2012-04-18T00:23:49Z</updated></entry><entry><title>How to Make a Region Innovative - Booz&amp;Co</title><category term="Creative leadership"/><category term="Innovation"/><category term="creative economy"/><category term="creative industries"/><category term="creative leadership"/><category term="creativity"/><id>http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/16/how-to-make-a-region-innovative-boozco.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/16/how-to-make-a-region-innovative-boozco.html"/><author><name>Ralph Kerle</name></author><published>2012-04-16T01:18:10Z</published><updated>2012-04-16T01:18:10Z</updated></entry><entry><title>Creativity is Not A Talent, It Is A Way of Operating - John Cleese</title><category term="Creativity"/><category term="Talent"/><category term="creative leadership"/><category term="creativity"/><category term="whole brain thinking"/><id>http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/16/creativity-is-not-a-talent-it-is-a-way-of-operating-john-cle.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://thecreativeleadershipforum.com/creativity-matters-blog/2012/4/16/creativity-is-not-a-talent-it-is-a-way-of-operating-john-cle.html"/><author><name>Ralph Kerle</name></author><published>2012-04-16T00:39:24Z</published><updated>2012-04-16T00:39:24Z</updated></entry><entry><title>What makes a Mozart?

It contains fully functional mockups of two homes (one upper-middle class, one lower-income) complete with kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. It has two mock grocery stores and a virtual-reality lab where you can fly over store shelves.

And, just like a front operation in a spy thriller, the complex is innocuously called BRI Research -- to avoid letting consumers know that they're involved in studies for Procter & Gamble.
