-- How Will You Use This Story? --


(OPEN):
PEOPLE OFTEN SAY THAT THEY WANT TO WORK FOR A BUSINESS THAT HAS A "GOOD CULTURE".  BUT, CAN SUCH A CULTURE ACTUALLY MAKE A BUSINESS MORE INNOVATIVE?  ACCORDING TO PLANTE MORAN'S LATEST "INNOVATION SURVEY", THE ANSWER IS "YES".  HOWEVER, RICH ANTONINI [AS IN "MARTINI"]--THE WEST-MICHIGAN MANAGING-PARTNER--SAYS THAT NOT ALL CULTURAL IMPROVEMENTS ARE CREATED EQUAL...

(ANTONINI):
"
WE LEARNED A LOT FROM THE BUSINESSES IN OUR STUDY THAT WE CALL THE 'ELITE INNOVATORS':  THEY'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE BOTH A STRONG CULTURE, AND REVENUE-GROWTH FROM INNOVATION OF AT LEAST 30-PERCENT--OVER THE LAST ONE TO THREE YEARS.  IN THESE 'ELITE INNOVATORS', NO-ONE WAS AFRAID TO PUT UP THEIR HAND, AND MAKE A SUGGESTION; PRAISE WAS USED MORE THAN CASH, AS A MOTIVATOR; COLLABORATION WAS AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL; AND LEADERS SPECIFICALLY MADE CLEAR THAT INNOVATION WAS AN IMPORTANT INITIATIVE."

(CLOSE):
