As has been the position taken by many industry leaders and experts, the need for innovation in American industry can not be over emphasized.
But there is at least one serious obstacle to overcome in any organization wishing to stimulate innovation - the attrition of good ideas. In a great many cases, the reason too many excellent ideas fail to survive the trek from concept to application is that many creative people simply do not know how to gain acceptance of their ideas.
Ideas seldom sell themselves. Ideas require advocates, and the best advocate for any idea is its originator - provided he or she has the persuasion skills to move the idea from concept to acceptance to use.
