The document outlines a 5-stage process for inducing innovation among staff: 1) Create an environment of freedom, initiative, and unconstrained collaboration; 2) Reach a state of mind where innovation can be diffused across various fields; 3) Establish information systems like social networks to generate and harvest insights; 4) Continually provide information on technology and markets to nurture innovation; 5) Validate innovations through an expert committee that aligns them with strategy and communicates decisions. The overall approach involves motivating staff, setting up an innovative organization, and maintaining it through information and validation of ideas.

- 2. A new way of working through behaviour and organization! In five stages…
- 3. First stage: Indeed, you can't order innovation but you can induce it and reward it; nevertheless, the best way to create an innovating climate is the total immersion in it during the daily business; it requires a great freedom, initiative enhancement and unconstrained relationship between collaborators whatever their relative level would be.
- 4. Second stage Once you have been reaching such a state of mind, you will be able to diffuse the kind of innovation waited for by the company in various fields.
- 5. Third stage Afterwards, in order to generate suitable insights and harvest them, you will need a framework of informatrion systems including, as mentioned by former responders, social networks- oriented platforms. If you well performed those three stages, you will master an innovative organization with enthusiastic staff.
- 6. Fourth stage (permanent) It is not sufficient to motivate people and set up a suitable organization; you will have to nurture it by means of information. - Information on technology - Information on markets This role may be fulfilled by the network structure and works in any direction.
- 7. Fifth stage (permanent) You will have to sift innovations and set up an experts committee to validate innovations, align them on strategy and making decisions about their realization: this committee will communicate with the staff to ewplain its decisions.
