Institutional innovation has a very mixed track record of success in developing governments and their private sector. This session examines how institutional innovation can drive sustainable competitiveness. Key leaders will share their insights on how, smart organizations, through a more strategic alignment with the interests of their stakeholders, should develop innovation management practices, funding models, technologies, and organizational structure into a new core competency by 2010.

KEY ISSUES 

1. How do we get leaders to commit the required resources on institutional innovation?

2. How can organizations "differentiate" their innovation strategies to create durable competitive advantage?

3. What effects did institutional innovation have on emerging governments’ competitiveness? How did leaders communicate the value?

4. How do we make the institutional innovation process more inherent in organizational strategies and operations?
