Motivating the Workforce

Kip Knight in his recent address to the Cincinnati AMA Chapter also talked about the ways that organizations can leverage the power of all employees:

1. Cultivating a culture of being open/closed minded;
2. Rewarding new ideas;
3. Leveraging Internet 2.0;
4. Gathering consumer insight;
5. Utlizing Consumers as Editors;
6. Giving up control;
7. There will be blood (for every success, there are many failures so innovate and move or risk being out marketed).
