<em>The Chief “Innovation” Officer “must drive innovation on a shoestring.” They will look for disruptive technology and will typically have a business background.</em>
You can't do innovation on a shoestring. For example, 3M, a company known for its innovation, insists that all its chemical engineers send 10% of their time working on their own projects. There are so insistent on this that any engineer that can't show he spent the require 10% at his annual performance review, is immediately suspended from all other projects until he makes up the time.
Innovation requires lots of trial and error and a lot of blind alleys. It simply can't be done on a shoestring.
