Great article, but a very tough concept as most small companies do not have the resources or knowledge to encourage innovation. However, innovation could just be a system to get a job done more quickly. Unfortunately, that type of innovation usually goes unnoticed and unrewarded. I once worked for a company which set their bonuses based on "performance." That sounds like a great idea, except that my bonus was based on the results of my doing sales - on top of programming, SEO and general web development, public speaking, invoicing, creating marketing materials, technical support, etc. It was a vicious cycle. The website needed to be improved to generate revenue, the other tasks needed to be done, but there was not one bit of reward for that work - only for sales. That experience helped me make some "innovative changes to the classes I teach web development classes for business owners. Instead of just focusing on the technical aspects, I hope that I give them an accurate picture of the amount and quality of work and constant innovation that should go into managing a website - or there will be no innovation on the website - just the most necessary tasks. |
