At the Swiss Innovation Forum in Zurich, I took a look at the attitudes, ideas and cultures which always manage to stifle — and kill — any hope for innovation within an organization.

Key point? “Organizations fail, because their have failure engrained in their corporate culture!”

This clip is based on an article I wrote a few years ago about the innovation killers. I often tell a joke on stage that it sometimes seems that there are groups of people who wake up every morning and ask themselves, “what I am going to do today to kill off new ideas?”

Take a look at the list of innovation killer phrases.

Take it into your next meeting, and start to take score of how often these phrases are used. That will give you a sense as to whether you are slowly dying from organizational sclerosis, or if you do have a corporate culture that permits innovation to thrive.
