Innovation Capability of an Organization
Innovation capability is a well spoken subject. Most of the time, it is
explained with reference to product development and organization’s
ability to invent new solutions
for existing and new markets.
This time I am talking about
innovation in context of
behavioral sciences and its
ability to get institutionalized in
organizational structure to form
a remedial mechanism for
radical and incremental change
anytime and time after time. It’s
a common perception to view
the organizational performance
with respect to its managerial
decisions which is not a just way to do it. Human resources are one of
the many factors which together with other elements and systems
constitute a body that exhibits more or less all forms of life linked
characteristics. At the same time, it’s not about putting the parts

RPV – The Life Code of an Organization
These are the three distinct bands of
organizational capacities formulating a
framework to encapsulate every fraction of its

people and a weaker RPV will de-motivate and reduce the abilities. Motivation opens up sight to find
opportunities, improves talent to sense threats and identifies the need for change. And when coupled
with higher human abilities, it accepts the challenge (change) and automatically activates a system to
respond to the change within a stronger RPV framework turning you into a highly innovative
organization.
Ensuring a stronger RPV structure is not a onetime exercise; it takes a well intended effort which must
continue to main it at high standards so that it is institutionalized and embedded in the management
architecture of the company. It was important to discuss the organizational abilities and systems that
form a strong structure in order to guarantee a sustainable change of sales department development
and as a matter of fact any developmental change in any corporate area.
