Innovation vs Implementation

This title given by Fortune Magazine's Business Innovation Insider, about the Visualization facet of the model got me thinking. I left the following comment.

"The more I work with the model, A Vison of Leadership, the more I am intrigued by this relationship between innovation and implementation. It appears that implementation is about meeting (internal and external) customers' expectations and innovation is about winning new/repeat customers. It also appears that simultaneous/complementary innovation and implementation is about productivity improvement and therefore necessary for sustainability. Certainly, managing the mix of innovation is a significant aspect of leadership whether it is that exercised by a senior manager or that of a front-line worker."
