It should be managed by an independent team with also a dedicated budget.

It depends on the culture of the company. Sometimes innovating from inside a BU is not easy due to the innovators dilemma, so need that different space to disrupt yourself. Overall, the close to the customer the better, again, culture matters in the choice imho.

The first problem with innovation is - you can’t demand it.

Creating a culture that supports and rewards innovation would have much better legs than assuming a person or group can drive it. This doesn’t mean you can’t have Chief Innovation Officer or equivalents, but their focus should be on helping shine a spot light on innovation opportunities and pushing them through.

What are the fundamental leadership capabilities that are needed for an era of exponential technology and AI innovation?

Currently in our Enterprise Architecture tool and repository, we have a Business Capability Model (BCM) and a Technology Capability Model (TCM). Enabling Applications (e.g., SAP, Salesforce etc.) are mapped to the BCM, and enabling technologies (e.g., API gateway) are mapped to the TCM. However, some capabilities like Data Management are common to both models and we are trying to figure out best way to represent that.

How have you organized your capability model? Is it a single model containing business and technical capabilities or two separate models? If later, how are you organizing common capabilities like Data Management?
