They should be involved in the process from start to finish, including challenging ideas that may not work out as planned and helping bring new initiatives to fruition by providing guidance throughout implementation

The role of senior executives in an innovation should be to provide the resources and support necessary for innovation to occur and to create an environment that is conducive to creativity and risk-taking.

As suggested, Senior execs should be leading the culture of innovation. As is occurring in more and more successful companies, there should be company time set aside for staff/employees to use their experience and insight working in the "trenches" close to customers, processes etc in considering new and better ways to improves product, services etc
