The blog post discusses how organizations often claim to want innovation but actually hinder it through their decision-making structures that favor risk over uncertainty. It suggests that to foster genuine innovation, organizations need to approach new ideas as small, routine practices rather than large, visible projects that attract resistance from organizational structures. The author uses examples from both the public and private sectors to illustrate how innovation can be undermined by institutional immune responses, promoting the idea of starting small and quiet to gain traction without triggering defensive reactions from leadership.
