description Innovation is a messy process - hard to measure and hard to manage. What is required to harness creativity and apply it to the needs of a business? Creative people can't do it alone: They're likely to fall in love with an idea and never know when to quit. But conventional business people can't do it alone either; they rarely even know where to start. So innovation requires teamwork. Fashion companies have learned to establish and maintain effective partnerships between creative people and numbers-oriented people. These companies: 1. Build effective partnerships with people. 2. Define a partnership-friendly structure. 3. Establish roles and decision rights. 4. Foster talent and nurture collaboration.
