Organizational barriers:
Most industries are struggling with lower growth, even stagnant markets. The
best way to take over the competitors is to take market share from the
competitors by running operational innovations around them by fixing low price,
ordinary quality services. The only way to get ahead is to execute in totally
different ways through operational innovations. But still this may affect the
essence of company how work is done. It changes designs of work and
organizational roles.
Some barriers about this process is that according to managers, seniors do not
supports the idea, some think it is not so glamorous. as operational sector is at
bottom tier of organizational activities. As operational requires skills set and
mind set, it is not so common to other managerial level. Most organizational
senior managers only focus on planning, budgeting finance management, but
very few efforts is applied to operational innovations and they are ignorant
about it. They think they can achieve success without getting their hands dirty.
Also one of the barriers is that no separate or specified division of the title as
operation manager or some posts are allocated, so on specific working
department is responsible for it and remaining just want to take risk. Because
operational innovation activities are skilled based which need regular updates.
Making it work even though operational innovation efforts are difficult to apply
successful organizations implement them. First of all what is needed is
convenience to the top level managers or executives. It is much that executives
need to realize it is profitable. Seek role models out of industry and make similar
environment to follow these operational innovations. Identify what are major
barriers on implementing them.

Talking about sustainability, operational innovations are always dynamics. It
needs regular updates and monitoring process. Once innovations are introduced
all competitors follow it and again new should be innovated. Therefore it is
dynamic. That is why companies should make operational innovation
extraordinary but a way of life. It may seem unglamorous but it is only the
lasting basis for superior performance.
