Rita McGrath has a great post on the HBR blogs on organizing for growth. This quote stood out:
One of the most important jobs a growth group can do is create an opportunity inventory — both of ideas that are floating around in the organization but don't have critical mass, and of ideas that are currently being resourced but perhaps not managed explicitly. Without an organizational home, these critical jobs tend not to get done, hampering the organization's ability to grow.
