From my experience studying innovation failures, support alone rarely guarantees success. I have seen organizations with enthusiastic stakeholders struggle due to poor execution, unclear market understanding, or weak cross-functional coordination. I would recommend looking beyond climate indicators to capability alignment, decision speed, and learning mechanisms. Innovation fails not because people don’t support it, but because systems often cannot translate ideas into scalable, market-ready products.
