For the last few years, companies have been struggling to find the balance between standardization and innovation.
On one hand, standardizing processes, components and tools help smoothen out execution and delivery. However, hyper-focussing on standardization often leads to a loss of creativity, breaking down team morale and delivering uninspired products and services that are unable to catch the imagination of the target audience.
On the other hand, companies that focus solely on innovation often end up having to manage and collate hundreds of tools and processes, that suit different individuals within the organization. This creates execution bottlenecks and greatly slows down the delivery of quality output.
