IEEE Spectrum publishes a series of advice articles in partnership with IEEE TEMS. Check out the newest article, “Gaining Leadership Backing for Your Innovations: Steps for Building a Network of Promoters,” by Alexander Brem.

In this article, the author discusses how successful organizational change requires support at several levels. The promoter theory, developed around 25 years ago, shows that change projects are far more likely to succeed when they are supported on multiple organizational levels. A good idea alone is not enough; you need a network of technology, process, and power promoters to turn a concept into a fully implemented, scalable solution.
