In his column, AWWA Executive Director Jack Hoffbuhr describes how change, or innovation, is rapidly becoming the normal mode of operation for most organizations. He describes the innovative organization as having characteristics that include communicating the vision of an innovative culture, developing people, championing cross‐functional teams, and always finding solutions rather than fixing blame.
