Featured Author: Sumanth Kumar Gadde on Innovation Fatigue

Oct. 2, 2026

We're pleased to share a new article from Sumanth Kumar Gadde, "Innovation Fatigue: When Too Much Change Breaks Teams."

Together they can leave a team more focused on what is changing than on what is improving. Sumanth shows how to tell innovation fatigue apart from resistance and burnout, what the warning signs look like, and how to manage change capacity the same way you manage scope, schedule, and budget.

His point that stood out to us: a project can finish on time while the organization becomes less able to absorb the result.

  • What's one thing you've stopped, paused, or retired to make room for something new?
