This research aims to study the importance of innovation enablers (Enablers), i.e. factors that enable innovation work, for innovation teams in on-going innovation work and to identify which Enablers that are most important. Prior research states that Enablers are important for innovation work, but there’s still knowledge to gain regarding their relative importance. Data from three innovation teams, supported by an external facilitator, were used within this study. The long-term qualitative study demonstrates that the Enablers’ importance varies, but Collaboration, Dedication and Mind-set were the most important Enablers in general to overcome innovation project related problems. Further research is suggested.
