y Overall, three-quarters of associations believe that their organization fosters a culture of innovation (76%), with combination and trade associations more likely to agree that their organization supports innovation (79% and 77%, respectively). y Associations with increases in membership over the past year and the past five years, as
well as those with increases in their overall new members are significantly more likely to indicate that their organization has a culture that supports innovation. Conversely, those reporting declines in membership are significantly more likely to believe their association culture does not support innovation.
Does your organization currently have a process in place for innovation and new ideas?

y More than half of association executives indicate that their association either has a specified process in place for innovation and new ideas (23%) or is currently working on developing such a process (35%). Combination associations are most likely to indicate they do not have any process in place (45%). y Associations reporting increases in one-year and five-year membership numbers are significantly more likely to indicate they already have a
specified process in place to support innovation and new ideas. Conversely, associations reporting declines in membership over the past five years are significantly more apt to indicate they do not have a process in place for innovation and new ideas. IMOs with the most members (over 20,000) and organizations with more than $20 million in their operating budget are significantly more likely to have a specified process for innovation and new ideas.
