I should have been clearer: innovation debt when combined with technical debt is the issue. When the internal systems stagnate and become a) unstable, b) un-supportable, c) un-upgradable, there is a direct impact to business operations, and escaping from the cycle is time consuming and painful. I did exactly as you suggested, btw, and created a team whose explicit charter is innovation & directed R&D.

Agreed. Feel free to get in touch if you wanna discuss further. (details in profile) I've seen this type of thing pretty much everywhere. c) un-upgradable, there is a direct impact to business operations I'd love to know how to measure this. Any VP of Tech/CIO would be fired if this happened.
