Balancing innovation with system reliability requires careful planning and a strategic approach. Innovation drives growth and adaptability, but it must align with system stability to avoid disruptions. Start by identifying core processes that must remain reliable, then integrate new technologies incrementally. Establish a robust risk management plan, ensuring redundancies and backups are in place. Foster a culture of collaboration between innovation and operations teams to prioritize both agility and reliability, ensuring seamless transformation without compromising performance

Innovation to be effective and achieve what it purports to achieve, system reliability has to be there. With the system which is not reliable, innovation can be harmful, dangerous and misleading depending on the innovation being implemented. For example, in the finance field, if we implement innovations with the system which is not reliable, the results might be misleading that is if the system we are referring to is the software. This might also lead to loss of data which might be disastrously to the entity. If the system we are referring to are the personnel managing the entity being not reliable, they might find innovation as a way of hiding the truth of the entity's performance other than improving its performance.

1. *Collaboration*: Work closely with colleagues to understand their concerns and needs. 2. *Innovation Evaluation*: Assess innovation proposals, weighing benefits against potential risks. 3. *Reliability Assurance*: Ensure innovations don't compromise system reliability, conducting necessary testing and validation. 4. *Risk Management*: Identify and mitigate potential risks associated with innovation. 5. *Communication*: Maintain open communication with colleagues, keeping them informed about innovation proposals and their impact. By following these steps, I can effectively navigate colleagues while balancing innovation with system reliability.

Stakeholders are the key to reducing the risk of any innovation. When creating a system, understanding the environment is more important, and this comes from the united participation of all entities. Then, in the end, risk shouldn't be a point of stop but a reason to excel in any innovation.
