Time problems with innovation

One issue I have been hearing a lot about lately in
reference to implementing corporate innovation programmes
is time:
"My people haven't got enough time to handle their existing
workload! How can I motivate them to find additional time
to think through and contribute ideas?"
or; bearing in mind that a successful innovation/idea
management programme will result in an average of 1 idea
per employee per month: "How will we ever be able to handle
so many ideas? Our company has over 5,000 people?"
Given that, over the long term, a successful innovation
programme should make a company more efficient and/or
generate more income, should a company hire more staff to
deal with innovation? Should it take a slower approach to
innovation? Should it outsource aspects of innovation?
Should it re-allocate resources or...?
What do you think?
