At the risk of making a broad generalization, I would say that innovative startups and more mature organizations capable of innovating on a routine basis (like Honda) share two key elements in common: first, a remarkable lack of status differences among employees, and second, a low-friction environment when it comes to the meritocracy of ideas. I actually believe the latter is a function of the former.
