German translation:ist weniger wichtig
Explanation:
Ich würde hier etwas freier formulieren. Beispiel: "1. Innovation ist uns sehr wichtig 2. Ist uns weniger wichtig. 3. Ist uns nicht wichtig." Meines Erachtens würde das gehen. Kommt natürlich auch ein bisschen darauf an, wie du die Frage zuvor formulierst.

"Nebenschauplatz" in unserem Unternehmen / untergeordnete Rolle


Explanation:
Innovation ist in unserem Unternehmen eher ein "Nebenschauplatz".

Innovation spielt in unserem Unternehmen eher eine "Nebenrolle"/untergeordnete Rolle.
