The Innovation Mindset
When we don’t pay attention to the practices of human innovation, we miss out on the critical skills that must be intentionally built up within a team over time. When we’re stuck in the Invention Model, we’re still looking for lightbulb moments: we believe that we can hire a genius innovator, and then magic happens. But when we have only one bulb, that bulb ultimately burns out.
If we can’t move beyond the Invention model, we will struggle to produce sustainable innovation. Human Innovation is the missing link for both enhancing our individual and team innovation capacity and for creating successful changes in practice for communities of human beings.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
The key to innovating for and with humans is adopting PRACTICES that drive Innovation across your entire business ecosystem.
“One of the most critical lessons for R&D organizations is that invention is the easiest part of innovation. I strongly recommend The Innovation Mindset to anyone who wants to learn how to do the more challenging part - the transformation by human teams of inventions into innovations.”
“The human aspect of innovation is a perpetual challenge for researchers working at the leading edge of robotics and AI. The Innovation Mindset provides a unique view into how to improve human collaboration in support of greater innovation.”
