The Innovation Mindset
A proven method to fuel performance and results.
The key to innovating for and with humans is adopting PRACTICES that drive Innovation across your entire business ecosystem.
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.
