Innovators are a lot like ALIENS!
Innovation cannot really be managed
But you can manage the ‘Innovation Space’ i.e. Create an enabling environment
Innovation vs ‘Status Quo’
‘Think outside the BOX’
But what BOX is this???
Social Convention
‘Growing up’
Educational Conditioning
Status Quo Social Conditioning
Out of the box thinking is hard because (sadly) life experience has a way of teaching you the
opposite…
‘Status Quo’ = the current mess we are in
‘Status Quo’ = Convention, What is Commonly Accepted
But… not necessarily the best solution e.g.
Prison Break!
Like body building… it’s painful
No pain, No gain!
Unlearn before you learn
Not so easy! How long have u been learning?
Question things
There are absolutes but not all we consider absolutes are such
The GREAT out-of-box thinking test…
Limits? What Limits?
Boundaries? What Boundaries?
Conventional
“hmm, WHY?”
Unconventional, New, Innovative
“hmm, WHY NOT?”
OR
So, Which are you!?
