All new ideas are combinations of existing ideas.

THE ONE-TRICK-PONY LOGIC
Inspiration:
Give people the option to choose less.
All of a sudden, you're selling mobile broadband to people who wouldn’t have normally considered it.

This is how you
innovate!
Connecting ideas that are different from each other.

More ideas leads to better ideas.

A VERY SIMPLE PROJECT MODEL IN TWO PARTS
Many angles The right choices
![Page 16: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PrototypingPrototyping is about testing your ideas.

OUR CONTRIBUTION: EXECUTION

HOW IT STARTED
In the first workshop we cracked the first prototype of the concept.
We were far from done!
![Page 21: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
THE TEAM IS ESSENTIAL – DIVERSITY RULES
Strategists
Digital
ConceptualistsCopywriters
Designers Technologists
Many angles The right choices
![Page 22: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
THIRD RULE:
Organizations don't innovate. People do.
And diversity is the strongest driver.
![Page 23: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
THE BIGGEST BARRIER FOR INNOVATION
“Show me the
business proof that
this is going to be a
good idea.”
![Page 24: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
GREEN LIGHT SYSTEMS
Works well in low risk, certain environments.
![Page 25: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
TWO SIDES OF THE COIN
“If you don’t have a process for choosing projects, starting projects, doing projects, and ending projects, you will never get very good at innovation.”
/David Kelley, founder IDEO
Running the business as well as you can
Having the most creative culture you can
![Page 26: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
WATERFALLS ARE POOR - SOMETIMES
They work well when end result is expectedCreative work isn’t like that
![Page 27: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
CONTROLLED CHAOS IS BETTER - SOMETIMES
Observe
Understand
Synthezise
Ideate
Prototype
Iterate
Works well when end result is uncertain
That is the way creative work behave
![Page 28: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WORKS ON CORPORATE LEVEL AS WELL
Choices in this case is a portfolio of different projects and ideas.
![Page 29: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
RED LIGHT SYSTEMS
No one wants to drive the project
Technical issues
Conflicts in the team
Bad idea
Low stakeholder support
Target group misunderstood
![Page 30: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
PrototypingBut on a corporate level.
![Page 31: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
IT’S EASIER TO BE CREATIVE IF THERE IS A CHANCE YOUR IDEA ACTUALLY HAPPENS

That you get to test your idea
”GREEN LIGHT”

LAST RULE:
Plan for, and embrace, mistakes and failure.
![Page 33: How to promote creativity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/558a3932d8b42aa51d8b4660/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
LEADERSHIP IS CRUCIAL IN STIMULATING CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION
Give people permission to take risks
Stand up for ideas when they need to be sold throughout the organization

ONCE AGAIN, THE RULES:
1. All new ideas are combinations of existing ideas.
2. More ideas leads to better ideas.
3. Organizations don't innovate. People do.
And diversity is the strongest driver.
4. Plan for and embrace mistakes and failure.
