Why don’t people think?
• Not encouraged• Fear of failure• Conditioned for sameness
THINK!
Grow innovators!
Trying to convince the mass of a new idea is useless. Convince innovators and early adopters first.

Who are the innovators and early adopters in
your hospital? How can you partner
with them to drive innovation?

Be like “Joseph”

What “good” ideas do volunteers need to kiss goodbye? What
“bad” ideas need to be reconsidered?

Use both brains
“Jud” Judgment:
• Logical & linear in their thinking• Ideas are driven through facts
and figures• Only one “right” answer• Don’t JUMP, THINK!
“Gen” Generator:
• Visual in their thinking• Ideas are developed via
unrelated connections • Almost always more than
one “right” answer• Don’t THINK, JUMP!
