Why don’t people think?

• Not encouraged• Fear of failure• Conditioned for sameness

THINK!

Innovate!

Trying to convince the mass of a new idea is useless. Convince innovators and early adopters first.

“

Who are the innovators and early adopters and

how can we partner to drive new thinking

and innovation in HC?

THINK!

Kiss good ideas goodbye

“

What “good” idea do we need to kiss

goodbye? What “bad” idea do we need to

reconsider?

THINK!

Be like “Josef”

“

How can wecultivate a culture that encourages divergent

thinking?

THINK!

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!

Your greatest strength over used can become

your biggest weakness.

Your greatest weakness overcome can become your biggest strength.

Jud or Gen thinking?
