This graph looks at my career over the past decade. Lots of highs, lots of lows. None more important than the other.
What is Innovation?
It’s about looking at people & seeing things from their viewpoint.Not your own.
Innovation is a business affair.It is the commercialisation ofan idea or a process.
What is Creativity?
Unlike many phenomena in science, there is no single authoritative perspective or definition of creativity. - Wikipedia
Creativity means not copying.- Paul Breen
We Need to Re-Think how we run our companies & organisations.
extrinsic intrinsic
We still work in organisations where we pay people bonuses based on results.
This dulls and blocks creativity.
Rewards narrow focus and concentrate the mind.
There is a mismatch between what science knows and companies do.
Rewarding people to solve complex problems doesn't solve the problem, it actually does the opposite.
Google Dan H. Pink
creativity. play
innovationgood ideas
1% Idea > 99% Execution.
It is about ACTION. Creating what you can not see.
It is about CONNECTION. Connecting to culture & humanity.
It is about DEVIATION. Forging new paths.
Hello
Why didn't I think of that?
I thought of that years ago, we just didn't have the money/ the timing wasn't right!
We hear this all too often.
For innovation to happen, for ideas to come to life, there needs to be a dramatic shift
in our mind set.
It is a whole new discipline.
Just because it works for Google does not mean it will work for you. Create an innovation
culture that fits.

Don't let your environment define your strategy... Create a strategy that defines your environment!
More on that last point...
Create SomethingInnovate your life. Simply view the world from someone else's viewpoint.
Share your ideas liberally
Simply view the world from someone else's viewpoint.
