we need to stop overthinking innovation

Innovation sounds hard. But it doesn’t have to be.

Here’s how to get started today with the three phases of innovation.

1. Discovery:

Look out to the marketplace for the impact of trends. Futureproofing and possible scenarios kick-start discovery.

Update the customer needs with a face to face interview with your Gold customers.

Check-in with your employees in a brainstorm: Ask “How can we be better, how can we deliver more, how can we demonstrate we care?”

2. Ideation:

Capture the opportunities to perform better and deliver more.

Prioritise the High impact/Low cost activities.

3. Execution by Projects:

Enlist your high potentials in the business and give them an outcomes/activities template to complete with their recommendations.

Set up milestone meetings to support, mentor, solve problems and guarantee delivery.
