Here’s How to Not Be Innovative

Here’s How to Not Be Innovative:

Brainstorming
Whiteboarding
Mindmapping.

The path to innovation doesn't start here.
It starts with bravery.

Most companies say they want innovation.

So they appoint a Chief Innovation Officer.
Sponsor a few skunkworks projects.
Celebrate "fail fast" slogans at off-sites.

But innovation doesn't thrive because it's encouraged.
It thrives because it's embraced.

True innovation requires bravery:

The bravery to challenge the status quo
The bravery to surface problems others ignore
The bravery to fail publicly and try again anyway

Bravery is the foundation of an enterprising culture.

It creates the space for new ideas to take root.

Without courage there is no creativity.

Or progress.
