I'm sure we all have times where we do not have the feeling that we are going through the motions and watching the clock the hours tick down, and feel like there is something inexplicably in our lives. What was once new and exciting is now known and have become routine. And while the routine may be comfortable, you can feel for a little more desire.
Or maybe you feel that management really do not listen to the input of their employees and are more interested in maintaining the status quo. Or that the separation between the Departments within your organization to create, while at the same time and customer costs as productivity and efficiency goes down. The possibilities may be endless, but they all have one thing in common: a need for change.
How many times in these situations, you have wondered if there was a better way? Or maybe you even to itself, it has to be a better way.
I'm sure we've all had those thoughts at one time or another, and once you get them to see with, you should take note. These thoughts are the first step towards innovation.
The determination of the need for change
Innovation starts with the determination that the way things are currently working just not done. You need to recognize the need for change, which is exactly what you have when you started wondering if there is a better way. Innovation is driven by this idea, feeling that underlying, and it corresponds with previous concepts that I have talked about how Leading Change.
can this knowledge be inspired by something from something as simple as an everyday observation, or a sudden "Eureka!" Moment when everything becomes clear. Innovation can also be seen as the driving progress, as it has been continuous innovation since our simian ancestors smashed open received first stones hard to crack nuts.
Empowering employees
Innovation does not exist either in a vacuum. A new and novel idea can of others and extended or adapted to many other applications, which are far removed from the Creator unforeseen. As an organization, it is important to have a collaborative and open atmosphere, is promoted in the innovation and creativity to develop.
But innovation as creativity, is an often intangible concept that escapes easy categorization and metrics. How exactly can you measure the level of creativity in an office or test? Or, for that matter, how would you even define creativity?
And besides, not everyone is creative minded, or even interested in the creative process at all. We all have our strengths, and for each stereotypically absently and eccentric "creative type", there are others that provide capabilities far beyond concrete and measurable worlds of numbers or accounting.
should provide the overarching goal to create an environment, innovative and unconventional thinking. Managers should their employees enable to promote its proposals and ideas, especially since the employees are often in terms of interaction with the customer at the forefront, and can speak to this firsthand experience that higher-ups do not have insight into. It should be a free-flowing, democratic process in which the significance of ideas, not on seniority or status.
creating time and space for team success
brainstorming sessions can also be a powerful tool in inspiring innovation, but be careful to mix with respecting individual space group work than others personality styles of their preferred levels of social interaction. If you want the best of both worlds, you must ensure that the thinkers and movers have different communication styles and offer each to maximize their levels of success with the appropriate time, space and levels of social interaction. You need to have a middle ground where all needs and styles are recognized for the best group harmony.
incentive and bonus programs may also be useful, but be careful to create an atmosphere of friendly competition and maintain, where every individual success contributes even to the greatest success of the entire team. You do not provide the incentives and rates your original objectives in the shadows, it is imperative that they should remain at the center.
vision and commitment
Inspiring Innovation is not about a few things here and there to change, it requires vision and commitment. It's something you do every day, it is that striving for continuous improvement, the continuous search for a better way. There is no point where you can sit back and comfortably say "I did it. I have inspired innovation" because the moment you do, you have to stop innovate. We all want to inspire, create and innovate. This feeling is not new. But we need to feel inspired to do something, to go from thought to action, and this is really the first step to something new, something exciting. And really, it's all up to you.
