Innovatius!

Picture
Innovation isn't magic. On the contrary, to an outsider innovation activities can appear quite routine and maybe even boring. With a disciplined process, the practice of innovation can be systematized and practiced with rigor. ​

"Job To Be Done"

Picture
To unlock more and better ideas for innovation, break the "Job To Be Done" into small steps of initiate, plan, execute, monitor, control, and close. Try to determine how to add value to each step and make the job easier.

Our Purpose

2/26/2019

 
Picture
Our purpose is to empower and help people innovate. We work with the 16% of like-minded people who identify themselves as innovators (2.5%) or early adopters (13.5%).  They're found disproportionately at the foundation of the org chart because that's where the real work gets done.

The future is bright for innovation professionals

Business leaders across all industries and regions will increasingly be called upon to formulate a comprehensive workforce strategy ready to meet the challenges of this new era of accelerating change and innovation.
- WEF Future of Jobs Report 2018
​The Future of Jobs Report is out, and the future looks bright for innovation professionals. Innovation managers are identified as an emerging in-demand role that leverages distinctly 'human' skills, which are less likely to be automated.

Here, innovation requires creativity and alternative thinking to develop new ideas for and answers to work-related problems. 

For example, the number of innovation professionals are expect to almost double in the next four years in some industries such as:
  • Automotive, Aerospace, Supply Chain & Transport
  • Aviation, Travel & Tourism
  • Chemistry, Advanced Materials & Biotechnology
  • Energy Utilities & Technologies
  • Financial Services & Investors
  • Information & Communication Technologies
  • Professional Services

how do you know you have an innovation problem?

2/13/2019

 
Do you have an innovation problem? It’s pretty easy to tell when you have a car problem. Or when you need an electrician. And if your finances are a mess, you might have an accounting problem.

But what are the symptoms that you have an innovation problem?

- Rate of revenue growth has plateaued or is decreasing
- Profit margins are decreasing
- Low engagement or morale from front-line workers
- Lots of projects that are undefined, unfunded, or stuck
- Low productivity on new ventures or initiatives
- Late to market with new innovations
- Too many or not enough ideas

If you do indeed have an innovation problem, how much time are you spending working on a innovation systems solution? What are you investing in, learning, creating, or systemizing? Because you can’t solve your innovation problem tomorrow by simply repeating what you did yesterday.

So please contact us today; right now is your best moment to level up.
