NANOBITE #2

Where does innovation come from?
Anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Innovation knows no titles. It is not bound by hierarchy, geography, gender, nor generation. And, it doesn’t only reside in R & D, the lab, or the design studio.
Innovation is Everyone’s Business.
What if you changed not only the rules of the game but also the RULE MAKERS in your organization? What if you literally changed who decides what projects have merit, who works on what, and who collaborates with whom?
Consider the cost of great ideas that get lost in the clutter of slow decision-making, budget negotiations, and management indifference?
Be ever so careful of compromising full-blown commitment for required compliance. How much energy is zapped because people are working on the boss’s pet project—not the one they really care about?
Where will the next blockbuster idea, the next creative insight come from in your organization? Who, where, and what might accelerate your next innovation?
Problem solvers, creative idea generators, and change agents can be anyone and can be found anywhere in an organization at anytime. Perhaps it’s inviting someone to commit to something they care about. Look around, is there anyone, anywhere ready to commit…change the rules, issue an invitation!
