Digital FastForward: The Digital Innovation Excelerator.

Mar 16, 2021

In this episode, I talk about blueprint and blue-sky innovation mindsets, and how to assess your own mindset to achieve the best results. When the pandemic was forcing businesses to change, some of our clients took a blueprint innovation mindset. They were hurrying to fix things according to the way they already did them – just adapting a little bit to survive. On the opposite end of the spectrum were those with a blue-sky innovation mindset. They were saying “This is an opportunity to blow everything up and re-imagine it.” They’d decided the blueprint they had wasn’t going to work going forward. They were going to rethink everything. If you’re an innovation leader or an aspiring innovation leader, I recommend assessing your team or even your personal life to see if you’re taking a blueprint or a blue-sky approach.

This episode is all about getting your head in the right place to generate breakthrough innovation and work with your team to get them there too.
