Changing your lens
“Change will not come if
we wait for some other
person or some other time.
We are the ones we've
been waiting for. We are
the change that we seek.”
See things Differently
Phase 0: Problem
1.
Become the Problem Expert
2.
Become the point of reference
3.
Solutions will have to start with you
Deconstructing the problem
Why is this a Problem?
Why did this occur?
How urgent is this problem?
How are others addressing the problem?
Phase 1: Idea
1.
An idea may not be an invention
&
An Invention may not be a good
business
2.
Break the whole process with a time limit
&
Be disciplined about time
3.
Generate as many ideas as possible
&
Forget about constraints first
4.
Select the best 3 Ideas from the list
5.
Get the best one by Elimination and
debate
6.
Start putting constraints on your best
idea
7.
Once you worked that out, test the idea
Phase 2: Innovation
Concern for man and his fate must always form
the chief interest of all innovative endeavors.
As Innovators
we need a shift
of focus…
…from the world
Of innovation…
… to innovation for the
world
“Social innovation
is new ideas that work in meeting
social goals”
Phase 3: Entrepreneurship
”the pursuit
of
opportunity
without
regard to
resources
currently
controlled.”
Howard Stevenson
Create Value
Deliver Value
Capture Value
“Here's to the crazy ones,…
because the ones who are
crazy enough to think
that they can
change the world,
Are the ones who do.”
