6. Because….
No one asked

7. How do you continue fostering innovation from your teams
when so many are working remotely and under the
strangest of circumstances with a lot of interruptions,
stress and other distractions?

9. WHAT NEEDS TO CHAGE?
“Micro” moments of innovation.

10. Why Micro-Innovation?
• Micro-innovations are small but powerful changes. These incremental “aha” moments
stimulate profound organizational changes that lead to transformation.
• Did you know that great innovations are hardly ever born during big group brainstorming
sessions, mastermind discussions or Innovation committees?
• Innovations that lead to breakthrough results for your company come from your
employees when they work alone, by themselves at the convenience of their own home,
desk, office or simply interacting with your clients.
• The interesting and scary fact is that 7 out of 10 times, your employee who has an idea or
a solution to a problem doesn't even realize that he/she has come up with a micro
solution >> micro-innovation and will keep it to themselves because “no one asked”.

11. 2 MYTHS ABOUT FOSTERING
INNOVATION AND FEEDBACK FROM YOUR
TEAMS

12. MYTH #1
“I have an open door policy so people will
come to me with their ideas”

13. MYTH #2
“We provide training and professional
development to our teams so they are
equipped with the right tools to foster
innovation and communication”

14. MYTH #1
“I have an open door policy so people will
come to me with their ideas”

15. Open door policy puts the responsibility on the team,
not the leader
To encourage idea sharing, you have to ask, but not just with “let me
know if you have any ideas” type of question and hope that they will walk
in your office or send you a message and share their thinking.
There are too many obstacles for your employees who are not your direct
reports to overcome: fear of speaking out because they don’t know how
their direct supervisor will respond, not knowing how to share the
feedback in the most effective way, thinking that “nothing will happen
anyway” even if they share their ideas.
Be intentional in your asking:

17. There is a way to ask that brings out the best ideas
from your team:
• Asking regularly.
• Asking in a way that enables thinking and sharing.
• By acting on what you learn so that your team knows that
their suggestions aren't just collecting dust somewhere in
the suggestion box.

18. How CareerBloom Does it
Here are just 4 on our list of 300+ questions that we ask through our pulse
surveys to help you keep the conversation going and encourage moments of
micro innovation to implement your transformation efforts:
1. What task, system, or event in your daily scenario is the most annoying?
2. If you had complete freedom and control, what would you change first?
3. What’s one thing that can be done better?
4. What task, system, or event in your daily work gives you the most joy?

19. How CareerBloom Does it

26. Where Companies Go Wrong with Learning and
Development?
1 Providing learning at the wrong time: Today’s employees often
learn uniform topics, on L&D’s schedule, and at a time when it bears
little immediate relevance to their role or organization’s pain points.
2 People quickly forget what they’ve learned: if new information isn’t
applied, we’ll forget about 75% of it after just six days.
