WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN
INNOVATING
Dr. Anne Snowdon – May 8, 2015
INNOVATION IS A TEAM
SPORT:
IT IS HARD, EVERYONE
HAS A ROLE TO PLAY,
IT IS ABOUT
ENGAGING PEOPLE,
CREATE A
COMPELLING
VISION
UNIFY AGENDAS SO
EVERYONE CAN GET
BEHIND IT
LISTEN A LOT!
INNOVATION REQUIRES
CHAMPIONS;
THOSE CHAMPIONS MAY MOVE ON
MID PROJECT
NEED TO CULTIVATE CHAMPIONS TO
BUILD MOMENTUM
TIMING IS
EVERYTHING
NEED TO MANAGE DELAYS,
PIVOT AROUND THEM,
MAKE THE TIMING WORK
FOR THE TEAM…
TECHNOLOGY
FAILURE…
INEVITABLY THERE WILL BE
CHALLENGES WITH COMPATIBILITY,
INTEROPERABILITY, CONNECTIVITY,
TRAINING ETC.
COMMUNICATION
MATTERS.
.
CHANGE
MEANS TACKLING
INDIVIDUALS AND SYSTEMS
TOGETHER.
AVOID THE
TYRANNY OF
PERFECTION
STRIVE FOR
PROGRESS, NOT
PERFECTION
.INNOVATION ISN’T JUST ABOUT GOOD
IDEAS
IT IS ABOUT EXECUTION
CHANGE
MANAGEMENT.
GREAT IDEAS DONE WELL STILL FAIL IF
THE INNOVATION ISN’T ADOPTED AND
SCALED.
LEADERSHIP IS A MUST HAVE,
NOT A “NICE TO HAVE”.
AND LEADERS COME FROM THE MOST
UNEXPECTED PLACES.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO ACHIEVE
SUCCESS, BUT THERE IS ONLY
ONE WAY TO FAIL
(AND THAT’S A FAILURE TO LEARN
FROM WHAT YOU DO).
“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my
career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26
times, I've been trusted to take the game
winning shot and missed. I've failed over
and over and over again in my life. And
that is why I succeed.”
-Michael Jordan
EVALUATE IMPACT OFTEN TO
DEFINE PROGRESS
FEEDBACK IS THE KEY TO
MEASURING SUCCESS
