Step One:Gain First Hand Experience
Looking for innovation opportunities in operations systems, the sales process or your social media marketing strategies?
Achieve more informed and creative results from brainstorming sessions by letting your people have first-hand experience of the topic on the table.

Step One:Gain First Hand Experience
Before innovation brainstorm sessions, make time for research in an authentic environment.
When you regroup in the conference room, you’ll find your people are more passionate and inspired about innovations as a result of their personal experience.

Step Two:Offload Outdated Briefs
Step outside of your comfort zone. Challenge beliefs about the way you operate, how you service clients, what products/services they want, etc.

Step Two:Offload Outdated Briefs
Look for innovation opportunities by monitoring client buying and engagement behaviours. How are their behaviours changing? How can your organisation meet their expectations?
Pay close attention to how the business environment is evolving and adapt accordingly.

Step Three:Provide Tangible Examples to Ignite Ideas
Review activities by other organisations and competitors. What have they done to engage their markets? What worked? What didn’t work?

Step Three:Provide Tangible Examples to Ignite Ideas
Use examples from others to help your people apply creative solutions to your own organisation.
One simple idea can often spark another idea that’s perfect for your markets.

Step Four: Apply Real-Life Limitations to Harness the Creative Ideas
Many of your team’s ideas will fall into the realm of impossible. These ideas will be beyond present organisational capability, funding and/or market reach.
This is an important part of the creative-thinking process. Don’t discourage it.

Step Four: Apply Real-Life Limitations to Harness the Creative Ideas
Instead, harness these ideas into real-life situations that your organisation can use now.
Take the idea and brainstorm what can be done now to achieve some of that idea until we have the budget/resources/market for it?

Innovation Success Involves Everyone
Innovation shouldn’t belong to one person or a single department in your organisation. For real success in innovation, inspire and encourage it across the board.
Everybody has unique and fresh ideas to share and you’ll find that the more you encourage them in idea sharing, the more engaged, inspired and productive your team becomes - and that improves the bottom line.
