Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation. Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action. Change by Design - IDEO. Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, shows how the techniques and strategies of design belong at every level of business. The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses.
The reality is that most innovations come from a process of rigorous examination through which great ideas are identified and developed before being realized as new offerings and capabilities. This book introduces design thinking, the collaborative process by which the designer’s sensibilities and methods are employed to match people’s needs with what is technically feasible and a viable business strategy. In short, design thinking converts need into demand. Design thinking is not just applicable to so-called creative industries or people who work in the design field. Listen to Tim’s interview with Brian Lehrer on design thinking and Change By Design here.
Edge Perspectives with John Hagel. I’ve become increasingly interested in the role that corporate narratives can play in driving business success in more competitive markets - something that I've written about here and here. While many people find the concept of corporate narratives interesting, they often struggle with what a narrative might look like for their company. This isn’t surprising given how few effective corporate narratives there are out there.
In fact, I’ve only found two that really serve as good examples of corporate narratives – the narratives developed by Apple and Nike. The defining elements of a narrative As many will recall from my previous writing, I view narratives as having two key attributes. This is probably the most difficult element of narratives for executives to internalize. At their most fundamental level, narratives answer three questions: Why are we here? So, what might some corporate narratives look like? A hypothetical narrative for a healthcare provider None of this is a given. Bottom line. 2010_Score_R&D. Home | InnoCentive.

Creating new solutions with people, not for them, can help drive radical innovation in the public sector. By focusing on citizens’ own experiences and resources, co-creation can help identify truly valuable services. Public managers should embrace co-creation to deliver better services and outcomes at less cost. Public servants in most modern governments, from the US and the UK to Denmark, and including ‘challenging’ cases such as Greece, Spain and Ireland, are desperate to try to make budget ends meet.
Currently, the universally accepted ‘quick fix’ seems to be across-the board 5%, 10% or even 25% cuts in funding to departments, agencies and other public bodies. However, it is abundantly clear that citizens and business are unwilling to accept drastic reductions to public services, and that politicians dislike compromising key public outcomes – ‘social goods’ such as better health, education and care. The public innovator’s dilemma Co-creation: A new innovation paradigm for government? Home. A Strategy for American Innovation: Driving Towards Sustainable Growth and Quality Jobs. On February 4, 2011, President Obama released an updated Strategy for American Innovation. You can view the updated Strategy here. "History should be our guide.
The United States led the world’s economies in the 20th century because we led the world in innovation. Today, the competition is keener; the challenge is tougher; and that is why innovation is more important than ever. It is the key to good, new jobs for the 21st century. Since taking office, President Obama has taken historic steps to lay the foundation for the innovation economy of the future. 1. Restore American leadership in fundamental research. 2. Promote American exports. 3. Unleash a clean energy revolution. A strong economy, but too reliant on precarious, bubble-driven growth, is unsustainable Despite the American economy’s historic strength, our economic growth has rested for too long on an unstable foundation.
After the tech bubble burst, a new one emerged in the housing and financial sectors. Box 1. Box 2. Box 3.
