To Innovate, Think Differently

When it comes to innovation, organizations sometime think there can be a “magic formula” that can propel them from good to great or transform them from a middling player in the marketplace to the market leader. Sure – it would be great if every organization was helmed by a Steve Jobs or a Marc Zuckerberg…people who absolutely see ahead of the curve and have the relentless drive to build to their vision and innovative ideas. The Harvard Business Review recently came out with an article that pointed to this kind of thinker…one who thinks differently in its profile of Jeff Dyer and Hal Gregerson’s work, The Innovator’s DNA…as a recognizable (and unique) phenomenon. However…most organizations are a collection of bright, talented people who need to work together to create a collective wisdom. We can all be innovative leaders…and we are all different thinkers! And as we just found out: Thinking Differently = Greater Innovation Build teams.

STEFAN SAGMEISTER « I DO ART

Vi var blevet inviteret til WE LOVE GRAPHIC DESIGN i Den Sorte Diamant af Lasse Schuleit fra LYNfabrikken, som stod bag arrangementet, for at lave interviews med de fantastiske designere. Vi nævner i flæng: Stefan Sagmeister | All The Way To Paris | TwoPoints.net | Paul Wilson/Yellow1. Første interview i rækken er med manden der, som den sidste, betrådte Diamantens dronningescene.

Who else but: Stefan Sagmeister. Vi fangede ham i solen efter arrangementet til en snak om inspiration, ærlighed, lykke og fremtiden, inden vi kørte ham tilbage på hotellet. Stefan Sagmeister Østrigsk fødte Stefan Sagmeister er helt sikkert et ikon inde for grafisk design, hvis man da kan begrænse hans arbejde til det.

We exhumed some old-school printers who worked their craft die stamping the inks and embossing pure cotton fibre paper. “Absinthe, mother of all happiness, O infinite liquor, you glint in my glass green and pale like the eyes of the mistress I once loved…” (Gustave Kahn) Available later this year in a limited second batch. ECSI. In a recent survey, European and American CEOs didn’t show any interest on the insight generation capability of their companies.

The “strategic insight generation process” wasn’t included in their top ten priorities. As demonstrated by many behavioral studies, human beings can remember no more than 3-5 items at time. If you are not in the top 10, you are irrelevant. Peter Drucker said 11 years ago: “business people stand on the treshold of the knowledge society. In this society, a company’s competitive advantage will come from an historically underdeveloped asset: the ability to capture and apply insights”. We haven’t done a lot of progress since then. The strategic insight is very often related to the customer’s insight. Building such a comprehensive capability would be a competitive advantage, as Drucher said. I am looking for reader’s comments and experiences to orientate our hypotheses before starting the research.
