    7. © Breakthrough Forum Observations on Innovation (T/F) Big ideas start out big Innovation is mostly about products ……is about the top line ……can’t be taught ……isn’t my job ……is risky ……is expensive ……is an exception

    8. © Breakthrough Forum Research on Creativity (T/F) Creativity comes from only creative types Money is a major creativity motivator Time & pressure fuel creativity Fear forces breakthroughs Competition beats collaboration A streamlined organization is a creative organization

    11. Precondition for Creativity “Giving simple attention….is itself the primary creative act. Originality and creativity emerge not as something that is the result of an effort to achieve a planned and formulated goal, but rather, as the by-product of a mind that is coming to a more nearly normal order of operation.” -- David Bohm, physicist

    12. Fundamental Essence of Creativity Ralph Fritz – Creating ‘Empty space’ Steve Boehlke – ‘Stay in the question’ Rod Greder – ‘Intentionality/Discipline’

    13. “Combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought (creativity) before there is any connection with logical construction in words or other kinds of signs which can be communicated to others.” -- Albert Einstein Action for Creativity

    14. Ways to Innovate Creative Abrasion/Fringe Employees Chaord/Improvisational Organization Intersectional Innovation/Concept Blending Idea wading/Knowledge bridging Break functional fixedness (premature cognitive commitments)

    15. Ways to Innovate Thought Walk Associative barriers/Confirmation Bias Noun into a Verb Pluto Strategy Awareness (See the world as it is not as you are!) Stop thoughting (Quiet your mind) Be intentional!

    20. Triz – Theory of Solving Problems Inventively TRIZ is a powerful “left brained” problem solving tool used to solve product design, engineering design, and organizational problems Based on patterns of invention in the global patent literature Brain and software based Most problems have already been solved if one gets rid of jargon and ego Bias---idea generation is only necessary if we have a “problem” (how to improve, how to replace, are problems) © Breakthrough Forum
