- How to Get Inspired for Innovation: Think Like an Artist
At the center of every innovation there is the proverbial "Aha" moment when you see something about a particular problem that you haven’t seen before. Getting inspiration, then crafting it into a stage production, is what a performing artist does. Getting inspiration and crafting it into a product or service is what a business executive does. Perhaps no one would call us artists, but in order to foster innovation, we need to learn from artists.
- Established Company Looking for Chief Innovation Officer
How will the success of the chief innovation officer and the creative types in the innovation group be measured? Are they just going to dream up ideas and toss them over the wall to be delivered to customers with procedures the company uses to produce its current products and services? In business it’s not just innovative ideas that you want; what really counts is turning those ideas into profitable offerings customers wish to buy.
