Everything is a remix: CREATIVITY & INNOVATION

What is Innovation?
Its about looking at your customers & seeing things from their viewpoint. Not your own. Innovation is a business affair. It is about creating value by challenging the culture and how we do things around here.

What is Creativity?
Creativity implies creating new stuff by combining two or more existing ideas.

CREATIVITY
Creativity is a generic term. It is abstract and has no reference to quality in regards to a specic situation or task Creativity is not a goal in itself, its the character of an activity; it implies nothing more than an exploration with the intention of creating something new with some kind of value. Telling someone that we are going to have a creative process implies nothing more than: We are going to spend some time coming up with something new But, it should be: We are going to come up with some shit that really works.

Creativity is not a talent. Creativity is a drive

Being UNIQUE has no value in itself, unless it gives the customer something of value.

Please clap, and create the sound of thunder...

...the interesting thing here though is that I asked a group of kids exactly the same question. Not one of you got of your seat to think, right, how can I clap - maybe I can use other parts of my body to create extra sounds. Not

a single one of you thought about clapping in a slightly di(erent way other than sitting in your seats there and using two hands.

-Evelyn Glennie

Why didn't I think of that?

We hear this all too often. For innovation to happen, for ideas to come to life, there needs to be a dramatic shift in our mind set. So, why is it so hard??

Hello of that I thought years ago, we just didn't have the money/ the timing wasn't right!

If you do not manage culture the culture manages you... Don't let your environment dene your strategy... Create a strategy that denes your environment! Our mental maps narrows us!!

Today we are getting better and better at masuring whats easy to measure - not whats important. What you measure gets done, so what do you measure? We need to understand what really creates value and then measure it evidence based.
