I always enjoy selected parts of the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos and in this year’s #WEF18 agenda , it certainly had its good points. Overhaul though, I was a little disappointed, as it lacked the real leadership insights you come to expect, strong personalities did not seem to shine through this year from the speakers and panelists give.

The above quote is from the former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Henry Rumsfeld, who mentioned “unknown unknowns” (Rumsfeld, 2002). Since then, people have started using quadrants of knowledge, i.e., known known, known unknown, unknown known, and unknown unknown, to understand and explain the nature of risk but also of leading to an opportunity. For innovators so much of innovation is hard to detect, it needs discovery and working through these quadrants of knowledge as well.

As an innovation strategist at IdeaScale, I focus on helping our clients think creatively about how best to engage their crowd and leverage the wisdom of the crowd to source ideas for new products and services and improve processes. I often share this quote by Wayne Gretzky “Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.” I have revised Gretzky’s statement to say “Skate to where the puck is going, not where it is.”.

Innovation is subversive Are you happy with the way things are right now? Probably not, if you’re reading blog posts about innovation. There’s likely something bothering you. It might be something small, or large. If we’re not happy with the status quo, there’s only one thing that will change it – doing something differently.

I'm a bit mystified this morning, mystified by the fact that so many people I interact with are constantly talking about innovation, and how often they are surprised by it or overtaken by events. The word innovation seems to be on everyone's lips, is constantly in the news, but somehow the concepts behind these words never go beyond the surface. Why is it that smart people who are constantly speaking about innovation and hearing about innovation are so often overtaken by innovation?

I've used the example of Tower Records before - a behemoth astride the recording industry - brought low very quickly by a sudden shift in music distribution. The shift from physical media to digital media, and the shift from albums to songs as the distribution format made Tower suddenly obsolete. Similarly, Blockbuster experienced almost the exact same disruption.

Anyone can think innovatively! It’s easy to assume that the great innovators of history are nothing more than geniuses who win the intellectual lottery. But really, innovation is about psychology, not IQ. In order to be more innovative, it’s a matter of how you learn, how you listen, and what you do with both. Openness. First, no innovator is an island.

How to bring ideas to life? After collecting, refining and reviewing ideas, now comes the big moment; you’re ready to start implementing those ideas. This is the fun part, for most of us, where all the work pays off, and you finally see where your idea is heading and how it might change your business. But even at this late stage, there’s still a lot of room for innovation and experimentation, and you need to leave room for creativity as ideas become reality.
