In the process of setting objectives for your business goals, you should always think SMART – as management guru Peter Drucker applies this expression. To make your objectives easy to understand and monitor, they need to be specific, measurable, assignable, realistic and time-related. This mnemonic can be useful when establishing innovation challenges.

One of the most complicated questions to answer in business is why some ideas succeed and others fail. That is where I came across this interesting TED Talk by Bill Gross (video above), who is the founder of the first US-based startup accelerator: Idealab. In that time, Bill has helped launch over 150 startup companies, and had over 45 of them either go public or be acquired.

The world’s greatest innovators exhibit 27 creative attitudes, and playfulness is one of the most critical attitudes (Kim, 2016). Playfulness is approaching situations in an exploratory manner and seeing the lighter side of a challenge with a sense of humor, which enables flexible thinking. While innovators are focused and passionate about their pursuits, they do not take themselves too seriously.

The first known references to intellectual property date back to 500 B.C.E., when chefs in Sybaris(1) were given year-long exclusives for creating particular culinary delights. This allowed the creators of these sumptuous dishes to enjoy a monopoly on selling their food for a year. This interest in society rewarding inventors has evolved over time to include vast legal structures in every country to protect inventions and inventors.

Most innovation work proceeds independently from company strategy. As a result, the products that arrive in the market are not well aligned with the company’s goals. This challenge is particularly significant in organizations with transformation-oriented strategies, where innovation must directly support growth, scalability, and strategic pivots.

Innovative thinking requires work. Here’s where to start. Can you truly change the way you think? We all have “thinking patterns,” ways and methods we tend to approach problems that we default to. But the old adage applies to problem-solving strategies as well as tools: When all you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail. Here’s how to break out of thought processes that limit your innovation.
