Innovation Question of the Day

by

Here is the innovation question of the day:

What is one thing that you can do that will improve things?

It can be a big thing, or a small thing. It can be at work, or at home. It can be easy, or hard.

But one way or another , figure out something that you can do that will make things better.

Have you thought of something?

OK, now –

Go and do it!

Here is the point: you have the ability to innovate within your control. You don’t need permission, you don’t need to be asked. Just figure out something to do, and, most importantly – do it.

  2. Until something changes, nothing changes. Until I take the action that I alone can take, innovation will await a champion, a practitioner, and a result that is better than status quo. All it takes for things to go from bad to worse is for good people to do nothing – or do nothing to improve the ‘bad’ things that continue to impact good people. Any system that takes the permission away from those good people to act in their own best interest is a form of ‘tyranny’.

    Want to change something – just ask “why” – and see how the ‘system’ responds.. (or who is offended because you dare to question status quo..). Then you will know exactly what needs to change before anything can really improve. And then as Hugh says – “Go create something..” (better?).
