1. GETTING FIRST TIME
RIGHT OFTEN CURBS
INNOVATION…?

2. We really use more
than 10% of our brain!
 Though dated, but a very
interesting research
findings suggests that the
commonly held myth that
we use only 10% of our
brains is really a myth!
 The organ that
represents 3% of our
body weight and 20%
of body energy is less
understood.

3. Innovations are 'Never'
First Time Right
"It’s hard to
design
products by
focus groups.
People don’t
know what
they want until
you show it to
them.”
HMMMMM
Secret lies in:
Getting faster
and better
feedback from
the channels;
investing lower
on R&D and
removing any
bureaucracy
from the
innovation
process. The
term here
is Minimum
Viable
Product
(MVP), in
other words,
quick and dirty
experiments.

4. The Power of
Introverts, the Power of
Quiet
To make the
most of
individual
and group
thinking, our
offices
should enco
urage
casual,
cafe-style
interaction
s, but
allow
people to
disappear
into
personalize
d, private
spaces whe
n they want
to be alone.

5. Experience Counts for
Nobel Laureates
This may be
attributed
to shift from
theoretical
work, in which
youngsters do
better, towards
experimental
work, which
requires
experience and
aggregation of
knowledge, an
d
therefore favors
older scientists.
This finding
casts serious
doubts on the
role of
youngsters and
collaboration on
the scientific
discoveries and
inventions, and
also the role
of complacency
setting in with
age.

6. The Secret of Ant
Transportation
Networks
The answer
lies
in pheromon
es that the
ants secrete
while taking a
trail where the
response to
pheromone
was found to
follow
aWeber's
Law, such
that
the differenc
e between
quantities of
pheromone o
n the two
sides of the
ant divided by
their sum
determines the
magnitude of
the turning
angle.

7. Yin and Yang of
Corporate Innovation
Google's
model is
more
driven by
rapid
experime
ntation,
and a
bottom-
up
approach,
whereas A

approach
is more
edited,
