3. The story of innovation has not changed,
Its always the same, a small team of people with
new ideas, typically not understood by people
around them and their executives
4. True innovation happens when you try to improve something 10
times rather than 10%
5. Get real world user feedback
Never get too far from what market wants
7. Referrals from current employees have proven to be a great
way to bring talented new people into our company
Hire people with capabilities and learning abilities
No need of experts
8. Role-Related knowledge (job specific)
Leadership (should know when to follow)
General cognitive ability (How they think and solve the problems)
Personality
9. Dedicate 70% of the projects to the core business
Dedicate 20% of the projects to the field relevant
Dedicate 10% of the projects to the irrelevant to the field
(but should be useful)
10. We cannot expect great or suitable ideas from one person
/one team/one department
Great ideas can be found anywhere and should look for them
every where
11. To make smart decisions use data(facts/records) not
suggestions and opinions
12. If we focus on users (targeted customers) everything
else will follow us
Should start with the desire to improve the lives of users
