Editor's Notes
- The title is "The Spirit of Innovation" - here is a short description: "Innovation isn't just about creating new products or developing new processes, innovation is a mindset. Susan will explore how you can create a spirit creativity and innovation in your business which critical for the long term health and wealth of your business".
- French mathematician, theoretical physicist, engineer, and philosopher of science.
- Let’s do a short test to get an insight into how you are thinking. Easy questions, so say outloud the answer to each question…. See how quickly our thinking is constrained? See how quickly a pattern can become the theme for our thinking and so we miss the obvious.
- Creative and innovative people are no different to any one of us it’s just that they ask more questions, don’t accept labels or categories, seek out new information and are open to move than one perspective.
- The phrase is also used in the title of the book Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by the Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki,
- Other perspectives - Elizabeth Lesser, TED talk – your own or other people, actively seek out the opposite opinion to yours Space – default mode activates when we do nothing, insight comes when we settle the busy mind, allow the answer some space Play – increases serotonin and reduces cortisol Avoid PCC – keep asking questions, what could it be? Drop the preoccupation with the outcome and learn from the process Pay attention – start with something small like what sandwich to choose for lunch, and work up to bigger decisions The key thing is to know when it’s time to stop and take action “The ability to transcend context is the essence of mindfulness and critical to creativity in any field”
