“How” of Innovation
How to Hire for innovation and help teams Become more Innovative
Innovation – how to
    hire for it?
“Dynamic range of what average person can accomplish and
 what the best person can accomplish is 50 to 100:1. That’s
                 why we go for A+ players.”
                         ~Steve Jobs
3 things to look for
when hiring:

•T shaped expertise
•Passion to change status quo
Track record of invention
Virgin hires
people with
these traits:
•Cheeky
•Honest
•Amusing
•Questioning
•Disruptive
•Intelligent

Google asks: “What is the
most beautiful math
equation for you?”
Look for T-shaped
    expertise
Passion for

status quo
This is
passion!
Billion dollar question - how can I
become more innovative myself?
5 behaviors
•Questioning
•Observing
•Networking
•Associating
•Experimenting
6 years
3000 innovative executives studied
15%
   most innovative companies – the ones in
which senior execs believe that innovation is
                               their job also
Skill 1: Questioning
“The important and difficult job is never to find the
   right answer, it is to find the right questions.”
                    ~Peter Drucker




                                                        US
“Why a computer costs
the 5 times the sum of its
         parts?”
“Start-up is a human institution designed to create a
 new product or service under conditions of extreme
                 uncertainty” ~Eric Ries
Why?   Why?   Why?     Why?   Why?



        And why not?
?
What if?
Tip: hold qst brainstorming session to come up with 50
       questions; use whiteboard or post-it notes
Exercise time!

5 Whys?
-Find a partner
-Pick one challenge (commercial risk, V&AT
issue etc) and share it
-Partner will ask you “Why” until you got to
the core of the issue
-Switch!
Exercise time!
Yes, but….
–everyone stand up & find partner
-ask them about one thing that he/she wants to do
-than say “Yes, but”…
- change partner!
-do it fast, be provocative, play! Change partner and
ask a different question, in a constructive way:
…and what if?
Skill 2: Observing
Insights can seduce

Insights break barriers and
    overcome authority
“Not understanding well external
environment is a key to innovation
         strategy failure”
        ~Innovation study PWC 2011
Scott Adams,
inventor of Dilbert
Can there be a better cubicle for
           Dilbert?
IDEO created cubicle-based work-
space and worked in it for 5 weeks
Result – modular, human-centered, friendly,
            functional cubicle
“IDEO teams go out to the four corners of the earth
  and come back with golden keys of innovation.”
                 ~Peter Killman, IDEO
How can we ensure that we spend
more time outside of the office with
 people who’s problems we are
            solving ?
How can we learn to capture better
            insights?
Skill 3: Networking
Internal: Formal Innovation
         challenges
Internal: Informal lunch or coffee
             meetings
Visual trumps all senses!
External: entrepreneurs & other
           companies
How can we connect to & learn from
  other industries/entrepreneurs?
Skill 4: Associating
Brain is not linear




              M for “Music”?
Brain works by creating new connections between
             neurons (new networks)
Explore!
Be Fascinated,
not interested!
Some ideas for
feeding your mind
    with ideas
IDEO Deep Dives
Skill 5: Experiment
A/B test     Pilot/prototypes




                  Test fast. Fail. Improve

           “If you build a prototype, other people
                         will help you”
How can we do more pilots
        quickly ?
Dropbox prototype was a video!
What are some of the things you can do
   to start innovating more? Top 3?

5 behaviors
•Questioning (5 Why, Why not, What if)
•Observing (go out)
•Networking (internal formal and
informal & external)
•Associating (team deep dive after first
3 phases, other industries)
•Experimenting (pilots, testing key
hypothesis quickly)

HOW of Innovation

Editor's Notes

  1. …”small group of A+ players can run circlers around B or C players”
  2. But firstly, how to hire people who are already doing it?
  3. Practice by Virgin, Google, Amazon. Virgin say it is easy to recognize such people as they are cheeky, honest, amusing, questioning, disruptive, intelligent and restless|”. Google reads CVs backward
  4. Virgin say it is easy to recognize such people as they are cheeky, honest, amusing, questioning, disruptive, intelligent and restless|”
  5. T shaped expertise is highly sought after by companies like IDEO – deep knowledge of one area (like pharma) and broad knowledge of few other other areas
  6. In case youwere wondering, this is passion (famous baseballcaoch)
  7. …And this is not
  8. In 2209 prof C Christensen at all published a new book on Innovation called, Innovatord DNA, which outlines 5 behaviors of innovators. This also means that innovation is a skill that can be learned. Follow up article came in 2011, How to put Innovator DNA In practice
  9. While in 85% of companies senior leaders believe that their job is to create environment for innovation, in 15% of the most successful companies, senior executives do creative work themselves!!!! Their CEOs spend 50% more time on the discovery!!!
  10. Questions are powerful – they create thinking directions, they trigger change, they bring insights. Living in an open question world requires ability to be comfortable with uncertainy, which is definition of entrepreneurship
  11. This question poised Michael Dell to radically change the ways computers are assembled and sold
  12. Living in an open question world requires ability to be comfortable with uncertainy, which is definition of entrepreneurship
  13. Originaly developed by Toyota, practiced by McKinsey and many other companies. Example of the story of CEO of Amazon, when emplyyer hurt himself on conveyor belt
  14. Write down top 30-50 questions in 15min, one qst per post it note, than prioritize and rearrange
  15. 5whys example – hsCRP – gudelines, KOLs, no products, no communicationYes but example – Finola- I wannabirngAndroxal to NVS
  16. 5whys example – hsCRP – gudelines, KOLs, no products, no communicationYes but example – Finola- I wannabirngAndroxal to NVS
  17. IDEO literally built cubicle based working environment and worked there for 5 weeks, took photos, notes, clipings, recorded eeverything
  18. Modular, human center, flexible, friendly, functional
  19. Teaser question for the breakout session
  20. I Trips again?
  21. Going out of the way to meet people with wildly different backgrounds and perspectives to extend your own knowledge
  22. Pixar coffee are example. Be visual, use whiteboards
  23. It can be through a conference, course with non pharma industry members, other companies. Google and P&G are example of great exchange programs (3 months exhcnage of marketers). Also, P^G is known as a leader in Open Innovation (R&D connect) which is around invitng external people to solve P&G challenges in return for reward
  24. I Trips again?
  25. T there was one missing puzzle, which was
  26. It is improtnat to understand how brain works
  27. We don’t organize words based on the first letter, but based on associations. i.e. music will be associated to a song or artist we like
  28. Brain works by associating, Music will be associated to an artist or a song
  29. Key is curiostiy, interest
  30. Interest is “Does it work” while fascination is :how does it work? Tools? TED and Aspen ideas conferences, books, travel – keeping notes of observations
  31. Ideo follows Questioning, Obserivng and Netwroking with a session called Deep Dive, where solutions emerge and are prioirtized
  32. Software companies are particulary good at this. Google runs A/B test which is like a trial with two arms – they show one group of customers one version of webpage and the other group other side, Than they measure. Piloting fast a or using prototypes is another way, key is to get feedback fast, fail, learn, improve…and create this rapid cycle
  33. FB wall in their headquarters, marking their philosophy of getting products/services out fast, and getting feedback , as oppose to waiting until they get a perfect product. One way we can use this is when thinking about our Patient Service Models r Autoinjectors and ways we can test it without having a final product
  34. Can we apply this to phamrma? Sure yes. Here is an example of DropBox founder who didn’t have a product at all, but created a print screen and a video and then ran it online and got 75k people responsing and asking him to use this service! Again, we can use that for Patient Service Models, autoinjectors etc
  35. These 5 will stay on the screen
