Communicate Ideas
Innovate Solutions
Socialize Success
Welcome
3. First Rule: Communicating Ideas
Your ability to communicate
ideas is directly affected by
the perception people have of
you and its resulting trust.
Perception is, therefore,
reality.
4. Second Rule: Innovating Solutions
Identifying
innovative
solutions is
the back
door to
building a
personal
community
of interest
around the
ideas you
have to be
valuable
You want
people to
see you as
uniquely
valuable
Focus on
Broad Skills
Focus on
Narrow
Skills
Remember – it’s the rare person who can ever accomplish
worthwhile challenges without a team.
5. Rule 3: Socialize Success
—Share your success
—Share the success of people around you
—Share what works (and what doesn’t)
—Ultimately innovation is a close looped process
− Ideas becomes innovations
− Innovations becomes successes
− Successes become the basis for new ideas

20. Idea Network
Building a Personal Community
— During the next 6 months you should be filling
our the form to the right (or a similar form)
— Identify the people in your network that you
can leverage now
— Identify the people in your network that you
need to be successful in your goals, in the
Innovation Pod, in your career, or your life
— Ask you mentor for help in identify what kinds
of people might be helpful to achieve results
— Identify the ways in which you can be naturally
introduced to new people
— What can you do to get their attention?
22. Innovation Pod
Developing a Mentee Network of Influence
• Concept
• 4-6 people and get together to incubate ideas and to innovate!
• Ideal combination would be 2 technical, 1-2 mentors and 1-2 field people
• Pods would be autonomous and meet weekly or bi-weekly as appropriate
• Pods should encourage diversity (avoid duplicate roles, etc…)
• Each Pod should have one member knowledgeable about Patents - Reach
out to the Patent Mentor program if you need a contact
• Deliverable
• Each POD will be encouraged to formalize their discussions and ideas into
one or more Invention Disclosures (a submitted IDF)
• Extra credit will be given to groups that go on to prototype their idea!
• Benefits
• Directly contribute to CA’s IP and deliver value back to the business
• Opportunity to practice the innovation skills we learnt about in Theme 2
• Great fun way to share professional interests and get to know each other
• Expand the professional network amongst mentors and mentees
22
23. — Mentees will be invited to demonstrate thought leadership throughout
program
— Examples include (but are not limited to)
− A CTE Mentor Program Blog entry
− An IDF
− An IdeaWall entry
− An IdeaTree entry
− Contributing to a Techscan2 topic
− A submission on the Author Program
− A group mini-project approved by and presented to the CTE
− Engaging in discussions on our Chatter group ‘The Reef’
− Etc
— We will reinforce the notion that ‘great ideas are not enough’ – you
must develop the skills to communicate your vision and to inspire
others through influence without coercion!

25. Program Expectations: - "Growing professionally and personally" is the summary
that I read in many feedback quotes of former participants.
A perfect goal to motivate any employee to work twice as
hard and to live twice as happily.
- Networking with brilliant coworkers that are not directly
connected to my product line will open new perspectives
and horizons.
- This program sounds like a very rewarding opportunity
to broaden my understanding of the overall vision of CA
in regards to its technical and business roadmap.
Why should you be selected?: - I love to learn and to study. The motivation that I will gain
from all the new impulses of the CTE mentor program will
benefit myself and thanks to my "public" role as a xxx
all of the xxx team members.
…because the box should always be more
interesting than what’s inside!

26. “…I have absolutely LOVED being a part of this! I wish I could continue
participating in this again after this year as I have grown tremendously
and can only hope and aspire to give as much back to CA as I have
been given! THANK YOU!!! I am extremely honored to be part of this
program!”
“It really is what you make of it. I unfortunately, did not try to make the
most of it.”
Everyone starts the program with the same opportunity
…which path will you take from here?
