This document discusses frameworks for fostering innovation. It introduces the 3-4-5 model of innovation which examines talent, resources, and method. It then explores structural and personal factors that influence innovation through the structural square of individual, team, goal, and system levels and the personal triangle of talent, resources, and method. Additional models presented include the pentagon of possibilities examining ideas, trust, engagement, humor, and risk, and requirements for innovation which are to reward behaviors not just results, celebrate failure, and punish inaction. The document provides food for thought on cultivating innovation through organizational culture and frameworks.
20. George Bernard Shaw
Reasonable people adapt themselves to
the world. Unreasonable people attempt
to adapt the world to themselves. All
progress, therefore, depends on
unreasonable people.
27. DON’T GET BEAT UP BY OTHER MONKEYS!
Within any industry, mental models tend to converge over time.
Executives read the same trade magazines, go to the same
conferences, and talk to the same consultants. After a while,
they all think alike. Innovators, by contrast, are contrarians.
In their quest to upend industry rules, they learn how to
distinguish “immutable laws” from “ingrained beliefs.” They
exploit the unhealthy reverence incumbents have for precedent.

32. Don’t worry be crappy!
Employees must not feel their jobs or their future prospects will
be threatened should they propose a bad idea. Employees must feel
they will be rewarded for sharing ideas with the company
