Skateboarding involves riding and performing tricks on a skateboard. It originated in southern California in the late 1940s as surfers looked for something to do when waves were flat. Early skateboards were made from wooden boxes and roller skate wheels. In the 1970s, urethane wheels were developed, improving traction and performance and leading to a rise in skateboarding's popularity. New tricks were invented, including the ollie, and vert (vertical) skating grew in popularity. Through the 1980s, street skating became more popular as most people could not access vert ramps. Street skating led to the evolution of smaller, harder-wheeled boards designed for street use.
'Jugaad' is the improvised, frugal Indian approach to innovation. It is becoming increasingly influential in the thinking of many corporations. This series of presentations examines creativity and innovation and means to apply proven techniques for driving systematic, repeatable and managed innovation in your company.
We all have heard the word, innovation. Everyone is talking about it like a commodity.
樂 But what is innovation, really? How do we unfold the meaning of this popular yet abstract word? What makes a successful innovator?
If there is a secret ingredient for innovation, don't you want to know it?
Come and join us to discover some answers to these questions in this engaging and inspiring talk.
In this presentation you'll learn:
The core elements of innovation
Tools to guide your innovation journey
Practical examples innovators have used in the history of innovation
The SECRET ingredient to innovate
The document discusses strategies for promoting creativity in engineering and science fields. It provides quotes from innovators emphasizing the importance of creativity. It also lists traits of creative thinkers, thinking tools to overcome blocks, and ways organizations can support creativity through programs, rewards, and dedicated spaces. The overall message is that creativity can be learned and cultivated through intentional practices.

Chapter 1 from Creativity in Business by Michael Ray and Rochelle Myers.
http://faculty-gsb.stanford.edu/ray/bio.html
The document discusses various topics related to innovation including the importance of ideas in the 21st century, moving away from hierarchical structures towards more collaborative and open organizations, the role of incremental changes and rapid prototyping in product development, different types of innovators and how to motivate creativity, and creating an innovative culture within an organization.
Bran Ferren is a designer and technologist who discusses the art of innovation. He explains that true innovation requires multiple breakthroughs or "miracles" to come together, using examples like the Pantheon and autonomous vehicles. Ferren emphasizes that leadership in innovation is as much an art as a science, and that companies need to cultivate creativity by attracting diverse thinkers and massaging their ideas into valuable outputs for customers.
When the economy?s in free fall, the strongest competitors are the ones rooted in innovation. Today, managers are screaming for innovators who can break through to the next level of business and technology.
Structuring Serendipitous Collaboration - Nick Inglis keynote @ ARMA Canada 2021Nick Inglis
Get comfortable being uncomfortable and drive yourself and your organization forward by structuring serendipitous collaboration. This was a keynote by Nick Inglis at ARMA Canada Information Conference 2021.
The Industrial Design Center at Howest University College is a knowledge center that connects industry with education programs in industrial product design and industrial design engineering. It has expertise in areas like prototyping, lighting technology, design methodology, sustainable design, and user-centered design. The center provides its advanced equipment and facilities to external users, organizes training, and assists companies with multi-disciplinary projects through student work, internships, and research collaborations. The synergy between industry and education leads to practical applications of academic research and services for companies and non-profits.
As innovators, we are expected to bring creativity to the table. Yet how many of us actually understand how creativity happens and what it needs to thrive? Furthermore, how many of us know how to unlock the creative potential in others? Learn three unexpected truths about creativity that will change the way you relate to this natural resource.
Entrepreneurship for all manuel forjaz 2011Manuel Forjaz
This document provides an overview of an entrepreneurship presentation. It includes the following key points:
1. The presentation aims to provide a foundational understanding of entrepreneurship concepts, build on ideas from other classes, and help students apply knowledge to diagnose challenges and organize innovative projects.
2. An introduction previews the topics to be covered, including generating and evaluating ideas, business planning, marketing, finance, growth strategies, and managing entrepreneurship in corporations.
3. Readings and resources are recommended on subjects like the generation and selection of ideas, case studies of successful entrepreneurs, and trends shaping the future that could provide business opportunities.
4. Key concepts discussed include that everyone has the capacity for ideas,
This is about creativity management, need for more innovation in business and the web2.0 incorporating much of innovative concepts. much more information and webinks in the slide notes when downloaded
The document contains discussion questions about creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship and the creative process. It asks the reader to explain the differences between key concepts like creativity and innovation. It also asks the reader to summarize the 10 barriers to creativity and the 7 steps in the creative process. Finally, it provides techniques to improve creativity like brainstorming, mind mapping and rapid prototyping.
Innovation and creativity 05 innovative peopleKamal AL MASRI
This document discusses characteristics of innovative people and the skills they possess. It describes an "innovator's DNA" model which consists of 4 behavioral skills - questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting - that help develop the cognitive skill of associational thinking which is key to generating innovative ideas. Innovators engage in these skills more frequently than others because they have the courage to challenge the status quo and take risks to create change. Their passion for improving lives drives their innovation.
Creative development in children involves opening their minds to different perspectives through dialogue and practice with no set goals or targets. It allows children's creativity and genius to evolve naturally. Creative development is important for children's learning as it fosters understanding of the world, communication skills, physical development, and literacy and math skills. When creative development is encouraged across all areas of learning, it can help make subjects like literacy and math more engaging for children.
This document discusses the importance of curiosity in fueling creativity and innovation. It contains 3 main points:
1. Curiosity is the root of creativity, and maintaining curiosity keeps leading people down new paths of exploration and discovery. Staying curious requires an openness to new ideas and experiences.
2. Connecting different experiences and ideas is how truly creative people develop new combinations and solutions. Creativity comes from making connections between old elements in new ways.
3. Failure is an inevitable and necessary part of innovation. An environment that encourages risk-taking and learning from mistakes allows people to do new things where failure is possible but not feared. This kind of culture is more conducive to breakthrough

There is growing recognition that fostering
a culture of innovation is critical to success,
as important as mapping out competitive
strategies or maintaining good margins. A
recent Boston Consulting Group sur-
vey covering nearly 50 countries and all
sorts of businesses reported that nine out of
ten senior executives believe generating
growth through innovation is essential for
success in their industry. Having optimized
operations and finances, many companies
are now recognizing that growth through
innovation is their best strategy to compete
in a world marketplace in which some of
the players may have lower-cost resources.
Whether you sell consumer electronics or
financial services, the frequency with
which you must innovate and replenish
your offerings is rapidly increasing.
The ten innovation personas described
here are not necessarily the most powerful
people you will ever meet; they don’t have
to be, because each persona brings its own
tools, its own skills, its own point of view. In
a post-disciplinary world where the old
descriptors can be constraining, these new
roles can empower a new generation of inno-
vators. They give individuals permission to
make their own unique contribution to the
social ecology and performance of the team.
Make sure these ten personas have a
place in your organization. Together you
can do extraordinary things.
The Learning Personas
The first three personas are driven by
the idea that no matter how successful a
company currently is, no one can afford to
be complacent.
1. The Anthropologist brings new learning
and insights into the organization by
observing human behaviour and developing
a deep understanding of how people inter-
act physically and emotionally with
products, services, and spaces. Anthropolo-
gists practice the Zen principle of
‘beginner’s mind’. Even with extensive
educational backgrounds and lots of expe-
rience in the field, these people seem
unusually willing to set aside what they
‘know’, looking past tradition and even
their own preconceived notions.
If you want fresh and insightful obser-
vations, you have to be innovative about
where and how you collect those observa-
tions. For instance, let’s say you want to
gain insight into improving a patient’s expe-
rience in a busy hospital. Ask the doctors or
nurses? Talk to lots of patients? Circulate a
thoughtfully prepared survey? All of these
approaches sound reasonable, but IDEO’s

The document discusses fostering creativity in various contexts. It explores definitions of creativity, theories of creativity, and how creativity can be developed at the individual, team, and organizational levels. It also examines the creative industries and clusters that have emerged. Throughout, it poses questions about measuring, developing, and supporting creativity.
What lessons can we learn from the people that are at the forefront of the creative revolution? What lessons can be gleamed from the cutting edge of modern day innovation? and how can we harness these lessons to improve our own companies, brands, advertising and marketing?
The Sound attended this years Fast Company: Innovation Uncensored event looking to find the answers to questions just like these. We heard from visionary speakers, creative masterminds and Fortune 500 CEO's. They spoke and we listened.
We got inside PepsiCo's playbook, heard about the new customer experience and learnt the secrets to building a cult brand. We heard about how to lead a creative company, why innovation is everything and how crowd funding will continue to disrupt well established industries - better yet, we synthesized the learnings and implications to share with you all.
Here they are, 10 carefully crafted lessons we think will benefit companies and professionals in any industry.
Innovation isn’t about a genius working in isolation. Good ideas are formed from a series of previously unconnected connections. So how do you increase your chances of making those connections to improve your fundraising?

Session Length: 1 Hour
We live in a time when change happens at lightning speed, all around us. The only way for companies to be competitive is to innovate, not only with respect to their product offering, but also with respect to their marketing and to their work processes. Moreover, all organizations need innovation in order to stay ahead in the game. Non-profit organizations need to bring innovation in their processes to attract more donors; schools need to innovate with respect to the teaching methods, as well as with respect to the programs they offer, for instance to take advantage of the latest technologies available, or to engage the students more in the learning process.
In this presentation we will focus on innovation and on its two good companions, creativity and invention. We will talk about the differences between the three, while also showing the intrinsic connection between them. Giving real-life examples, we will talk about different types on innovation. We recognize that innovativeness is an elusive trait, that one cannot predict how innovative somebody will be in his or her position. Nevertheless, there are certain things that organizations can do to allow for and to stimulate the innovativeness of their employees/members. We will talk about processes that organizations can use in order to inspire and foster innovation.
Moonshot Thinking. How to disrupt your industry and beat the competition. Inspired by Google X and Peter Diamandis.
Moonshot thinking is shooting for the moon. Moonshots live in the gray area between audacious projects and pure science fiction; they are 10X improvement, not 10%.
As a part of the https://Startup.Vegas community, this is the first ReadUp where we read and discuss a startup related book!
This month we read The Mom Test! (https://amzn.to/3SxANLv) The Mom Test is a must-read book for every entrepreneur trying to find their product market fit. Without the tools and resources from The Mom Test, you will likely end up with bad data that has you wasting money where you shouldn't. Don't be a fool. Read this book first!
As part of our Startup Vegas community, we do a monthly founder book club where we read a startup related book. September 2022 we read Traction (https://amzn.to/3rbKh3N). There is a TON of great information for a new startup founder to take away from this book, highly recommend giving it a read.

Protecting Kids in the Digital Age 2022Kenny Eliason
I was asked to teach a quick lesson (one hour) on protecting kids in the digital age. It's such a complex process that hopefully this gives some direction. The science experiment was done on the millennials and even generation Z... tech can be really bad for us if not used correctly. But now we have the knowledge and ability to use it to our advantage and make all of us SUPERHUMAN!
As a part of the https://Startup.Vegas community, this is the first ReadUp where we read and discuss a startup related book!
This month we read Hooked by Nir Eyal. A book about harnessing the power of habit-forming products. Hooked is a quick read packed with a ton of great information.
From a CEO and a Product Designer's perspective, knowing the "Hooked Model" as laid out in the book is going to change the way we create our business.
Standards Night 2022 - Entertainment and MediaKenny Eliason
This document discusses how technologies are designed to take as much of our attention as possible and offers tips on how to become masters of our technology rather than letting it master us. It suggests turning off notifications, auto-play, and using focus modes on devices. It also provides a list of 13 alternative areas to focus our attention, such as volunteering, learning new things, spending time with family, and seeking quiet time.
This document provides instructions for completing a final assignment on innovation and teams. It lists 4 questions to be answered by next Friday at 1:00pm about the ten faces of innovation, the value of different personalities in a group, how to harness diversity in future work, and whether an innovation idea will fail or succeed including potential pivots.
The document discusses the importance of collaboration. It describes the Collaborator persona who values the team over individuals, acts as a coach rather than boss, and helps team members grow into new roles. This persona facilitates collaboration by bringing unlikely partners together, cross-training team members, getting people out of their offices, and using a soccer model where people pass responsibilities to one another.
BGES 202 - The Set Designer, The Storyteller, Innovation Tournament 2021-04-09Kenny Eliason
The document discusses two personas - the set designer and the storyteller. The set designer focuses on improving work settings and making adjustments for privacy and collaboration needs. The storyteller sparks action, transmits values, fosters collaboration, and relates to help lead people into the future. Storytelling is discussed as an important tool for teams, as it builds credibility, unleashes emotions to help teams bond, and gives permission to explore topics while also swaying viewpoints and creating heroes through vocabulary changes. Teams are asked to provide a rough draft story for their innovation tournament idea.
BGES 202 - Innovation Tournament Rubric, The Director, The Experience Archite...Kenny Eliason
This document outlines the rules and scoring rubric for an innovation tournament. Teams are tasked with developing a new product idea or improving an existing product. They must research the idea, develop a prototype if possible, and present their pitch. The presentation will be evaluated on research, presentation quality, and idea innovation. A list of judges and teams participating in the tournament is provided. The document also provides examples of past product ideas and tips for effective brainstorming and developing personas to inspire innovation.
This document announces a team project presentation and innovation tournament that will take place on April 30th. Teams of 3 students will develop an innovative product or service idea and present it. Presentations will be 5 minutes with 5 minutes of Q&A from judges and other students. The goal is for teams to further develop their ideas over the summer and potentially start building a business around the winning concepts in the fall.
BGES 202 - Spring 2021 Introduction 2021-01-29Kenny Eliason
This document discusses innovation and teams. It defines innovation as creating uniqueness and value, which results from taking an invention and making it better through commercialization. Teams of 2-3 students will work on innovation projects during class time on Fridays to create monetary value, then present their work and collaboration process. The goals are to explore what innovation is, why people innovate, and how teams can innovate together.
BGES 202 - Working in Groups, The Personas, The Anthropologist 2021-02-05Kenny Eliason
The learning roles help keep your team from becoming too internally focused and remind the organization not to be so smug about what you “know”.
The organizing roles look at budgets and rules as a complex game of chess, and they play to win.
The building personas are often right in the heart of the action, taking what the learning and organizing roles provide, and then execute.
This document contains questions for a final assignment on innovation and teams. It asks the recipient to identify their natural strengths in innovation, how to develop other skills, key lessons for effective teams, and to analyze a proposed innovation idea with estimates of success and potential adjustments. The questions are due back next Friday at 1:00pm.
This document discusses two personas - the caregiver and the storyteller - and their importance for innovation teams. It provides examples of how caregivers can provide personalized service to customers. It also lists seven reasons why storytelling is effective, such as building credibility and bonding teams. The document encourages developing ideal customer profiles, fleshing out ideas, and crafting an "epiphany story" to clearly present innovations to others.
The document discusses different personas that contribute to innovation and teams. It describes the director persona, noting that directors build teams of self-leading people who need little direction. It then discusses the organizing personas who can navigate organizational processes to move things forward. Finally, it discusses the experience architect persona, who focuses on positive interactions and making ordinary experiences extraordinary.
The document discusses different personas that contribute to innovation and teams. It describes the learning personas like the anthropologist and experimenter who gather knowledge, as well as the organizing personas that help navigate processes. Additionally, it outlines cross-pollinators who make connections, hurdlers who solve problems, and collaborators who value the team.
This document discusses the roles of anthropologists and experimenters in innovation teams. Anthropologists are described as socialites who look for inspiration in unusual places and are good at reframing problems. Experimenters are risk-takers who enjoy collaboration and focus on efficiency. The document then discusses how anthropology, the study of human societies and cultures, relates to innovation through examples like Milgram's experiment on obedience and barriers to innovation. It provides tips for gaining customer insights, such as observing customers without judgment and repeating the process of ideating based on findings.
The document discusses problems with traditional brainstorming such as idea blocking, fear, conformity and exhaustion. It then introduces brainwriting as an alternative approach and discusses the benefits of generating a high quantity of ideas. It also describes a fun game used in teams to generate ideas using only words, limited words or just actions. Finally, it discusses prototyping, defining it as a partial implementation of a product that presents external interfaces, and asks the reader to consider why prototyping is useful before posing a question about generating money from sticky notes.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

6. INNOVATION AND TEAMS
The Experimenter may be the most classic role an innovator plays. Great inventors come to mind when we
think of experimenters, men like da Vinci and Thomas Edison. But when it comes to innovation,
Experimenters don't need to be geniuses. What Experimenters share is a passion for hard work, a curious
mind, and an openness to serendipity. Like Edison, they strive for inspiration but never shy away from
perspiration. We celebrate the Wright Brothers' success at Kitty Hawk, but we often overlook the fact that
they tested more than 200 wing shapes and risked their lives crashing seven different
fl
ying machines in
pursuit of a practical airplane. Few people stop to consider where the name for the ubiquitous spray
lubricant WD-40 came from, but it refers to the thirty-nine failed experiments in coming up with the perfect
water-displacement formula before the company
fi
nally achieved success. And British entrepreneur James
Dyson reports that he built 5,127 unsuccessful prototypes of his cyclone vacuum before he hit on the
design that made him a billionaire.
Experimenters love to play, to try different ideas and approaches. They put roller skates on the scienti
fi
c
method. They make sure everything's faster, less expensive, and hopefully more fun. Speed is an
Experimenter's best friend. Experimenters embrace little failures at the early stages to avoid big mistakes
later on. They work with teams of all shapes and sizes. They invite in colleagues, partners, customers,
investors, even kids to try out their works-in-process-all the possible stakeholders who might have insights
that could make the prototype better.

13. INNOVATION AND TEAMS
There's magic in cross-pollination-and in the people who make it happen.
Cross-pollinators can create something new and better through the unexpected juxtaposition of
seemingly unrelated ideas or concepts. They often innovate by discovering a clever solution in one
context or industry, then translating it successfully to another. For example, it was a Cross-Pollinator
who transplanted the idea of a piano keyboard from the musical world to create early manual
typewriters in the business world, which of course, evolved step by step into the electronic
keyboards we all use today. And reinforced concrete was originally created by a French gardener
trying to strengthen
fl
owerpots, but civil engineers wholeheartedly adopted it to create colossal
dams and highway systems, while architects extended the gardener's utilitarian concept to elegant
structures from Fallingwater to the Sydney Opera House. Computer pioneers got the idea for IBM
punch cards-and arguably even the digital computer itself-from a punch-card system for weaving
complex fabric patterns on a silk loom. The concept of an escalator began life as a primitive Coney
Island amusement ride that has since grown into a billion-dollar industry. And most Frisbee players
don't know that the basic shape and even the name of that ubiquitous
fl
ying toy was adapted from
the Frisbie Baking Company's metal pie tins, tossed by Ivy League college students a century ago.

17. INNOVATION AND TEAMS
Cross-Pollinators retain the childlike ability to see patterns others don't,
and to spot key differences. But they've also honed the very adult skill of
applying those subtle differences in new contexts. They often think in
metaphors, enabling them to see relationships and connections that
others miss. They act as matchmakers, creating unusual combinations
that often spark innovative hybrids. Cross-Pollinators frequently
approach problems from unusual angles. They sometimes make a
practice of "doing without” - tackling a problem by considering solutions
without some key element popularly considered standard or essential.
