Dr. Daake gave a talk on creating and growing a culture of innovation. He discussed how innovation is increasing exponentially and highlighted local examples. He defined five imperatives for fostering innovation culture: 1) Build a culture that supports open-minded critical and creative thinking. 2) Accept a wide variety of innovations, including incremental improvements. 3) Create a culture with both cohesiveness and constructive conflict. 4) Encourage risk-taking and learning from failures. 5) Develop processes that promote cross-pollination of ideas.
This document summarizes key insights and themes from the 2017 South by Southwest (SXSW) conference. The following were emphasized:
- Collaboration is needed across industries and organizations to solve major problems like curing cancer. Siloed approaches will not work.
- Cultural change is difficult but necessary, and a focus on problems can help ease the process. Context matters in solutions.
- Inspiring talks from figures like Joe Biden and reminders of science's importance from Bill Nye the Science Guy were highlights.
- The presentation on integrating design thinking into the lean startup process advocated for a hybrid team approach, borrowing from each other's toolkits, allowing for divergence, and not confusing empathy with experiment
The document discusses India undergoing a major transformation through demonetization. It notes how demonetization aims to remove money linked to terrorists and the corrupt black market economy, and neutralize illegally stored money. The editor writes that while some may support or oppose it, demonetization marks the threshold of transformation for India, and people must consider how they are coping with changes and what lessons can be learned for personal growth.
Duke Speer provides 10 tips for presenting and owning a room at the OpenWest 2017 conference. The tips include leading with an emotional connection by finding common ground with the audience, making the presentation about the audience not the presenter, using stories and personal anecdotes to connect emotionally, maintaining eye contact and physical presence, using stage positioning to target different parts of the brain, focusing presentations through composition and contrast, practicing for perfection, having a big idea to present, and ending strongly by delivering on promises made. The document outlines each tip in more detail and encourages audience interaction and feedback.
Five Things You Can Do Right Now To Make Your Research Presentations Just A L...Scott St. George
The ability to deliver effective and engaging oral presentations is a critical skill for all researchers.

1. The document discusses the difference between creativity and innovation, with creativity referring to generating new ideas and innovation referring to implementing those ideas.
2. While creativity is a necessary starting point, innovation involves acting on creative ideas to make tangible differences. You cannot have one without the other as innovation branches off further creative thinking and implementation.
3. The document examines experiences with creativity and innovation in business and concludes that while some people are naturally creative, creativity can also be developed through practice, continuous learning, and nurturing intrinsic motivation. Developing new thinking skills helps reach more innovative solutions.

This document is a poem reflecting on the author's experience with medical meetings over decades. It discusses:
1) Advice the author received early in their career to avoid meetings, as nothing important happens. The author ignored this advice.
2) Over time, the author enjoyed meetings more for social aspects of seeing colleagues, though work was also accomplished.
3) As the author's field changed to regenerative medicine, meetings took on renewed importance for learning and progress in the field to benefit patients. The author now sees meetings as crucial, rather than just social events.
This is part one of a seven-part training series designed to turn intermediate-level PPT users into "Presentation Specialists".
Much of this material is a SUMMARY (not original) of existing knowledge that has been so generously offered by PowerPoint thought and design leaders.

- Complete an associate's degree in nursing at a community college. This provides an easier and more affordable entry point compared to a bachelor's program.
- Earn a bachelor's degree in nursing by transferring credits from the associate's program.
- For some, continue education by obtaining a master's degree, which allows one to become a nurse practitioner and provide higher levels of care.
- Develop strong communication, empathy, and ability to provide patient-centered care through clinical experience gained over many years of practice. Becoming a nurse is a long-term commitment that takes dedication to complete all educational requirements.

This document summarizes a presentation about effective environmental communications. It discusses how experts often overestimate the public's understanding of technical terms and confidence in learning them. It also notes that while water issues are a high priority, media consumption habits are changing. The presentation introduces the "Water Words That Work" method, which involves identifying technical terms, encouraging positive action, and replacing jargon with plain language to help the public understand issues and feel empowered to take action.
This document summarizes a presentation on effective environmental communications. It discusses challenges like confusing terminology and information diffusion. It then introduces the "Water Words That Work Method" which is a 4-step process to translate expert information into clear, compelling language for non-experts. The steps are to identify common terms, answer common questions, insert effective words, and avoid common pitfalls. The goal is to give people confidence to understand issues and take meaningful actions.
Complexity, Collaboration and UnconferencingGeoff Brown
Geoff Brown discusses focusing on solutions rather than problems to enable change. He advocates using new approaches like "unconferencing" conferences to invite collaborative content and value non-experts. Understanding complexity is also important, as is recognizing that human behavior is complexly influenced by social networks. Solutions should be the focus through approaches like appreciative inquiry and positive psychology.

The Alexander Discipline- Volume 1.pdfssuser76852a
This document provides an overview of "The 20 Principles of the Alexander Discipline" written by R.G. 'Wick' Alexander. It begins with a dedication to those who have influenced the author's life and career. It then provides a preface explaining the need for a new book to expand upon the original work and provide an evidence-based approach. An acknowledgments section recognizes the author's staff for their hard work in helping create the book. The book will outline 20 principles of the Alexander Discipline technique for orthodontic treatment.
The document discusses various concepts related to open innovation including:
- Ideas are easily transferred, have value based on context, and are non-rivalrous. Open innovation connects to broader societal knowledge and creativity.
- Features of successful open innovation include open thinking about sources of ideas, easy contribution access, describing problems in discipline-neutral terms, and providing value through reciprocity.
- Starting an open innovation journey involves defining problems, publishing needs openly, and collaborating to provide solutions and value in return.
The document appears to contain a single year - 1972. In 3 sentences or less, this document is about a year and does not contain much additional context or information to summarize further.
1. The document discusses positive psychology, emotional intelligence, and appreciative inquiry which are approaches that focus on improving relationships, work, and communities through identifying strengths rather than weaknesses.
2. Appreciative inquiry in particular uses questioning to discover what works well in organizations in order to build upon strengths and drive positive change.
3. The approaches are backed by scientific evidence and align with concepts from religious texts like focusing on virtues, gratitude, and helping others. They have been successfully used by many large organizations to improve performance.

Truth Telling & Truth Suppression:Lies, Myths. and RealitiesDr. Don Daake, Ph.D.
In companies and organizations the truth, frequently is not heard. Perhaps one of the most under-recognized reasons is that most people cannot afford to risk their jobs. Opportunities are missed and disasters may occur because the truth is never heard. Several hypotheses for future testing are advanced.
This document provides an overview of positive psychology and how its concepts relate to wisdom literature like the Book of Proverbs. It discusses how positive psychology emerged from a focus in psychology on dysfunction to also study ordinary human flourishing. Many of the virtues and themes studied in positive psychology, like gratitude, kindness and cheerfulness, are also found in Proverbs and other biblical texts. While positive psychology takes a largely secular approach, the document argues its concepts and research could be integrated with religious faith and benefit believers. It provides examples of how the author has begun writing about positive psychology concepts from a spiritual perspective.
This document summarizes a presentation about writing a business column for a local newspaper. It discusses how the presenter, Dr. Don Daake, began writing an occasional article for the Kankakee Daily Journal's business magazine in 2005.

This document reports on a study exploring the link between economic knowledge and informed voters. It discusses presenting results from an economics knowledge survey given to students at three universities. The survey included knowledge-based, opinion-based, and demographic questions. Key results found students had an average score of 9.26/18 on knowledge questions, with business students scoring higher. The study implies more economics education is needed for students to be informed voters but larger samples are needed. It suggests economics should be integrated into more courses and a core requirement. The implications are Christian universities should ensure students understand economics basics to engage as citizens.

This document reports on a study exploring the link between economic knowledge and informed voters. It discusses presenting results from an original economics knowledge survey given to students at three universities. The survey included knowledge-based, opinion-based, and demographic questions to assess students' understanding of core economic principles. Key results found students had an average understanding but large gaps remained. Having economics courses did not significantly impact scores. The implications are that more needs to be done to integrate economics across disciplines to make students more informed voters able to critically evaluate policies from an economic perspective.

look at the "coming century."
In a story, the Genius asked “Isn't there a clerk who can examine patents?" A
boy replied "Quite unnecessary, Sir. Everything that can be invented has
been invented."
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
5. WHAT DUELL ACTUALLY SAID WAS THIS…
"In my opinion, all previous advances in the various lines of invention will
appear totally insignificant when compared with those which the present
century will witness.
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
6. THE REALITY….
Indeed the rate of innovation and inventions is increasing
at an exponential rate.
2015 589,410 applications- 325,979 granted 52% foreign origination.
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
7. WE LIVE IN A WORLD DRIVEN BY INNOVATION
The 20th and 21st Centuries happening at an exponential rate
Travel to any place on the face of the globe within 24 hours
Talk to virtually anyone on the face of the globe
Put 1.7 billion transistors on a chip the size of your fingernail
Online banking and online everything
Materials revolution e.g. Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
8. A WORLD DRIVE BY INNOVATION-MANY LOCAL
EXAMPLES
Open heart surgery and organ transplants
Miracle drugs
Online banking
Hybrid seeds and other innovation in agriculture
Medical diagnostics
Artificial intelligence- both invigorating and concerning
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
9. CAN WE ALL AGREE? WE LIVE IN A STUNNING WORLD OF
PROGRESS, INNOVATION & CHANGE
Depending on your generational background:
It is swell
Can you dig it?
It’s Groovy and Right on
Cool
Most Excellent
Even Tremendous & Huge
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
10. BUT AN IMPORTANT CAVEAT:
Many of the significant innovations are made in small daily improvements
that we all can engage in!
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
11. NOW FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES MINUTES…..
Indulge the professor (Emeritus--but De-commissioned) to
come out of me- we need to define a few terms.
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
12. BRIEFLY..
I have some “splaining” to do…
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
13. WE LOVE LISTS & SIMPLE ANSWERS TO OUR ISSUES!!
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
14. BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE DEFINITIVE LIST
OF THE 5,7,25, OR 107 IMPERATIVES GOOD LUCK!
Be wary of any author, consultant, and especially professors who writes an
article or book with:
“Just do my list and your problems will be solved”
It is Hooey, Balderdash and Non-Sense*
*(See Pfeiffer and Sutton of Stanford Business School “Management Half-Truths and Nonsense: How to Practice
Evidence-Based Management” CMR Spring 2006.)
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
15. IMPORTANCE OF CONTINGENCY “THEORY”
What to do or what to practice…It all depends..
PERSPECTIVE: Based your Industry, products, people, history, size, business
cycle, and on and on
There is GOOD NEWS & BAD NEWS
BAD NEWS – there is no one solution that fits everyone
GOOD NEWS- you get to “make it up” as you go based on your situation &
EVIDENCE!
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
16. MY GOAL FOR YOU…
Each of you take just ONE IDEA with you and use it this next week, month, or
year.
In the end, if you are looking for the MAGICAL INNOVATION FORMULA--I refer
you to the eminent Professor Dr. Karl Weick from the University of Michigan
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
17. DR. KARL E. WEICK
IN STUDYING HUMAN BEHAVIOR CONCLUDES…
“Some do, Some don’t, and the Differences
aren’t that great.”
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
18. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO INNOVATION THE
DIFFERENCES CAN BE GREAT
Regarding innovation “Some do- they grow
and prosper”
“Some don’t- they decline and fade away”
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
19. ORGANIZATION CULTURE IS A DRIVING FORCE IN
FOSTERING INNOVATION AT ANY LEVEL
“Corporate culture refers to the shared values, attitudes, standards, and
beliefs that characterize members of an organization and define its nature.
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
20. INNOVATION, CHANGE & THE CULTURE NEXUS
INNOVATION involves a Process of Creative Destruction..
Joseph Schumpeter (1942)
While innovation does involve change…
It must build on the past/ not destroy or forget it…..

21. INNOVATION & PROGRESS
DOESN’T JUST HAPPEN BY CHANCE!
It has to be supported by leadership and more
importantly by the proper CULTURE

Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
26. THE REALITY: INNOVATE, FADE, OR MAYBE EVEN DIE
The GREATin their day are no more!
APATHY and FAILURE to innovate based on a stagnant, arrogant, and even smug culture-
leads to NON-CREATIVE Destruction
Do you remember when?

27. PART II
Five “considerations” on Creating and Growing
a Culture of Innovation
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
28. Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
29. # 1 BUILDING A CULTURE THAT SUPPORTS INNOVATION:
CULTURE MUST SUPPORT THE OPENING UP OF THE MIND
CRITICAL THINKING & EVIDENCE-BASED DECISION MAKING IMPORTANT!
Good for existing strategies BUT ...can inhibit future-oriented breakthroughs
Robert Harris’ wonderful list in “Introduction to Creative Thinking” at
Virtualsalt.com
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
30. # 1 CULTURE MUST SUPPORT OPENING UP OF THE MIND
CRITICAL THINKING CREATIVE THINKING
ANALYTIC GENERATIVE
CONVERGENT DIVERGENT
PROBABILITY POSSIBILITY
JUDGMENT SUSPENDED JUDGMENT
OBJECTIVE SUBJECTIVE
VERBAL VISUAL
(The) ANSWER AN ANSWER
REASONING RICHNESS, NOVELTY
YES, BUT YES AND
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
31. *THE VERY BEST LIST I HAVE FOUND ON THINKING
CREATIVELY IS:
http://www.virtualsalt.com/crebook2.htm
For example: Brainstorming
The Journalistic Six
Blocking & Busting
Improvements to….
What-iffing
Manipulative words
Reversal – e.g. Think of all the things you don’t want and then find a way to reverse these
to get what you do want.

32. Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
33. #2) CULTURAL IMPERATIVES TO FOSTER INNOVATION:
ACCEPT A WIDE VARIETY OF INNOVATIONS
Break-through innovations are relatively rare, but can change the world.
Many are incremental improvements or accidental improvements
Post-it notes--an “accident” & grown into a billion dollar “mistake”
“A "solution without a problem”
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
34. # 2 ACCEPT & REWARD A WIDE VARIETY OF INNOVATIONS
In Services- Delivering in new and better ways –Often Small but BIG IMPACT
on Customer
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
35. # 2 ACCEPT & REWARD A WIDE VARIETY OF
INNOVATIONS
Powerful Ideas including Branding, Slogans, Words

37. # 3 CREATING BOTH A CULTURE OF COHESIVENESS
AND YET CREATIVE CONFLICT
Many experts believe that strong cultures can be both helpful & detrimental to
innovation. Strong agreement, can stifle innovation and is even dangerous!
Unity vs. Groupthink
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
38. #3) CREATING A CULTURE OF COHESIVENESS AND YET
CREATIVE CONFLICT
Andy Grove of Intel “ferocious arguing with one another while remaining
friends and is critical to the creation of new knowledge.”
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
39. #3) CREATING A CULTURE OF COHESIVENESS AND YET
CREATIVE CONFLICT-
Meg Whitman of eBay “we have a ‘no penalty’ culture, meaning that there
is no penalty for being on the wrong side of an issue or changing your mind in
the face of better information.”
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
40. Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
41. # 4 EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION
UNDERSTAND IT IS A TOOL NOT THE FINAL ANSWER
We are awash in data, information, ideas, new products
Data analytics & Big Data is emerging- with both opportunities and threats
Growing powerful AI- artificial and YET……
Yet the interpersonal human element is more important than all
the tools, computer programs, new methods
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
42. # 4 EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION BUT UNDERSTAND
THEY ARE TOOLS NOT THE FINAL ANSWER
Necessary but not sufficient!
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
43. CULTURAL IMPERATIVE: WHETHER LARGE, MIDDLE, OR SMALL
BUSINESS- # 4 EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION BUT
UNDERSTAND THEY ARE TOOLS NOT THE FINAL ANSWER
For artists and small business people the use of social media and related
technologies can be used to launch a “worldwide” business

46. CULTURE IMPERATIVES TO FOSTER INNOVATION:
# 5 BE FLEXIBLE IN THE LEADERSHIP STYLE
Amazon offers 57,136 books with the word “leadership” in the title.
Do we need any more? Maybe, but the fact is Contingency Theory
really comes into play here!
Put aside ego and act as a coach in a COLLOABORATIVE process
OR BETTER YET JUST GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
47. # 5 BE FLEXIBLE
Hire some free-thinking people (But understand they
will not be easy to manage)
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
48. # 5 A GREAT DANGER IN RIGID/NON-REWARDING
CULTURES
The good and productive will give up and leave
The mediocre and unproductive will give up and stay
Dr. Don Daake April 13, 2017 The Kankakee Daily Journal Progress Dinner
49. # 5 FLEXIBLE IN LEADERSHIP STYLE: BECOME A
MULTIPLIER
Be a Multiplier rather than a Diminisher!
Everyone must be a leader when it comes to innovation.

55. EXTRA CREDIT IDEA…. WHEN BUILDING A CULTURE
THAT LEADS TO INNOVATION
One list suggests creating a culture that:https://www.fastcodesign.com/1672718/6-ways-to-create-a-
culture-of-innovation
Is innovation intentional (without being over constrained)
Creates a structure for unstructured time
Leaders step in and then step back out
Measure what is meaningful
Give “worthless” rewards –but ones that give attention
Use symbolic rewards and tangible rewards
