Innovation can be Trained
This document discusses five skills that can be trained to improve innovation: associating, questioning, observing, experimenting, and networking. Associating involves connecting ideas from different fields, questioning means asking questions to understand problems in new ways, observing is carefully watching the world to gain insights, experimenting is constantly learning through new experiences, and networking expands one's knowledge by meeting diverse people. Practicing these skills, such as asking more questions or meeting someone new each week, can help innovators change the status quo through smart risks.
