5. Innovation is no serendipity
And earth is not a disk
Every idea, ever created – was composed of past experiences

Innovation
Dream Team
Building

7. 1) Dream Teams Composition
The concept of the Neuro Ideation Method changed everything
Innovation teams have been mainly
experts such as Engineers, Biologists,
Physicists, Scientists...
Startups, sheer desperation levered all
their brains to perfect their concept.
Diversity became the ultimate success
factor for an innovation dream team.
In addition we are dependent on open
minded experience stakeholders –
customer insights.

8. 2) Seven Key Cognitive Abilities
Nothing really super special, but all or nothing
Curiosity
Fast responsiveness
Ingenuity (creativity)
Fearless
Social connectedness, open, sharing
Ability to communicate very well,
language skills, articulate
Highly determined
= Openness, Intelligent

9. 3) Leader / follower dynamic
It Is Amazing What a Team Can Accomplish If You Do Not Care Who Gets the Credit
Harry Truman
The best innovation teams are leaderless
Innovation Project Manager is a moderator
Eliminating followers – anonymizing ideas
Dominating bosses posing a threat to
ideation processes and its results
Weak members make others dominant
Consider a co-founder environment where
everybody has the same shares
The reward is not the credit for the best idea
but the final result
The initial value of an idea is zero

10. 4) Entrepreneurial Aspects & Features
Why would most NOT start their own business? Even though, some will try.
Entrepreneurs have to have a few more
traits that are not on the list of every
innovation team member:
High risk taker, independent, involving
Innovation team members may enjoy the
extra safety and still be amazingly
creative.
Innovation team members know their
value after they proved their “super
powers”
Innovation team members need to
understand the entire innovation life cycle

11. 5) Motivation & Rewards
Innovation is a long term, multi year game.
Truly entrepreneurial innovators are
almost as rare as founders.
Stock options are a huge incentive and
reward
Staged milestone based rewards is
another powerful incentive
Recognition is still one of the best
additional rewards.

12. 6) Best Working Environment
It’s not the wooden startup desk - not even the game tables
Innovative minds are seriously
frustrated with old and over
administrated processes
An inspiring environment is one that
inspires with experiences
Ingenuity, inspiration, openness,
motivation is something that grows
with a culture over time – not by be
“implemented”

13. 7) Innovation Culture
Respect – Respect – Respect
Diverse teams require the highest level
of respect for each other.
Understanding that we are very
differently wired – which add values
that many may not understand – and
even that we have to respect.
Silo building is not an organizational
failure – It’s a human tendency for
social bonding and differentiation.
Innovation teams must bond and
appreciate the difference – therefor
have the same cognitive abilities.

14. 8) Interview & Selection Process
Creative people want to be challenged not hired
Share your innovative spirit already in
the talent attraction, interview and
selection process
Keep in mind that you are trying to
attract a small team of extraordinary
people building the next billion $
business unit
Look that all have the top seven
cognitive abilities
Have a 60 second video call with the
CEO, introduce them to top
customers, give them access to secret
departments…
