Leuphana Conference on Entrepreneurship 2015Norris Krueger
Great newer conference that focuses on creativity & innovation at Leuphana University in Luneberg! Silke Tegtmeier and her team has done a great job again thus year:
http://www.leuphana.de/zentren/rce/konferenz.html
My keynote on the entrepreneurial mindset: We talk about it all the time but never really define it :) So... how do we better understand it? Define it? Measure it? Change it? Ping me if you want to join the discussion! (And ACTION!)
This document summarizes techniques for increasing creativity at the individual and group level. It discusses the creative process in five stages: preparation, investigation and transformation, incubation, illumination, and verification and implementation. Barriers to creativity at the individual level include fear of mistakes and believing you are not creative. Brainstorming, mind mapping, and semantic intuition are presented as techniques to enhance group creativity, while alternating individual and group work may also help increase creative output. Factors like diversity, psychological safety, and competition can influence creative performance in groups.
CEOs have identified that creative thinking is the number one leadership quality needed for the future. More innovative practices and processes will enable leaders and teams to deal with the impact of rapid change.
The Strategies for Innovative Development (SID) model provides a clear path for mapping and implementing innovative growth and for working through specific challenges and opportunities – from ideation to implementation.
We are proud to announce our fifteenth Innovation Excellence Weekly for Slideshare. Inside you'll find ten of the best innovation-related articles from the past week on Innovation Excellence - the world's most popular innovation web site and home to 5,000+ innovation-related articles.
Thinking entrepreneurially both internally and externally (dhcd, 12 6-17)Marty Kaszubowski
1. Innovation and entrepreneurship can happen anywhere and by anyone, but thriving requires an active community outside of where the work is done.
2. Culture is more important than strategy, as a collaborative, non-zero-sum culture that values learning from mistakes will better support innovation.
3. While funding is important, building and maintaining a community is key, as communities provide access to talent, advice, capital and networks that entrepreneurs need to succeed. Thriving communities also facilitate "managed serendipity".
This document discusses fostering innovation in organizations. It argues that culture, systems and processes, and talent are the key ingredients for innovation. Culture provides purpose and vision, systems and processes provide rules and incentives, and talent provides creativity. It also provides suggestions for both long term and short term actions organizations can take to promote innovation, including identifying innovation architects, inspiring employees, enabling free thinking, providing non-pecuniary incentives, fostering networking, and providing innovative project tools.
The document provides an overview of various idea generation techniques:
- It describes brainstorming, both individually and in groups, as well as steps for effective group brainstorming. Additional techniques covered include triggered brainwalking, questioning assumptions, picture prompts, SCAMPER, observation, referencing, interaction, imagination, dreams, and creative aerobics.
- The goal of ideation is to generate the best solution to satisfy customer needs, rather than a large number of ideas. Effective techniques encourage lateral thinking and building on others' contributions to develop original, creative solutions.
Creativity can be described as discovering something novel that is also useful or valuable. There are different types of creativity such as primary, secondary, technical, inventive, innovative, and emergentive. The creative process typically involves preparation, incubation, insight, evaluation, and elaboration. Barriers to creativity include resistance to change, lack of initiative, and resource constraints. New ideas can come from basic research, production workers, salespeople, management, and external sources like magazines or competitors. Techniques for creative problem solving include brainstorming, heuristics, synectics, and value analysis. Entrepreneurs play an important role in innovation by analyzing opportunities, mobilizing resources, and exploiting changes.
The document discusses innovation and creativity. It defines innovation as taking new ideas to customers by converting new knowledge into new products and services. It also lists some characteristics of creative individuals and organizational hurdles to creativity. Some principles of innovation discussed include giving ideas a hearing, involving originators in developing their ideas, and addressing both technical and marketing issues. The innovation process is depicted as a series of funnels where many ideas are narrowed down to few innovations.

The document discusses various methods for evaluating innovations using lean principles. It describes lean evaluation as providing valuable feedback without extensive data gathering and analysis. Some key evaluation methods discussed include innovation accounting, which tracks metrics like user engagement and assumption testing. Other methods covered are scored SWOT analysis, evaluation matrices, and the business model canvas. The document emphasizes using a mixture of input metrics, like money spent, and output metrics, like revenue from new products. It advises starting with a handful of relevant metrics and sticking with them over time to assess innovation trends. Pivoting versus persevering with an innovation is also addressed.
Lean Innovation for Micro Enterprises Module 7 Lean Innovation ProcessesBanbridgeDistrictEnt
The document discusses various lean innovation processes that businesses can use to improve efficiency and meet changing customer needs. It describes approaches like Lean Six Sigma, DMAIC, PDCA cycles, 5S, and business process reengineering.

using new ideas and transforming them into
new products, then creativity should be
understood as the source of new (innovative)

In 2010, IBM conducted a survey of
more than 1500 CEOs of various
organisations around the world, about
which competences, in their opinion,
were the most important for leaders in
an organisation.
It turned out that among answers such

management or creating an inspiring
vision, creativity was the most crucial
factor to navigate an increasingly

In times of constantly growing
complexity in business, creativity allows
for effective management of the
organization, thanks to the ability to
create new solutions that:
- challenge the status quo
- take a balanced risk when creating
and implementing innovative solutions
- engage employees to create
innovations
This leads to the generation of ideas for
new solutions, products, services or
changes in the business model of the

Why can a culture supporting
employee creativity have such a big
impact on employee satisfaction and
commitment?
Mostly because people naturally want to be successful at
work, have a sense of influence over what is happening
around them, and create something in their work
This is especially visible in the case of young employees
currently entering the labour market, for whom the main
value at work is the possibility of self-realisation and
creating something new and which is their own
It is this phenomenon that harnesses the culture of creativity
in the organisation to the benefit of the company

Source: https://theheart.tech/inspirations/5-ways-to-develop-team-creativity
First of all, you should focus on team creativity
The team is two or more individuals, interacting and interdependent, with whom you are
going to work in order to achieve a goal
Tapping into creativity is the key that keeps your team competitive and young, no matter
the age, in a market that is a constant battlefield fighting to stay relevant
Here are some suggestions to make your team more creative:
Understand that
everyone has
creativity Remember that
everyone wants to
use their creativity
Engage Your
Hands
Play and
make fun
Give space for
creativity
Understanding that creativity rests
inside of every person, allows you
as a leader to see not only yourself,
but also your team, as an incredible
source of creative potential.
As a leader, look for, and
encourage, opportunities for
your team
Instead of just thinking about the
solution, get some LEGO bricks
and build the solution (for example
build your perfect client)
If you want to develop team
creativity, make sure that you give
them the margin and space in their
lives to think and act creatively
It is when our minds are free to
experiment, free to learn, free to
enjoy and laugh, that some of our
best ideas and insights come

Ways of rewarding employees for creative work:

Meet The Walt Disney Creative Strategy
Source: https://www.designorate.com/disneys-creative-strategy/
https://t2informatik.de/en/smartpedia/walt-disney-method/
Disney’s Creative Strategy is a tool for creative thinking and
was inspired by Walt Disney
Every enterprise can use this strategy to stimulate creativity
In this method, a group of people use a specific parallel
thinking flow to generate, evaluate, and critique ideas, and
hence solve problems
The strategy is based on three main streams:
• What could be wrong with the idea?
• What is missing?
• Why can we not apply it?
• What are the weaknesses in the plan?
Each stream
asks
specific
questions
1. Dreamers
2. Realists
3. Critics
• What do we want?
• What is the solution?
• How do we imagine the solution?
• What are the benefits of applying this solution?
• How can we apply this idea in reality?
• What is the action plan to apply the idea?
• What is the timeline to apply this idea?
• How do we evaluate the idea?
17. Brainstorming is a common
and effective creativity tool
1 7
Source: P. Dawson, C. Andriopoulos, Managing Change, Creativity and Innovation
Rules of brainstorming:
1. High quantity of ideas leads to quality
(the more ideas the better)
2. Criticism should be abolished
(participants are not allowed to express
any judgement)
3. The wilder idea, the better (regardless
of how unrealistic an idea may seem)
4. Build solutions on other people’s ideas
5. Managers, CEOs are not allowed in the
room where brainstorming is being
conducted
Brainstorming is an enabling
technique for finding a
solution to a specific problem
by gathering a list of ideas
spontaneously contributed by
individuals
The most popular
mechanism to generate
these creative ideas is the
brainstorming session

Suzy Mahony Award Winning Milliner – case study
Source: https://suziemahonydesigns.com/
Suzie Mahony designs high quality headpieces and hats for all occasions
In early Spring/Summer 2020 in Ireland, a country wide lock down was enforced to
help stop the spread of Covid19
With no special occasions, race meetings or weddings for people to go to, Suzie’s
business virtually disappeared over night
So she repurposed her seamstress and sowing skills to start handcrafting unique
and fashionable cotton face coverings and started selling them on her website
Suzie completely changed her product focus from
award winning millinery to the production of PPE
Her move to the production of PPE is a great example
of a lean innovation since Suzie already had all the
skills and equipment she needed to make these new
products
