Creativity and Innovation: Week 55

FORMING INNOV-8 (Innovation) TEAM

Learn
Kadish R.T (2002) states that, the surest ways to get a job done more innovatively is simply to reorganize frequently. When you put people into a new structure, it stimulates them to rethink what they’re doing on a day to day basis. In addition, Johnston and Bate (2003) states that identifying innovative business opportunities requires new ways of looking at customers and the marketplace. A team of people with diverse perspectives is more likely to see the world differently than a lone pioneer.

Unlearn
In stimulating creativity and innovation, it may not necessary comes from sales or marketing department. A more diverse background would ensure the team in coming up with creative and innovative solutions.

Relearn
Thus the inclusion of 8 personnel from 8 different departments would increase the chances of coming up with innovative solutions to problems. I believe the INNOV-8 team drawn from diverse backgrounds could bring diverse skills and knowledge to projects, offering many creative solutions to problems because they could approach such problems with different perspectives.
