I created the episode because I keep hearing about another revolutionary idea from innovation directors. <br /><br />However, typically, these ambitious projects never kick off.<br /><br />It is a complex problem for many reasons.<br /><br />In this episode, you'll learn:<br /><ul><li>how to approach innovation as a structured process, instead of a one-off epiphany</li><li>methodologies/frameworks that can guide you through the process (TRIZ, Design Thinking, Lean Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints)</li><li>diagrams and mapping tools (Value Stream Mapping, SIPOC, BPMN, Event Storming)</li><li>typical cognitive bias impeding your ability to spot the areas for innovation (pattern-recognition, intentional blindness "gorilla effect", our mental models and assumptions).</li><li>how to be more attentive and collaborative in the process of creating innovation</li></ul>I hope this episode will be helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.<br /><br />Let's chat: https://pl.linkedin.com/in/daiji-daniel-kimura<br />
