Messy Innovation

Innovation is messy; sometimes you have to get your hands dirty if you want to move forward and make changes

We believe that staying in your comfort zone won’t solve your problems for you.

Innovation can be complex or simple.  Simple is IDEAS x RISK = INNOVATION

Change is most possible when we stay simple and make it easy.

Keeping it simple means focusing on these 2 behaviours. 

1.Idea generation &

2.Taking risks with those ideas.

It is fascinating to watch the process an individual and group need to go through to be innovative.  

Step one will I share my idea; can I get over all those barriers which hold me in safety rather than sharing?

The next most fascinating behaviour is how the group have social norms and those social norms generally start by analysing the idea and why it would not work rather than taking the step further to see the possibility.

Messy means we let ideas go further, get messy and see the potential.

“Our ability to come up with new ideas are learned in education through play rather than narrowly focused training”

Ross Dawson

“Perhaps Imagination is only Intelligence having fun”

There are many benefits to be gained by businesses wanting to build their team moral, generate new ideas, and discover innovative creative thinking.

In this growing automated, computer driven world, we start to rely more on our creativity to move our businesses forward. Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty, to delve into things to really come up with something new. We need to be creative thinkers in order to affect change and growth

Using messy mediums opens minds, brings confidence, courage, risk taking and helps to knock down barriers holding people back from their true creative potential. There is no right or wrong way, you are free to dive in, have some fun and get all your senses working which stimulates your whole brain to come up with new ideas.

“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them”

Albert Einstein
