I like goals, but goals don’t prompt action.

Sorting and assessing other people's ideas is time-consuming, frustrating and often a waste of time. Especially when you consider how few ideas submitted are focussed on business growth innovation.

But there's a better way to handle it. Hang around, and I'll show you how.

Like supermarket self-checkouts get you to do their work for them, you can get people to do work for you, by self-assess their ideas.

Meaning you get to go home on time, and only the best ideas come through. Oh, and there will be no more politics, resentment or a potential mutiny on your hands because it's all transparent.

Keep listening to find out how.

In this session, I want to share a critical business innovation growth skill that is hard to master but will pay off forever. It will help you avoid costly mistakes and take you into the upper echelon of innovation leadership.

From my 20 years of working in the business innovation industry, I’ve noticed that there is one common mistake that leaders make when it comes to business growth innovation. This mistake can cost people money, time, effort, reputation and even their job.

The mistake that leaders get wrong so often is:

1. Failing to capitalise on a critical emerging trend and having a scenario plan to deal with it

In this podcast, you will learn the futurist thinking skills that will make sure this mistake never happens. Instead, it will help you to future proof your business growth results at minimal risk.

Most people will tell you that you need an innovation structure, multiple procedures, company-wide training and an innovation team to run an effective innovation program.

They're WRONG! It's one of the reasons so many of these initiatives fail. People make them too complex, stifling business growth innovation rather than enabling it.

Today, I will show you the critical concepts you need to run a business growth innovation program without any processes, support, or training.

So that you can get results happening now without having to implement costly programs.

And suppose you do want more structure, training and support as your initiative grows. In that case, you'll know the fundamentals for the business growth innovation program to succeed.

Creating business growth innovation for a non-product based business is simpler than you might think.

Find out how you can use the leverage technique to innovate in your business.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have heard of the term ‘innovation disruption’ or ‘disruptive innovation.

But do you really know what it means, and more importantly, is it worth chasing?

Disruptive innovation theory is complex and confusing, so almost everyone makes up their own definition and loosely calls anything that creates a disruption in an industry a disruptive innovation.

And when it comes to disruptive innovation companies, most of us would label a company such as Uber as a great example of disruptive innovation.

But according to the academic definition, Uber doesn't tick the boxes!

What the heck?

Innovation Expert Nils Vesk discusses whether you should ditch the word disruption and use a better word. More importantly learn how to create growth hacking results with the risk.
