Sustainable innovation, need not be an illusive unicorn. In this episode you get to understand where your unique creative thinking fits into innovation, where you get stuck and where you can collaborate to get creative solutions out of the door. 

In this episode we unpack how to create sustainable innovation. Whether we are working with creative problem solving, design thinking, lean or sprints, different thinking styles are critical in each phase to get innovation out of the door. 

An independent IBM study shared that those trained in creative thinking styles, an assembly created by FourSight TM.  were more effective at delivering impactful innovation. 

The four creative thinking styles are:

Clarifiers - lets not make assumptions 

Ideators - where are all the possibilities 

Developers - lets create a workable solution 

Implementors - Just do it, lets get this out of the door

Preferences are not indicative of ability, they just show us where we come alive and get energy. 

Knowing what your preferences are lets you know where you can plug into the innovation process and where you have gotten stuck, spinning your wheels.

Understand how to increase collaboration and reduce conflict, by understanding another’s preference. Suddenly that annoying thing they do becomes just the thing you need to get innovative solutions out the door.

FourSight has over 60 years of research and is currently used in 6 continents across industries.
