Dance of Innovation

Rapid Innovation is a Way of Life. It is a dance – series of steps and a particular rhythm. If you get an idea, you need to run a very quick and dirty test of your idea. Immediately after your initial test, you need to ask yourselves: “What happened? What can we learn from that test? What can we do differently next time?”. Then get on to next steps you discovered from your reflection process. Do this again and again. After a while (It is fun doing it. you may face so many challenges. never ever give up or quit refining your ideas. It is like learning your first steps. You need to try relentlessly until you get good at it), you get a good at it. Then you go develop a rhythm – that is where rubber meets the road and real innovation starts to occur. True innovation is not a cool idea – it is what we learn when we observe what  goes down when we actually test our potentially cool idea.
