Creative Whack #3 Have something at Stake. 2007-10-01 22:28:09 This week’s creative whack is….card 57 Have something
at stake.
A frozen-fish processor had trouble selling a new line of frozen fish because it tasted "flat". The company tried everything to keep the fish fresh including holding them in tanks until just before processing but to no avail. Then someone suggested: "Put a predator in there with them, that should keep them fresh. This idea worked like a charm. The fish kept moving and regained their vitality.
Moral: have something at stake, survival, self-esteem, money, reputation so that you’ll be motivated to make your idea successful. What do you have at stake?

Service Innovation. 2007-10-14 18:40:38 When we think about innovation we associate it with products like ipod’s, cell phones, computers, video game consoles, etc. But now companies, consultants and researchers are shifting their focus from products to services.
So what is service innovation? An example is the story of Thomas Edison, the inventor and innovator who came up with the lightbulb. People don’t tend to think of the related service innovations—getting lightbulbs into houses and schools, setting prices for the electricity services to keep them lit. That’s all service innovation.
More recent examples, though most people wouldn’t think of them under the phrase, are outsourcing and the shift toward self-service.
Why you haven’t heard much about ServiceInnovation
until now, is because it is more difficult than Product Innovation.
There are more dimensions to service innovation than there are to product innovation. Service innovation can be a new service concept, it can be a new way to int

Right Brained or Left Brained. 2007-10-13 10:54:59 Can you see which way the dancer is spinning?
If you think she’s going clockwise, you’re apparently right-brain dominant (imaginative, philosophical, touchy-feely, impetuous); if you see her going counter-clockwise, you’re left-brain dominant (logical, practical, detail-oriented, safe).
If you’re are able to alternate views to see her going in both directions, then you’re just a plain old genius. Just focus on the picture and you’ll see that you can make her change directions at will.

How to stop living in the past and focus in the present. 2007-10-04 23:09:30 In looking back on unpleasant situations and experiences, the thought occurs to us: if only we had done or said x or y, if only we could do it over. Which is precisely the wrong approach. What makes us go astray is in the first place is that we are unattuned to the present moment, insensitive to the circumstances. We are listening to our own thoughts, reacting to things that happened in the past, applying ideas that have nothing to do in the present.
We must understand that the most creative people stand out not because they have more knowledge but because they are able, when necessary, to drop their preconceived notions and focus intensely in the present moment. That is how creativity is sparked and opportunities are seized.
It can be valuable to analyze what went wrong in the past, but it is far more important to develop the capacity to think in the moment. In that way you will make fewer mistakes to analyze.
Just to use and analogy, think of the mind as a river: the faster it flow

Developing your creativity. 2007-10-17 01:17:03 Everyone has creative talent, but many people lack confidence in their own creativity. “I’m not very creative” is a common lament, even from people who manage their careers well and are extremely successful in bringing value to the business where they work. In fact, developing a more efficient approach to your own workload requires considerable creativity. So the term creativity can have a much broader meaning than simply being possessed of artistic talent.
MAKING IT HAPPEN
Look at the world around you. Developing creativity requires the same amount of thought and attention as developing any other skill. Although some people do seem to be more innately creative than others, it’s wrong to think that some individuals have and other’s don’t. Creativity is a natural form of human expression.
Take a look at the world you’ve created around yourself. Your home and workspace are a creative expression of who you are and so are the social networks you&r
