Projects, Projects, Projects. What’s quite simple about innovation is that projects are what make innovation real. Unless they are in the context of an actual project. Thinking about things is not innovation. Brainstorming sessions are not innovation. Design Thinking is not innovation. DeBono’s Six Thinking Hats are not innovation. That thing is innovation projects. Those experts are all about projects.

Fast Company Article “Brainstorming is Dumb” Misses the Point. Brainstorming, Done Properly, Is Not a Tool, It’s A Multi-Step Process. And yet another major publication publishes a misleading article about brainstorming — Brainstorming is Dumb. The big picture the article misses is that brainstorming is not a single tool, it’s a system. They mention Osborn in the article but don’t accept his definition of brainstorming.

It may seem like an obvious connection, but when I made the “innovation is learning” statement at a recent presentation — thinking everyone would agree — I got a room full of raised eyebrows. So, let me explain my thinking. That’s where you start thinking about what you might do, or change, in some area of expertise or knowledge. Some would call this market research, and by all means do that, but I think it goes deeper.
