Can you see purple? And is it the same as my purple?

Idea to Value

Everyone sees and experiences the world differently from you. And you need to remember this when creating something. Other people will not see things exactly as you do, or as you want them to. I recently came across a fantastic example of this, which also happens to be a wonderful innovation. It’s a pair of special glasses created by a company called Enchroma , which enables people with colour blindness to see the world like everyone without colour blindness do.

Innovation Strategy – 4 Examples Where NOT Acting Might Be Smarter

BrainZooming

Based on several stories last week extolling the benefits of being “lazy” when it comes to innovation strategy, you would think the LAZY days of summer are here a few weeks early (at least in the northern hemisphere). Lazy is hardly a sentiment you typically associate with innovation strategy, which is why these articles caught my eye.

Great Innovators Focus More on Post-Purchase than Pre-Purchase

Innovation in Practice

What products or services have you purchased that are your absolute favorites? Can think of a few? My bet is that you can think of a few because those products did everything and more than what you expected. Your satisfaction after consuming those products is very high.

Progress is powered by people.

Mike Shipulski

People ask why. People buy products from people. The right people turn activity into progress. People want to make a difference, and they do. People have biases which bring a richer understanding. People use judgement – that’s why robots don’t run projects. People recognize when the rules don’t apply and act accordingly. Business models are an interconnected collection of people processes.

Charities – the sleeping giants of innovation
