This is a presentation I made at JKUAT MIT-AITIx on innovation

1. Robots vs. Aliens

2. Not common Fuzzy Limits??? Strange Unusual Laws??? Aliens

3. Robots… Programmed Predictable Mechanical Common Limited

4. Innovators are a lot like ALIENS!

5. Innovation cannot really be managed

7. But you can manage the ‘Innovation Space’ i.e. Create an enabling environment

10. Innovation vs ‘Status Quo’

11. ‘Think outside the BOX’

12. But what BOX is this???

13. Social Convention Educational Conditioning ‘Growing up’ Status Quo Social Conditioning

15. Out of the box thinking is hard because (sadly) life experience has a way of teaching you the opposite…

16. ‘Status Quo’ = the current mess we are in

17. ‘Status Quo’ = Convention, What is Commonly Accepted

18. But… not necessarily the best solution e.g.

21. Prison Break!

22. Like body building… it’s painful No pain, No gain!

23. Unlearn before you learn Not so easy! How long have u been learning?

24. Question things There are absolutes but not all we consider absolutes are such

25. The GREAT out-of-box thinking test…

27. Limits? What Limits?

28. Boundaries? What Boundaries?

29. Conventional“hmm, WHY?”

30. Unconventional, New, Innovative“hmm, WHY NOT?”

37. OR So, Which are you!?
