We at LBi think that it’s important for us as an organisation to remove the fear factor when it comes to innovation. Lets believe in making mistakes without being penalized. If you knew that you could be as free, and creative as you’d like, with no repercussions, it would create a more open, and therefore innovative atmosphere.
The important thing is, to create a culture that fosters innovation within the workplace.
Our innovation sessions are about coming together and talking about innovation around the world.
The topics for 07/04/11 are:
- The world-wide-web
- Social Check-ins
- Social Retailing
2. Tyler Durden’s 8 rules of innovation
• No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which
does not matter truly slide.
• “No fear! No distractions! The ability to let that which
does not matter truly slide!
• I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say
let’s evolve, let the chips fall where they may.
• It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to
do anything.
• You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you
have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re
not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your
fucking khakis.
• People do it everyday, they talk to themselves… they
see themselves as they’d like to be, they don’t have the
courage you have, to just run with it.
• Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a
chicken.
• This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time.
3. So...what does all of this mean for us?
“Creativity and innovation are mainly
about hard work. It’s about constantly
coming up with ideas and thinking
through problems instead of vegging
out. And it’s about taking action, plain
and simple.”
Brian Clark, new media entrepreneur and co-founder of Lateral Action.
7. What is the World Wide Web?
The World Wide Web is like a
huge electronic magazine and to
flick through each page, you
would require a browser - to
input an address.
