Step 5: Move to Action
Innovation isn’t about more ideas—it’s about momentum.
🔹 Start Doing – What new initiatives are needed?
🔹 Keep Doing – What’s already working?
🔹 Stop Doing – What’s just creating noise?

Step 4: Capture Insights & Implications
As ideas emerge, track:
📝 New opportunities
🤔 What assumptions we’re challenging
💡 Small shifts that can create outsized impact

Step 2: The Three I’s of Innovation
There’s no single way to define innovation. Instead, we explore:
💡 Imagination – Seeing new possibilities
🔬 Invention – Creating something truly new
🛠 Ingenuity – Hacking the system for smarter solutions

Step 1: Set the Context
Before jumping into solutions, ask:
🔹 How did we get here?
🔹 What challenges do we face?
🔹 What outcomes do we really want?
Without this, innovation risks being just another buzzword.

Most organizations don’t lack innovation efforts—they lack clarity.
Too often, teams keep adding initiatives without removing what’s not working.
