Today's meditation:
Innovation isn't the responsibility of a department in your company.
It begins with each employee.
It begins with you.
*You* must take responsibility for cultivating the seeds of innovation - within yourself, in your daily work, within the sphere of your locus of control - or influence, and actively encouraging innovation in your daily interactions with others.
It begins with your Daily Habits.
How many different ways are you seeking to expose yourself to new ideas?
How many different ways are you actively seeking to engage in the exchange of ideas with others - and not just within your own company?
What are you reading?
What are you learning?
What experiments are you personally trying?
We are all limited to the same 24-hours in our day - and you can't do/try everything - so how are you organizing your personal Knowledge Management - so that you are building up a wealth of insights and ideas - from the efforts of many others - how do you seek to preserve those potential future seeds of innovation - from what you see, hear, learn...now?
For by nurturing a practice of harvesting seeds now - you may hopefully enjoy a bountiful harvest, for decades to come.
Pro Tip: Real competitive advantage level innovation - isn't going to be found by following the lemmings. They are skating to where the hockey puck last was - not where it is going to be.
