ACTIONS AND KEY QUESTIONS
Reflexes (Immediate actions)
• If we are looking for a solution to a problem, I actively seek input from people with different perspectives • If a new idea is proposed, I first look for its potential merits before assessing its risks • If an innovation succeeds, I ensure that credit is given to the true creators, not only to those who are most visible • Allocate dedicated time and resources to experimentation and the exploration of new ideas • Celebrate not only successes, but also the learning generated by intelligent failures • Organise cross-team brainstorming sessions to combine perspectives and generate innovative ideas • How can I create an environment where the right to make mistakes is seen as an opportunity to learn? • Which current routines or processes might be constraining my team’s creativity? • When was the last time I encouraged an idea that seemed radically different or counter-intuitive?
