If you don’t know what to do, you may be on the right track.
You had to push through your fear of being judged?
You had to break some rules to get an idea off the ground?
You had a concept that would displace your most successful product?
Your colleague tried to scuttle your best idea?
You knew it was time to stop judging yourself negatively?
Your colleague asked you to help with a hair-brained idea?
You were asked to facilitate a session to create new concepts, but no one could explain what would happen after the concepts were created?
You weren’t afraid your prototype would be a success?
You thought you knew what the customer wanted, but didn’t have the data to prove it?
You were asked to create patentable concepts you knew would never be commercialized?
Your prototype threatened the status quo?
You were asked to facilitate a session to create new concepts and told how to do it?
You were told “No.”
You saw a young employee struggling with a new concept?
You were blocking yourself from starting the right work?
You thought your idea had merit, but you needed help testing it in the market?
You were asked to follow a standard process but you knew there wasn’t one?
You were asked to come up with new concepts though there were five excellent concepts gathering dust?
You were told there was no market for your new-to-world prototype?
You had to bolster your self-confidence to believe wholeheartedly in your idea?
There is a name for what you would do. It’s called innovation.
