Communicate is the key...! Communicate clearly and passionately. Present your ideas with confidence and show how they can benefit the organization. For example, use a compelling presentation and give the data that supports it. Next, seek feedback and build support. Share your ideas with colleagues and ask for their input. This can help you refine your ideas and gain allies who can advocate for you.

Analise a cultura da organização e identifique os principais tomadores de decisão. Compreenda os valores, crenças e normas da empresa para adaptar sua abordagem de acordo com o contexto.

When advocating for new ideas, it's crucial to understand your audience. Tailor your communication to the stakeholders' interests, needs, and language. For instance, when addressing executives, focus on how your idea aligns with strategic goals and bottom-line benefits. Technical teams should delve into operational improvements and efficiencies. By aligning your innovative proposals with your audience's priorities, you increase the likelihood that they will support and champion your ideas. It's also important to stress the role of embracing randomness, leveraging leadership principles, utilizing decision-making models, fostering innovation, and trusting intuition in enhancing your approach.

My first step would be to envision what the future state could look like if the problem didn't exist. For example, if we take a step back in time and imagine the pitch for an iPhone. One could start by articulating the problem (e.g. difficulty connecting with others, multiple tools for calendaring, email, voice calls, etc) before pitching the innovative idea. What if instead the pitch started with " imagine having a single tool where you could access all of your contacts, connect to the web, manage your email, take pictures and that tool could be held in the palm of your hand...would that be worth pursuing?" Both approaches would lead to a great discussion yet which would you rather hear if it was you sitting at the table?
