Do you know what? Innovation doesn’t work… …when done in isolation. 🧠It can’t be the job of single people or teams to ‘be innovative’. It takes a culture and mindset with buy in from bottom to top; one where it’s ok to try new things, there is space to test, and acceptance that it may lead to learning or failure, before scale. 🧪It also can’t be done in ‘labs’ or silos, disconnected from the business, aimlessly testing concepts or cool tech with no eye on business value as an outcome. ⁉️And it can’t be done without first understanding the problem you’re trying to solve, with real clarity on who you are solving for for, the value it will bring them and some idea of what good looks like from a potential solution. 🚀Which is why, together with the brilliant minds of BIMA (British Interactive Media Association) Innovation Council, “The Innovators Guide” was created.

From starting with the problem to involving stakeholders and iterating it was great fun being involved in the workshops which ran last year to help extract the insight from SMEs and I hope you agree the outcome is both interesting and insightful! ⚡️Innovators!
