  1. Innovation in mauritius 2014 Dr. Richard Brynteson brynteson@csp.edu

  2. 3 innovations in past 30 years

  3. Innovation is not just high tech

  4. We have always done it this way! Yes, but…….

  5. Turn On Creative Thinking

  6. Why innovation? VUCA! • Velocity • Uncertainty • Complexity • Ambiguity

  7. Why innovation? • The economic realities of the day are showing us that the sectors which led us towards development in the past may no longer play a critical role in the future. Today, we may affirm with little doubt that the future growth of Mauritius will have to be innovation led. • NPCC, Mauritius, 2006

  8. Out-of-the-Box Thinking • Nine Dot Exercise – 4 lines

  9. Out-of-the-Box Thinking • Nine Dot Exercise – 3 lines

  10. Why? Mauritius is not insular.

  11. Innovation is about different Uses for existing tools

  12. “Innovation is not about creating a five-legged sheep.” -Nikhil Treebhoohun

  13. Step #1: Forget Unlearn Destroy Dismantle “Creative destruction”

  14. Forget>“Learn”“The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get the old ones out.”Dee Hock

  15. Innovation as a way of thinking • Risk and failure must be tolerated. • Change should be sought out. • The ability to challenge assumptions and to shift paradigms. • Thinking of how to maximize potential rather than minimize losses. • Understanding of the power of passion, humor, and joy. • Tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty

  16. Culture of innovation White Space

  17. Watering holes and Safari trails

  18. What innovation gear is your org. in?

  19. Culture of Innovation • Open dialogue: lively discussions, trust • Encourage new ideas: brain writing, brainstorming, blue ocean sessions • Reinforcement: Recognition • Long term perspective: culture change is long term • Challenge and involvement: building of responsibility • Risk-taking: experimentation • Freedom: Goals not means

  20. To innovate successfully, you must hire, work with, and promote people who are unlike you.

  21. If you want innovation, then practice creative abrasion. • Managing the process of creative abrasion means making sure that everyone in the group is talking….

  22. Why innovation? • Porter (from Harvard): 3 stages • Stage #1: factor –driven (cheap resources) • Stage #2: investment-driven • Stage #3: innovation-driven

  23. DNA of Innovators Questioning Observing Experimenting Networking Associating

  24. #1:Questioning: What questions aren’t you asking?

  25. 25 Questions

  26. Who should our customers be? Who could they be? What job needs doing? What are the cracks and crevasses of an industry? Why do people behave this way? How can I get them to behave differently?

  27. Who are these people?

  28. #2: Observing How can you be more observant?

  29. Empathetic design: #1: Observation #2: Capturing data #3: Reflection and analysis #4: Brainstorming for solutions #5: Developing prototypes of possible solutions.

  30. How can you observe your users? Where can you observe them? What jobs do they need done?

  31. Accident • “Name the greatest of all inventors. Accident.” (Mark Twain) • Key point: Who notices accidents? What do people do with accidents? • “One is the observed event: the “invention” is the way the mind seizes upon an inconspicuous occurrence.” (Chowder)

  32. Innovation As Accident

  33. Penicillin • 1928, Fleming left window open next to petri dish with a colony of bacteria. • He looked through a microscope at his ruined experiment. • He saw mold destroying the bacteria. • Accident plus acute observation.

  34. Microwave • Percy Lebaron Spencer had 120 patents, mostly in the defense industry. • One day, he walked by a magnetron- a machine used in radar. The candy bar in his pocket melted. • He grabbed a handful of popcorn kernels and put them in front of the magnetron—they popped!

  35. Assumption Testing Assumption testing

  36. #3:Be an experimenter!

  37. What low-cost experiments can you do?

  38. #4: Networking: Collaboration is us!

  39. Where do innovations come from? (Drucker) • Unexpected occurrences • Incongruities • Process needs • Industry and market changes • Demographic changes • Changes of perception • New knowledge • How about your organization?

  40. International patterns of competition demand that national companies interact and collaborate for growth. This will determine their ability to innovate in response to the new market demands.   • The capacity to innovate depends on the partnerships and linkages between enterprises, NGOs, research bodies, and policy organisations. • NPCC, Mauritius, 2006

  41. What partnerships might be useful?

  42. #5: Be a connector

  43. Associating: What ideas need connecting?

  44. Innovation is about making new combinations

  45. Sometimes wild connections

  46. Key Point • It is not about getting out of the box. • It’s about getting into another box. • It’s about how well connected you are. • New technologies are a confluence of people, ideas, objects.
