Innovation Workouts - Rekindle the Grey Matter
We all appreciate and applaud Sachin Tendulkar’s brilliance and his records in all the forms of cricket. But we are unable to appreciate the hard work he has put in over the years in the nets. In the nets no runs are scored, but the net practice helps him score tons on the real battle field.
Similarly companies must allow its employees to have innovation workouts challenging them with an opportunity or a problem. Such workout may or may not yield immediate result but what it can definitely do is to help build the self confidence in the Ideation process. Such ideation can be done by individual employees in their own space and time. The result can be shared afterwards in a group workout. This will ensure that everyone gets a chance to think & present his own idea resulting into bountiful ideas.
Companies no more compete on products and services but on the grey matter sealed in their employees head and their inner voice to innovate.
