Closure
- We compress 12 years into 12 weeks of disruption. So we have to create a definition of innovation for ourselves - to have practices and develop clear competencies. Innovation needs a practical model, because Innovation is a verb that requires action.
- Have an agenda to do innovation: re-imagine (ask questions and open your mind), re-design (have empathy as how design thinking teaches us), and in the end reorganize.
- Leadership must be reevaluated. More technology literacy is required and not getting caught up in the fear and anxiety that lead to conservatism.
- Improvisation lacks purpose, discipline and inspiration. It all starts with a good foundation, just like a jazz band starts with a good song that you know well, but in the face of a new sound it does not exclude improvisation.
- Do we fly or fight? In the pandemic there is fear and anxiety. It is important to take advantage of those to move forward instead of paralyzing or taking steps backwards.
- Creating value today is not only for shareholders, it is for society in general. Here collaboration is essential.
- There is a danger when we think about having the answers, because we stop looking for the answer. We must continue to look for new answers.
- Isolation is different from Hibernate. Because when we hibernate something grows and prepares for the future. We cannot isolate ourselves, at most we can hibernate.
- We are in a time where we leave the experts and do things ourselves. We make bread at home, or cut our own hair. We will do many more things for ourselves.
- What can be done online? Almost everything. We will find that many times what is done will be even better. Many will prefer it that way. Where even in customer service it is possible to personalize and customize, more than in person.
- The war will not be so much for talent, but more for value at this stage.
- Some self-care strategies, such as meditation, help us to remove anxiety. They are in themselves individual protection equipments that we need for ourselves.
- This is a time for collaboration, where we can connect different things, see other possibilities and virtually collaborate with people from around the world who challenge our thinking. Innovation is born from the crossing of different ideas. It is born of ‘sex’ among ideas.
John Kao
Chairman | Institute for Large Scale Innovation
John is author of the best-selling Jamming: The Art and Discipline of Business Creativity, which describes what leaders of all kinds can learn from jazz musicians, as well as Innovation Nation, which documents America’s growing innovation challenge. He was a producer on sex, lies and videotape (Palme d'Or, Cannes) and Mr. Baseball (Universal Studios), and was nominated for a Tony Award for producing the play Golden Child on Broadway. His knowledge is eclectic and blends the perspectives of former Harvard Business School professor.
The Economist tagged John with the nicknames “Mr. Creativity” and “A Serial Innovator.”
John has been working on a new framework in times of disruption. The World Economic Forum published a piece on this recently. And he also had been working on a new set of innovation fundamentals that I call the "3 R's".
