A rebel intrapreneur must learn the discipline of innovation. By definition, a rebel intrapreneur furthers the mission of the organization, while simultaneously challenging the system from within. This means improving existing things or launching new things. Innovation is required.
When Helene Cahen released her book, Fire Up Innovation: Sparking and Sustaining Innovation Teams, I thought, “She wrote this book for rebel intrapreneurs.” After listening to this episode, I think you will agree.
We talked about a lot of things, including:
4 Ps of creativity
Creating a culture of starting small, prototyping, and not asking for permission
The reality that if you don’t innovate, you are dead (organizationally, speaking)
Stay and fight for innovation or leave and go somewhere else
Some organizations are fast and some are slow and some have different definitions of fast and slow
Diversity in the way we solve problems
Understand the problem before we leap to solutions
Your role in innovation is moving the process along
The need to define success clearly
Brainstorming and clustering
Innovation is about change
The wall of assumptions
The key to innovation is to “Find a project you can start on”
4 principles of applied innovation
