27. Competencies
Useful for focus, can
sometimes be too narrowing
Goals
strategic goals are often
implicit and emergent
Position
benchmarks are ambiguous
Desire to change
pain can felt unevenly across
the organization

39. Simplified view of Innovation
Basic brainstorming is ineffective
Traditional “rules”
result in...
Focus on quantity
...many ideas
Withhold criticism
...many bad ideas
Welcome unusual ideas
...many silly, bad ideas
Build on others’ ideas
...many more, silly, bad ideas

New / Better product experiences
New / Better business models

Different types of problems require different techniques,
and none of them can be finished in a single session.

45. ...but decision making can be biased
Anchoring
difficulty revisiting initial assessments however inaccurate
Emotional tagging
associating past emotions when perceiving similar situations
Attribution
overweighting success as individual, failure as external
Complexity
assuming one can fully see and understand a complex situation
