Thoughts on Innovation

I was pointed to the older post from Greg Surrat the other day by someone on Twitter.

  1. Innovation comes from collaboration
  2. Everything is an experiment
  3. We learn on the fringes
  4. Risk is a requirement
  5. Every campus is a laboratory
  6. We set BHAGs
  7. We are comfortable with imperfection
  8. Failure is always an option
  9. No one failure will sink the ship
  10. Our goal is never innovation; our goal is always effectiveness

Interesting thoughts…

  • How often do I try to do something on my own because I don’t want to work with people or think I can do it better on my own?
  • It is only a failure if I choose not to learn from something I try.
  • Try something outrageous that no one else is doing.
  • Set my sights higher.  Set “God-sized” goals.
  • I need to remember that it is ok to roll things out before they meet “my standard of perfection’.
  • Am I being effective in what I doing?
