Idea - Innovation - Creativity - Think about it

Hi All,

Today I have attended a workshop on creativity and innovation, below are some of the key learning which I want to share across.

* There is nothing new innovation in this world - Every Innovation is build on something and there is always add on that.
o Formula for innovation = (k+I) i.e. knowledge + information where this + is more important that how you club those.
o Examples can be If you see in our publication - Print is one thing and Portal if you club both like put small information in print and details on portal. Than students can use both print and portal.
* There are always small innovations which everybody has in their minds but do not implement.
* There is very good thing he says in between - You should have faith in your idea but not over confidence. See you as a small enterprise, do small things and be happy and then consolidate all those small to make a big venture.
* 20% of Google Employees in world think that there company is giving them space to innovate. this number is less than 2% for rest other companies where that person went. I want our all people should think that we are doing innovation and Infact do so..........
* Creativity is just a process to make idea into implementation and execution.
* Speaker of that session is writer and He sold his 250000 books by himself. He writes, publish and then sell the books. He had used all the innovative technique to sell and find those useful.The Biggest thing he told that his customer are brand ambassador and they help to get new ideas and also to increase books. He usually spend $5000-$10000 per month for prizing the user and he has just 7 employees.
* About entrepreneurship he showed a picture of his childhood in which he was naked and rolling in dust....he told entrepreneur is like that he start and then down, get dust and again pick up and start running......

There are many small examples he showed to share this but if you see the whole thing....just small innovation in our day to day work can make huge changes in overall organizations and also in the self improvement. I am just referring to some of the things which need immediate innovations/improvement and want to have ideas and thoughts from all of you.

* Subscription Drive - Associating Students
* Corporate Ads -
* Content of Magazine
* Online promotion
* Events/Activities
* Online content
* Survey and Schemes
* Others

I want people not just read this mail but come up with the ideas however wired we will listen and see how we can implement those.

I hope that all of us start doing innovation in day to day life and work......

Cheers
