Step 6. Scale and Persevere
How do you make the leap from experiment to introduction? First of all, you need to get colleagues, managers, and actually the entire organization excited about your innovation. Van Wulfen shares a business case model that can help with this. He warns against the most important obstacle in innovation: the simple word 'no'. Real innovators are not immediately slowed down by a rejection, but see it as an extra incentive to persevere.
The book 'Innoveer jezelf' is rather tame in terms of structure. For example, the last line of each chapter always gives a simple preview of what you will read in the next chapter. You would expect something more gripping from an innovation driver. But perhaps that is precisely the strength of this book. After all, it is intended to help people who are not yet innovative, with the first steps on their way. And I think that will succeed quite well. So don't be put off by the structure or the sober cover of the book.
Van Wulfen neatly takes the reader by the hand and leads him to the beginning of a renewal process. And the question that the author poses at the beginning of the book, 'Will your job still exist in ten years?', excellently indicates the urgency of innovation. Innovating to survive, that is what it is all about!
Wunderlist, Basecamp or Dropbox: there are plenty of apps and tools to help you collaborate better and keep track of your results and progress. But which one do you use and when? In this podcast I talk to Michael Pryor from Trello, a productivity app and tool that helps you collaborate better and ultimately get more done.
Michael explains, among other things, how Trello came into being. The idea was that everyone in the company would get 5 tasks on a note, and that every employee could see each other's tasks. That way, everyone would have insight into the situation of the organization at any given moment.
I'm a fan of Trello for the following hong kong mailing database reasons:
Trello is very easy to use, you don't need to follow a course or introduction
You can set up Trello in the way that works best for you
In the podcast, Michael explains the various purposes for which you can use Trello. For example, he explains how you can use Trello for employee onboarding.
Also in the podcastHow did Trello reach 20 million users in six years? Michael shares the lessons they learned and how they were challenged to think big and globally. He also shares the mistakes they made and the things that didn’t work.
