what I learned so far about IDEAS

17. what I learned so far about IDEAS
The best source of inspiration is something that is not
working.

18. Q: How do you decide
which idea to
implement/test/validate?

19. IMPLEMENTATION

20. STOP STARTING
START FINISHING

21. WHAT IS
FAILURE
in
INNOVATION?

22. WHAT IS SUCCESS?

23. Nobody did this before!
You will know if it works when it works.
There is no straight path to make it happen.
Innovation is change and change is scary!

24. what I learned so far about SUCCESS in INNOVATION
Success is there as long as I learn.
"It ain't over 'til it's over" - Yogi Berra
Having a functional team is a success.

25. MOTIVATION
WHY do you want to do this?
WHAT keeps you going?

26. DO
Constantly explore ways
of accelerating
prototyping.
Most of the time just do
the next action to get to
a prototype.
Only sometimes think
about the future and the
strategy.

27. FOCUS
Release, don't optimise.
Isolate hypothesis and
validate them
independently.

28. DESIGN
is INNOVATION

29. Q: What else would
you like to know?
