In the second installment of their innovation series, Becky Berry and Diana Bader consider End User Innovation.
- End user innovation creates something that fills an unidentified and unmet need.
- End user innovation can happen in the heat of the moment using the resources at hand to make what we need.
- Tenacity is a critical strength of end user innovators.
- Sometimes it is hard to explain a vision until it has evolved to a point where others can understand it.
- As Mike Dooley says, the cursed hows are a deterrent to innovation.
- Little innovations can have major impact on people’s lives.
- When we talk about innovation, we frequently talk about vision. Visions involve all 5 senses and include action and space, otherwise they are just pictures.
