FastForward Radio: Blueprint vs Blue-Sky

In this episode, I talk about blueprint and blue-sky innovation mindsets, and how to assess your own mindset to achieve the best results. When the pandemic was forcing businesses to change, some of our clients took a blueprint innovation mindset. They were hurrying to fix things according to the way they already did them – just adapting a little bit to survive. On the opposite end of the spectrum were those with a blue-sky innovation mindset. They were saying “This is an opportunity to blow everything up and re-imagine it.” They’d decided the blueprint they had wasn’t going to work going forward. They were going to rethink everything. If you’re an innovation leader or an aspiring innovation leader, I recommend assessing your team or even your personal life to see if you’re taking a blueprint or a blue-sky approach. 1. On a scale of 1-10, how much risk am I taking with new ideas? 10 would be reckless, something with the potential to ruin your organization or your life. 1 means you’re doing things the same way you’ve always done them. 2. On a scale of 1-10, how confident am I about dreaming up and executing new ideas? Give yourself a 1 if you aren’t confident at all. Give yourself a 10 if you feel like all your ideas will be amazing, everyone will buy into them, and you’ll be able to execute them and get the results you want. 3. Who are my innovation role models and how disruptive are they on a scale from 1-10? 10 would be a disruptive innovator, someone like Steve Jobs or even Elon Musk. If innovators, to you, are people that deliver a big impact but move more slowly and cautiously, you might pick someone at the other end of the spectrum – like Martha Stewart. This episode is all about getting your head in the right place to generate breakthrough innovation and work with your team to get them there too.
