Brian Ardinger, Inside Outside Innovation founder, talks with Laura Anne about sustainable innovation and big data.\n\n\nImportant Take Aways:\n\n\nSustainable Innovation is Key! \n - Maintain innovation over time through systems. What you are doing, who you are doing it with, and create creative collisions. \n - Key elements: Know who you’ve hired. Use innovation audit to look at information flow. \n - Address process changes, information flow, and awareness about how to support creativity. \n\n\nWhat trends and tactics are useful?\n - Small changes in meeting schedule, office layout, what info is shared. Eg - Donut carts bring out introverts\n - What can you do to create intentional and organic collisions for the team.\n - How to change info flow to build on introverts in the room.\n - What is your company’s version of prototyping?\n - Do you have regular airing of ideas, instead of annual sharing. Appeals to extroverts and performance. \n - Can’t keep doing same five things.\n - Look at who you have and what you are trying to do. \n\n\nHave trends and tactics changed over time?\n - Don’t just put creativity into tech teams. \n - For diversity, look at age, race, and where people come from, but go deeper. Look for different ways of thinking. Understand your people.\n - Product managers act as facilitators, instead of driving the product.\n\n\nHow do you measure if the company is on the right path?\n - Retention of talented teams and ability to use teams to understand and be a feedback loop. \n - We’ve applied industrial tactics to human assets. Need new set of processes and facilitation. \n\n\nHow does open data change the way we create and build new innovative ideas?\n - By connecting and making available the silos of open data, it solves the last mile problem. \n - Apply new big algorithms and computing powers to open data. Currently there is no tracking of doctoral research. \n - We...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/tuy-Vu65TF9mUCcj2kyt--m9YHQFFUMJkxUQTl68g6A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/Lzc3ODcvMTY0ODU1/MTQ3MC1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
