Creativity and Innovation
Tools
If continuous improvement is not enough, what
now?
Tools are needed to implement ideas and concepts
for creativity and innovation.
Today's development activities call for more creativity and innovation than ever before. Leading organizations are in a leading position because of their ability to creatively innovate. If you doubt this, notice how often the word "agile" appears in project management and testing methods.
Continuous improvement simply is not enough. Creativity
and Innovation are what is called for. Toyota recently
announced that they wanted to build a car using only 1/2 the
parts. You can't do that via continuous improvement.
By contrast, failure to innovate may have been responsible for
the recent decline of the "former" big 3 automakers
(Ford, Chrysler, and GM), with over 104,000 jobs lost.
The man who has no imagination has no wings.
Muhammad Ali
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.
Lewis Carroll
There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Live out of your imagination, not your history.
Stephen Covey
