Dr Stephen Lundin, PhD, author of FISH! & Top Performer

Today I had the pleasure of hearing this top author & public speaker share CATS - the nine lives of innovation.

In addition to the 9 lives, he shared his learnings on innovation:

• The goal is to simplify, not complicate


• Everything starts with an idea, then taking a risk, then the action


• Mind mapping is a powerful tool


• Innovative firms are playful & light-hearted


• Innovation happens on the 'edge' (different disciplines getting together)


• Be uncomfortable


• Engaging with others builds energy


• Use "provocation" to create energy


• Mix with unlikely partners
