Deciphering Your Innovator Archetype on Innovation Ecosystem

“Everyone is innovate. It’s universal. But, how we innovative is unique to each of us. The mistake we make is thinking that in order to be innovate we all need to do the same things. In reality, what we need to do is play our own unique strengths, our Innovator Archetypes” - Tamara Kleinberg

This article links to a recent podcast interview with Innovation Ecosystem where we delve into how to create a culture of innovation and how to decipher and leverage your Innovator Archetypes.

• Simply giving a company ideas is not enough, we need to create ownership of ideas and empower everyone to utilise their innovative potential.
• An innovation culture, creates space for innovation and effectively grants permission to all levels within the organisation.
• Acknowledging that different people approach innovation in different ways enables us to employ compounding innovation which takes a step by step approach to innovation treating it like a bank account that steadily grows.
