I have seen the video many times which documents their process of designing something truly different and unique. But when I saw the video again a few weeks ago, this quote struck me more significantly than it has in the past. Many times we spend countless hours crafting our message, building our plans and designing our strategies. Much like an annual report, which is said to be a document that is read more before it is published than after, our business plans and strategy documents are revised and refined to “perfection.” Yet when we go to the market, our tactics are often worthless. As Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable." Read complete Plan B Philosophy blog post.

for: IDEO's Innovation and Design Process (DesignThinking) May 11, 2014May 11, 2014 / davidleeedtech IDEO, an innovation and design firm, utilizes a design process that helps them develop products that we use everyday (computer mouse, high tech medical equipment, ski goggles, computer screens, etc.). In an ABC Nightline report, the company revealed some of its secrets and demonstrated their process by designing a shopping cart.  The following are some of the highlights of the report:  The members of the design team were not product experts, but were http://www.cutimes.com/2011/05/03/enlightened-trial-and-error-succeeds-over-the-plan experts in the process of design. The project leader is chosen based on her or his ability to work with groups. The design team members are from a wide-range of fields. This results in different perspectives and solutions to a project. There should not be a hierarchy system in an innovative culture. The design team speaks with product experts (people who https://davidleeedtech.wordpress.com/2014/05/11/ideos-innovation-and-design-process/ use, make, and repair the product) because it is faster than learning about the product yourself. "Enlightened trial and error succeeds over the planning of the lone genius." - Peter Skillman "Fail often in order to succeed sooner." - One of IDEO's mottos Recipe for Innovation = Lot of hours + Open mind + Leader who demands fresh ideas be corky + Teamwork + Belief chaos can be constructive Here are some of IDEO's mantras that they post around their workspace: One conversation at a time Stay focused on the topic Encourage wild ideas Defer judgement Build on the ideas of others Share this:TwitterFacebookGoogleTumblrPinterestLinkedInLike this:Like Loading...

ago we talked about sense-making as “the ability to make sense of what’s going on in a changing and complex environment.” Today I http://steverudolphcoaching.com/enlightened-trial-and-error-for-busy-managers-and-their-teams/ want to focus on a core pillar of sense-making— trial and error. “Our world is changing radically. The age of intuition, gut instinct, opinion, and natural creativity is on the wane. These are romantic notions and we love to believe in them, but when the data comes in they are being increasingly proven not just to be wrong, but enlightened trial horribly wrong.” —Gerry McGovern Trial and error in today’s workplace takes on a new level of importance because both management processes and their effect on the end-consumer are more measurable than ever. In order to navigate marketplaces that change at lightning-speed, testing results can sometimes be the only way to know what works. That’s right. All the training, enlightened trial and all the consulting, and the best MBAs in the country won’t guarantee you can predict outcomes of your management decisions and product innovations. The quote above by Gerry McGovern comes from a now infamous blog post about how top website-building experts couldn’t predict the better choice between two simple landing page signup forms for the SIMS computer game. Why couldn’t they come up with the right answer? Because even seasoned experts have to collect data before making an informed decision. The fact is that it doesn’t matter what you think the best option is when facing innovative decisions— it only matters what actually works. Data is truth. Luckily, we live in a world where every single workplace action and effect can be measured and analyzed. “Incremental success is better than grandiose failure.” —Winston Churchill COACHING TIP: How can you apply this to your team? When looking to innovate, you need to pilot new projects on the market— quickly. Implement an imperfect but well-formed idea, and then rapidly gauge results. Did the customer
