DISCOVERY SKILLS
In the book ‘The Innovators DNA’
authors Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregersen
and Clayton M. Christensen set out
to explore successful innovators
and their skillsets. The study
involved over 5,000 executives, and
identified five skills that innovative
thinkers regularly practice. They
found the most innovative CEOs
spend 50% more time practicing
these five specific innovation skills
than do their less creative
counterparts – and that anyone can
follow them to become innovators
themselves. What this study shows
is that creativity is much more
learned than we think. They assert
that virtually everyone has some
capacity for creativity and
innovative thinking. It just requires
a change in behaviour.
Warwickers has a program to help develop and enhance these
skills..
