Innovation is Fun

Innovation is fun − or it should be. Creative ideas flow when your mind is relaxed and making unexpected connections. Creativity is associated with play. Even at work, creativity sessions often take place off site and are led by a facilitator who enables you to escape temporarily the stresses and bureaucracy of work. When you have a wild, crazy and just possibly brilliant idea in such an environment, it feels marvelous. You begin to think how great it would be to implement the idea and see it realized. Then you get back to your desk, hundreds of emails and an endless stream of meetings. The thought of implementing your idea becomes intimidating. Finding time to do anything with it feels impossible. The steps you'll need to take to implement your idea seem anything but fun. Because the implementation involves a lot of hurdles. The thing to remember, however, is that hurdles are for jumping over. So change your mindset. Innovation has to be fun. Design a way to celebrate each success and dare to think great!
