Study Notes

Giving Your Pitch and Letting Go to Grow

Create a short, engaging talk to socialize the vision in a sticky way, and teach onboarded evangelists to give the pitch as well.
Letting go of the project allows others to join and be co-creators and champions of the innovation.
Letting go is an opportunity to create room for others to drive the innovation forward in new ways.

Innovation Leadership

There are two forms of innovation leadership: dictators who command and control, and democratic, grassroots innovation movements.
No one person owns brilliant innovation; rather, everyone does, and trying to own it hinders growth.

Overcoming Adversity and Driving Momentum

No innovation is without adversity, and experienced innovators understand that perfection doesn't exist.
Innovators are driven by perpetual imperfection and find hope, optimism, and camaraderie in challenges.

Marketing and Executing Your Vision

Marketing tactics for helping your vision go viral include creating a teaser video, infographic posters, and phasing project announcements.
Focus on sharing the story of your innovation journey with key individuals who will be involved in building and developing it.
The goal of the teaser video is to build excitement and emphasize customer needs.

Getting Started with Your Project

After getting approval for your project, focus on inspiring a movement inside your organization during the first 60-90 days.
