YOUR market value...boost it #10 of 10...

do not rise to the level of your own mediocrity.....
(when you want to make a call on a problem or issue)...

• start close to home: hold brainstorming challenges among your staff; include staff members who do not usually have input into the innovation process...new brains = new ideas...
• support your local team:  include other departments in the brainstorm sessions and encourage all departmental teams to work together...no idea is "wrong"...it may need to be refined...
• sharpen your targeting skills:  be specific when you present problems open for innovation...a problem presented better is a problem solved better (pardon the grammer)...
• get back on the horse:  top open innovation veterans know how to sense failure fast and recover even faster...
