Our Ideas and Insight   Testing Your Corporate "IQ"   "Lessons from the Sandbox"   Great Moments in Innovation   Don't Try This at Home   Links to Sources of Insight   Don't Try This at Home   Looking to spark innovation and growth in your organization? Here are a few ideas to get you started...   1. Go on a "Treasure Hunt"   Take yourself and your team on a "treasure hunt" to search for ideas. Ask people to find things in stores, museums or nature that provide insight for solving pressing problems or creating great new products, services or ways of doing business.   2. Benchmarking, Best Practices and Perfect Competitors   Look at the leaders in your industry and other industries to find out who is creating the real state-of-the-art in addressing your problem or opportunity. And if that isn't good enough, "create" the world's finest competitor to spur your thinking about what it will take to win now and in the future.   3. Einstein, Elvis and Mr. Ed   Put yourself in someone else's shoes and try to think about how they would solve your problem or opportunity.   You can choose almost anyone who might have insight or a unique perspective to share from innovators to generals to other business leaders, celebrities or even famous animals.     ::  About Us  ::  Our Services  ::  Ideas & Insight  ::  Seminars & Keynote Speaking  ::  Contact Us |  Privacy Policy  | Copyright 1997 - Venture Works, Inc.
