The Innovator’s DNA - From INSEAD and Clayton Christensen -
The five “discovery skills” that distinguished innovators from non-innovators.
1. Innovators ask provocative questions that challenge the status quo.
2. They observe the world like anthropologists to detect new ways of doing things.
3. They network with people who don’t look or think like them to gain radically different perspectives.
4. They experiment to relentlessly test new ideas and try out new experiences.
5. Finally, these behaviours trigger new associations which allow them to connect the unconnected, thereby producing disruptive ideas.
