Creative Agility: Action Your Way to Innovation

How can innovators speed up their innovation processes? Dr. Hill weighs in on creative agility, another pillar of effective innovation. The key focus here is that you cannot plan your way to innovation – eventually you have to act your way there. The best learning is by doing!  

Understanding Creative Agility: Action-Oriented Innovation 

Innovative companies are steering away from extensive planning phases and embracing a culture that values experimentation, adaptability, and quick decision-making. Creative agility is the ability to take these faster and swifter actions toward a solution. 

The Power of Quantity in Creative Agility  

When iteration is used in the innovation process, innovators develop and test different options, learn from the outcomes, and try again - and, in many cases, again and again. The significance of numerous trials rather than irregular pilots stems from the understanding that each experiment, regardless of the outcome, contributes to a reservoir of insights with value and potential.

If Creative Agility is important to your organization, our InnovationWorks platform enables "learning by doing" to drive creative agility. It guides innovators through the process and capture the learnings from all the iterations as your innovators experiment along the way. Creative Agility is really the reason why our SaaS platform exists! You can not scale the efforts of hundreds (or thousands) of innovators working on my multiple iterations and capture all of these learnings in a spreadsheet or web-based project management tool. You need something more robust and SaaS driven!
