In our latest Innovate On Purpose podcast episode, Jeff D. Standridge, Ed.D. Managing Director of Innovation Junkie shared invaluable insights on fostering innovation within organizations. Here are the key takeaways:

Planned Change for Betterment: Innovation is not just about new technology. It’s about planned change aimed at improving efficiency, productivity, and reducing costs.

Three Types of Innovation:

  1. Incremental: Small, continuous improvements.
  2. Breakthrough: Applying new technology to existing models.
  3. Disruptive: Innovations that completely displace existing technologies.

Strategic Approach: Start by identifying a critical problem or opportunity. Ask, “What one thing, if solved, would be a game changer?”

Balance and Execution: Ensure your innovation projects align with your organization’s capabilities and resources.

Cultural Integration: Make innovation everyone’s job by creating mechanisms for idea contribution and fostering a culture of innovation.

Leadership and Innovation: These are inseparable. Leaders must guide and influence the innovation process to ensure successful implementation.

Customer Discovery: Validate your ideas with potential customers through unbiased questions to ensure market fit.

Fall in Love with the Problem: Focus on solving significant problems rather than being attached to initial ideas.

Jeff Standridge’s innovation leadership blueprint offers a structured approach to achieve sustained growth. For more details, contact Jeff at jeffs@innovationjunkie.com or connect on LinkedIn.

What OUR CLIENTS & PARTNERS SAY...

Todd Greer

todd greer testimonial

“I have worked with and around Jeff for over a decade. Jeff is a tenacious business leader and attacks challenges with a no-nonsense, thoughtful, innovator’s mindset. Equally important, he is an expert at the “human-factor,” which can completely undermine an academic approach to problem solving, and he interlaces his understanding of psychology and sociology with his many years of practical experience to produce results.”
