I come across the book named "Ten faces of innovation" in Amazon a few days ago. The Authors are Tom Kelly and Jonathan Littman. I have been read "The art of innvation" by Tom kelly and I like it. I couldn't help the desire of reading the book and surfed NUS libriaries portal to borrow this book. Unluckily, it is on borrowing and 3 persons hold it. Therefore, I read book reviews of others and tried to be happy with it. Here are some knowledge I found out from it.
Anthropologist – person who observe people, processes and interactions “with a fresh eye” and discover ways to help them.
Experimenter - person who is willing to take a chance and to explore alternatives and test concepts through prototyping, trial-and-error and applied science.
Cross-pollinator – person who enjoy connecting different cultures, like a bee flitting between the private parts of flowers, the cross-pollinator spreads good ideas and techniques between specialism, breaking down silos and sharing good practice
Hurdler – person who knows that the path to innovation is full with obstacles but never give it up to overcome or outsmart those roadblocks and able to leap tall buildings (well project hurdles anyway) in a single bound.
Collaborator – person who can persuade people and teams together to perform collaboration by finding common interests and objectives among them.
Director – person who can gather talented crews together and help them to spark their creative talents under his/ her coaching to innovate.
Experience architect - person who can put himself in the customer’s shoes and visualize products and services that can meet at a deeper level with customer’s latent or expressed needs.
Set designer - person who can create a stage on which innovation team members can do their best work by transforming physical environment into powerful tools to influence behavior and attitude of innovation.
Caregiver – person who support their colleagues, providing a sympathetic sounding board and gentle encouragement when times are tough and motivating and inspiring people by care giving to them.
Storyteller – person who can tell the stories about people, products, process and services in creative and interesting ways using his/ her excellent narrative or communication skills.
The above persons are who contribute different ways of creativity and innovation to teams. These individuals can fuel innovation inside the organization and should company hire these kinds of people to adopt innovation in their orgainization.
I wonder what kind of person should I be? What kind of person I would like to be? I strongly would like to be Anthropologist. I love this kind of study!
