Module 1: Why innovation is EASY
STEP 1: UNDERSTAND
This step attempts to provide you with a quick overview of the topic for a particular module. While there may the occasional PDF to read or glance at, most of the information will be in 60 second videos.
Despite what you may have heard, innovation is actually very, very easy. This is not our opinion - it is based on volumes of research and tangible examples.
There are two keys to creating and innovation culture. The first is creating what The Innovation Company calls a POP! Culture® where POP! stand for The Positive Outlook Principle. The second is having a simple process to bring ideas from thoughts to ACTION. We call this process NEWIDEA™ where each letter (N,E.W, and so on) represents a specific behavior. By creating a POP! Culture and using the NEWIDEA process, negative and innovative crushing behaviors and statements that stifle creativity will be replaced by positive and encouraging ones. The result will be the ideas and voice of EVERYONE will be unleashed AND there will be ACTION.

STEP 3: REFLECT and DO
The action items are designed to only take about one minute to complete, are fun and easy, and help put what has been learned into immediate practice. The survey (optional) is an opportunity to get feedback, ideas and REFLECT on the experience. It will be conducted using an online survey tool.
1. Review the questions below again from the games and simulations.

2. Find someone to talk to. It could be a co-worker, a family member, or a friend. Tell them you would like to do a listening exercise with them. Ask this person to tell you about his or her day or any other topic. About 10 seconds after they start talking start looking at your phone, tie your shoe, i.e. become distracted. How did they react? Then, if there is time, restart the exercise and FOCUS with no distractions. What was the difference for both you and the person who was helping you?
