Inside Outside

Laura Anne Edwards is founder of DATA OASIS and works as a NASA Datanaut, TED Resident and with SheCanHackIT. Brian Ardinger, Inside Outside Innovation founder, talks with Laura Anne about sustainable innovation and big data. Important Take Away: Sustainable Innovation is Key!  - Maintain innovation over time through systems. What you are doing, who you are doing it with, and create creative collisions.  - Key elements: Know who you’ve hired. Use innovation audit to look at information flow.  - Address process changes, information flow, and awareness about how to support creativity.  What trends and tactics are useful? - Small changes in meeting schedule, office layout, what info is shared. Eg - Donut carts bring out introverts - What can you do to create intentional and organic collisions for the team. - How to change info flow to build on introverts in the room. - What is your company’s version of prototyping? - Do you have regular airing of ideas, instead of annual sharing.
