Innovation Tip #2 from Joel Barker & Debbe Kennedy

To keep any business or organization thriving, employees at all levels need to develop skills that enable them to recognize a GREAT idea. They also need the knowledge and know-how to share it effectively with others and to implement second-to-none.

Common Mistakes We Make
Unintentionally, many of us make the same mistakes when it comes to presenting GREAT ideas. Could these common mistakes be holding you back?

• The explanation is too complicated.
• The presentation is too long; lacks focus.
• The idea is "half baked;" presented before its time.
• Too many details with too many themes - idea lost.
• No compelling business case to support the idea.
• Testing the idea involves too much time, resources, risk.
• Innovator lacks passion and belief in the GREAT idea.
