Innovation Tip #4 from Joel Barker & Debbe Kennedy

Timing of your introduction does matter
A key part of planning an introduction of a new idea is objectively scanning your environment. In particular, the "social climate" into which your idea is launched is important at every level. Timing matters!

Besides preparing yourself, selecting the "right time" is essential. Look for the unrelated influences that may work against introducing your idea and getting acceptance. Below are a few things to consider...

• Realities the social climate of the moment
• Meetings/events and other mindshare conflicts
• Travel of key decision-makers
• Conflicting announcements
• Unforeseen changes in business climate
• Month-end/vacation/holidays

Want to strengthen your probability for acceptance in presenting your new idea or a new initiative? Check out our 2010 ONLINE professional development offering below. Our next session is Thursday, June 3rd! Learn more below.

We wish you success as you lead the way!
