We already know that innovation involves openess to new ways of doing things and because we are trying to do things differently, we also need to think differently.
I will give few points on how to improve our innovative minds.
I have FOUR points here that serve as the keys to embracing an innovative mind and they all start with letter 'V'.
- Visualization - In this growing world of technology, we need to think ahead of the present stage and this does not only mean that we should think according to the trend of the existing products but we should also think outside of the trend; because in doing that, we can also bring something new into the existing trend, that noe one else is thinking about. Visualization is not only about viewing things with our visual senses but it goes beyond that and it involves engaging our imaginations. If our mind can imagine it, then our hands can provide the resources of executing it. And, let's not forget that imagination is the greatest tool of innovation.
- Visitation - It is in the process of visitation that you will come across a problem that needs solution and they you begin to think of ideas that can creat the solution. All the problems will not come and meet, but you need to go out there, take risks and face some problems that need solution; then you can now start working on solving it. There is virtually nothing new in the world today, but the re-branding or re-structuring the existing ones and this goes to tell us that; the far you can go, the far you innovation senses can carry and store in your mind.
- Valuation - It is neccessary to value the idea that your mind generates. If you don't value it, it will be difficult to run it through to the end and people will only value any idea that you're trying to execute, based on the value that you've placed on it and not just the hard work that you've put into it. If it is valuable to you, then you will do anything possible to make it a reality, so that it can add value to other people too.
- Verification - In every circumstance, it is neccessary to verify how you're doing with your idea and what level of execution process are you able to pass through. In the process of making sure that the product or service (innovation) meet the users' requirment, according to your analyzes.
There are many ways to enhance your innovative mind but we've been able to identify some of them as detailed above. The most important part of enhancing our minds for innovation is to STRETCH our minds extensively to embrace innovation.
Keep stretching your mind as you improve your innovative mind.
