CATS: THE NINE LIVES OF INNOVATION

2

Welcome!
Welcome to the Targeted Learning Corporation’s presentation of CATS: The Nine Lives of Innovation, with Stephen C. Lundin, Ph.D. Steve Lundin, “The Big Tuna Ph.D.,” is best known as the author of the multimillion-copy, best-selling FISH! books. He has also been a working creative (a writer and filmmaker) and a student of innovation and creativity for more than 40 years. He has studied with Tony Buzan, originator of Mind Mapping®; Dr. Edward Debono, the man who conceptualized lateral thinking; and the creative business poet David Whyte. Steve is also the former director of the Institute for Innovation and Creativity at the University of St. Thomas. Long bothered by the love–hate relationship we have with innovation, Steve has devoted a portion of his life to the search for an innovation framework that honors its heritage while simplifying the structure and thus making it more accessible to everyday people like himself. In the last five years, three key influences have helped him frame the first tentative structure. These influences include his participation in The Innovation Network founded by Joyce Wycoff, his discovery that the philosophy he wrote about in his book FISH! is found in the DNA of the most innovative organizations, and the study of a design firm called IDEO. These three influences led to a structure now referred to as The Nine Lives of Innovation. All nine lives can be taught or learned by everyday human beings—or as Tony Buzan might say, “by the everyday geniuses that you are.”

    Innovators Dna Summary

    This book focused directly on individual creativity in the business world and was based on a study of business innovators. The goal of the eight-year collaborative study was to put innovative entrepreneurs under a microscope and attempt to determine how they came up with their innovative ideas. In searching for answers, the study uncovered the origins of creativity, as well as the disruptive business strategies implemented in particularly innovative companies. They studied the habits of 25 innovative entrepreneurs and surveyed more than 3,000 executives and 500 individuals who had either started innovative companies or invented new products (pg.4). The central question that was proposed to these individuals was, “Do I know how to generate innovative, even disruptive, business ideas? And do I know how to find creative people or how to train people to think outside the box? These are questions that seem to stump senior executives, who understand that the ability to innovate is the ‘secret sauce’ of business success. (pg. 17)” Their research had led them to identify five discovery skills that differentiate creative executives from executives. These were associating, questioning, observing, networking and experimenting. By innovators developing these skills, they are able to produce services and products that are superior to their competitors. However, the book also states that just because an idea is innovative, it does not guarantee the result will always be a financial success. So, one must be mindful of the fact that these discovery skills are critical for creating innovative business ideas, but they don’t always ensure…
