Granny&Smith Innolab as a Service

//ONE OF THE SAFEST WAYS TO HAMPER INNOVATION The best way to hamper innovation is to follow the principle “we have always done it this way“ or to follow the footsteps left by others. Look at this clever hamster. How it finds its own way to get out of the maze. It shows us that in life and innovation it is important to know that there is not only one way to achieve your goal. That you have to find your own way, if you want to grow and succeed. Or like Einstein said: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.“ #innovation #strategy #success #leaership #growthmindset 

//BECOME YOUR OWN HEALTH MANAGER People want to live longer. At least quite a lot. But longevity is only really attractive with quality of life. That’s why people who want to have a long and healthy life need to take responsibility for their wellbeing. Health monitoring devices like this one from Withings help users manage their health easily and comfortably. And they have become more and more popular. What do you think about this trend? Or do you already use devices to monitor your health? #innovation #health #impactthatmatters #betterlife #longevity 

//AIRBAGS FOR MORE WORKPLACE SAFETY According to the US National Safety Council, “falls to a lower level is the third leading fatal workplace event and the fifth leading event resulting in both DART and DAFW cases.“ DART = Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred DAFW = Days Away From Work With these Airbag Safety Vests, serious injuries caused by falling from low heights can be prevented. This innovation doesn’t only make work safer, but saves a lot of money and trouble, too. Workplace safety is an issue that still needs to be solved in many respects. We think SKYLOTEC GmbH did a great job here. #innovation #impactthatmatters #safety #storytelling #technology #workplace #employeeexpereince 

//THE BEST DECISIONS Jeff Bezos has obviously made very good decisions to get that far. And people all over the world would like to know the ingredients of the secret sauce that has made him so successful. And some people may be surprised to hear what he says in this interview. “All my best decisions in business and in life have been made with heart, intuition, guts.“ He isn’t talking about analysis as being key to the most important decisions. And that’s what it also needs in innovation. Innovation isn’t about analysis and concept papers. Analysis may help, but that’s not innovation. If you’re not driven by your heart, if you lack intuition and guts, you won’t get far in innovation – just like anywhere else. What are your thoughts? What does it take to become successful in your business? #innovation #strategy #inspiration #leadership #success 

//FIGHTING FLOODS Fighting floods has become an increasing issue due to global warming. A new technology developed by NOAQ makes it possible to react quickly and flexibly in the event of floods. Those mobile flood barriers can be easily transported, stored and reused countless times. As global warming will remain an issue at least in the near future, the NOAQ Flood Protection AB Flood Fighting System is an effective way to protect your property and yourself against floods. What other effective flood barrier systems do you know? #innovation #innovationstrategy #environment #globalwarming #impactthatmatters #technology #futureoftech 

//GIVE THEM A CHANCE Look at this smart parrot identifying different materials. And remember we’re talking about a bird here. A bird that wasn’t born with that knowledge. But it was trained and learned. And that’s similar when it comes to the world of jobs. What you really need to know for an individual job can be learned. What you can’t teach though are the right mindset, drive, and passion. So why are people hired so often based on the knowledge they gathered elsewhere, in the past? Why aren’t they hired based on the skills that have kept them growing, that will make yourself grow? Way too many people are overlooked because they don’t have a background that looks nice on paper. Why not give them a shot? Why not give them the opportunity to unlock even more potential and profit yourself thereof? Why not benefit from their hunger and curiosity? In times of change and in innovation, it has become more important than ever before to hire for attitude and not for skills acquired in the past, which won’t really bring you further. So you’d better go for the attitude and the fire they bring to the table and teach them everything else. Help and let people grow. Give them a chance. Give yourself a chance.

//WHY STILL USE PLASTIC BAGS? Why still use plastic bags, if you can go for something that: 🌱 is non-toxic. 🌱 is biodegradable and compostable. 🌱 contains no micro plastics. No harm to the environment, zero waste. So why not gor for something that helps us keep our environment clean? The TeloBag Indonesia is made from Cassava Roots, a root vegetable rich in starch, can be used for different purposes. Moreover, those bags are engineered to break down naturally in a wet environment, without doing harm to nature. We love that and we want to see more of that.

//FORGET ABOUT INNOVATION LABS Forget about innovation labs as keys to successful innovation. Instead, look how this guy called Pedro modifies a shovel by adding a second handle. That way, he makes his work easier by also reducing the strain on his back. The latter cannot only cause pain, but serious back issues and also increase injury rates. With simple means, Pedro’s innovation makes shoveling so much easier. That’s why we think it’s worth going viral. But what does he actually teach us about innovation? Pedro shows once more that innovation needs genius minds and a doer mindset. Yes, innovation labs can bring together genius minds. What they won’t do is getting things done, if those genius minds don’t have doer mindsets. Your thoughts? #innovation #innovationstrategy #productdevelopment #gotomarket #mindset #corporateculture #doit #vc

//SAILING NEXT LEVEL Doesn’t looking at this video make you feel like instantly putting on a wetsuit to experience sailing at a whole new level? And isn’t it amazing to watch Paul Farien and see what innovation is also here for? Creating amazing experiences. And that’s what also your customers finally buy: great experiences. Innovation starts with a clear vision of the experiences you want to create and the stories you want to tell.

//WHAT EMPLOYEES SAY ABOUT STEVE JOBS People may tell you a lot about themselves. They may make a lot of promises. But what if those speak whose opinions are based on facts and their own experiences? Just like in this 1984 documentary, where some of Apple's first employees describe how they experienced Steve Jobs as a leader. "The greatest people are self-managing - they don’t need to be managed. Once they know what to do, they’ll go figure out how to do it. What they need is a common vision. And that’s what leadership is: having a vision, being able to articulate that so that people around you can understand it. And getting a consensus on a common vision.“ To lots of people, Steve Jobs was a debatable character. But what he says about leadership and vision is not arguable. And neither is his image as a visionary genius. And that’s what attracted people to become part of his vision to “make extremely cool products that are simple to use, easy to understand, and made with great aesthetics.“ Strong leaders have clear and strong visions.
