An innovation mindset is the belief that we can develop our abilities, intelligence, and talents to create new and better ideas that add value. To have an innovation mindset, we need to embrace change, be curious, collaborate, and imagine. We also need to analyze, experiment, and persist. An innovation mindset helps us disrupt ourselves before others do, and create a culture of learning and creativity.

Try these to cultivate a innovative mind:

Find out what you want to achieve:

• What is the big problem you want to solve? Who are the people you want to help? How do you want to make their lives better? Be clear and specific about what you want to do and why.

Know where you stand:

• What are you good at and what are you not so good at? What are the chances and challenges in your market? What do your customers want and need from you? Use tools like SWOT analysis or PESTEL analysis to check your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

Learn about different ways to innovate:

• There are many ways to come up with and test new ideas. For example, you can use brainstorming, design thinking, lean startup, or six sigma to find and try solutions. You can also use tools like innovation matrix, innovation radar, or innovation funnel to plan and measure your innovation process.

Pick the best way for you:

• Compare and contrast the different ways to innovate based on how well they fit with your problem, situation, and goal. Think about things like time, money, risk, difficulty, and impact. Pick the way that works best for you and your customers.

Do it and see how it goes: 

• Use the way you picked to solve your problem and follow its steps and rules. Watch and measure the results and effects of your innovation efforts. Learn from what works and what doesn’t and change your way as needed.
