This blog is a starting point for a series of blogs that discusses innovation traps i.e. typical obstacles and challenges that make it difficult to develop new radical innovations and hinder business renewal. Innovation traps are discussed briefly which is followed by some ideas that organization can do to overcome these traps. This first blog gives a brief background to this topic and focuses on the first trap, which I call a portfolio trap. Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:30:34 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1221 Natural Tendencies Analysis is based on the personality type theory of Carl Gustav Jung. His theories are widely used as basis for personality type analysis, stress prevention and team building. The Natural Tendencies Analysis (NTA) helps you to understand your own strengths and weaknesses through understanding your own personality. It also helps you to understand the behavioral preferences of your colleges and family members. This fundamental understanding opens a vast amount of new possibilities in business and private life.

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:49:52 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1219 Everyone is different. The older you get more difficult it becomes to change your behavior and accept behavior of others which is different to yours. The first step of the NTA (Natural Tendencies Analysis) is to understand yourself. By knowing how you tick you will be able to understand how your colleges, your husband or your wife tick. You still might not agree with them or you may still find their behavior "strange" or "not my cup of tea" but you can accept it and even smile at it as you know why they behave as they do. Once the whole team (in work or at home) understands their behavioral tendencies and the tendencies of the other team members you can start utilizing the real strengths of the team - together.

Similarly you cross your arms either left or right arm on top. Also you probably cross your hands either left of right thumb on top. Most of the time, or actually nearly every time, you tend to do it the same way. Could you write with your other hand or could you cross your arms or hands the other way? Of course you could, but most likely it would feel a bit strange or uncomfortable to you. Actually let's try it.

If you get the normal consultant it is OK.

Wed, 03 Oct 2012 16:12:12 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1200 What is the best internet marketing advice you have heard? I recently asked this question in LinkedIn "Answers" and got plenty of great feedback (you can have a look at the answers by clicking the link in the end of this post). Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:39:11 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1198 What is actually e-commerce? Many people think that e-commerce is pretty much the same as opening a webshop. For me e-commerce is much more, it is the whole system that enables selling your products and services online. That includes the digital point of sale, free digital content and digital content distribution. All of these can be under a single website or actually more often they are on several independent websites. What do I mean with these parts of e-commerce? Let me explain it a bit. Mon, 20 Aug 2012 10:19:21 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1192 …this blog is continuation to the Tribal Leadership series. The previous articles discussed the foundation of the tribal leadership as well as introduced you to the stages 1 through 5 in detail. Wed, 13 Jun 2012 11:24:07 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1190 …this blog is continuation to the Tribal Leadership series. The previous article about the stages 3 and 4 can be found here: "Tribal Leadership - improving your business culture part II". This part describes the tribal stage 5. The tribal stage 5 is the highest cultural stage known today. The stage 5 cultures outperform all the other levels on a long run. Tue, 22 May 2012 11:46:05 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1187 …this blog is a continuation to the Tribal Leadership series. The previous article about the stages 1 and 2 can be found here: "Tribal Leadership - improving your business culture part I". This part describes the tribal stages 3 and 4. It makes sense to discuss these two stages at the same time because the leap from stage 3 to stage 4 has the biggest potential for improving your result i.e. your bottom line. So, pay attention and think a little bit on which stage you or your team could be. But: be honest, most of the people rank themselves (as an individual or team) half or one stage higher than they really are. Thu, 10 May 2012 10:18:15 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1186 …continues from the last week's blog "Does your business focus on meaningless details and micro management?". Fri, 04 May 2012 12:49:49 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1184 The purpose of the workshop is to train participants to use concrete tools that help to create novel development ideas and to develop solid development concepts as well as to solve technical problems in innovative way. Participants learn creativity tools, idea generation methods and concept development skills that develop organization's innovation capability in the long run. Wed, 02 May 2012 11:17:53 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1182 Reporting, filling in the figures is various sheets and applications, having meetings and teleconferences to discuss the figures over and over again. Being like a cog in large machine or factory. Feeling numb, brainless and non-creative. Does this sound familiar to you? If not, you can consider yourself lucky. Many medium and large companies often live in a factory culture and in deep mistrust. This has resulted an overblown structures of command and control and related reporting. Sometimes it goes so far that there is hardly enough time to do something productive which would have an real impact to the bottom line. The overblown reporting sure has a large impact to the bottom line - unfortunately a negative impact.

Often it could be a feeling of finished tasks, work well done and completed. Many of us see the endless list of work tasks that we haven't done yet. This happens both in our professional and in our private life.

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 09:54:17 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1169 Have you ever thought about famous musicians how they get people to follow them - what in their performance does make them leaders to us? You can recognise their specific style, the way they use cords, phrases and rhythms. Some are fast with their fingers showing great mastering of their instrument, other use great variety of modified cords; third ones have talent to create hypnotic rhythms catching the audience. In common, they all utilize the potential of their natural talents as musicians.

Yesterday I was restless, stressed and could not concentrate properly. Today, when browsing through some books in search of new inspirations for a team building workshop I'm hosting next week I feel great and think I could write a book on the subject myself! Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:32:02 +0300 http://www.innotiimi.com/site/?lan=3&mode=tiedotteet&tiedote_id=1163 In Innotiimi we have rotating leadership on many levels. Having done this several years, many of our consultants have been team leaders and managing directors in the company and are still working as consultants. At the moment, since the start of this year, we are two managing directors in a shared leadership position. Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:13:07 +0300
