And empathize while you do it! RT @jorgebarba: Takeaway: To innovate, commit to try! – #innochatRenee Hopkins
RT @SunilMalhotra: Epic! "@jorgebarba: Learned: The only way to reach certainty is to empathize with others. Empathize more! – #innochat"Jose Baldaia
@jorgebarba @InnovationFixer Agreed: empathy helps us to understand Why is often more important than What. #innochatMatt Recio
RT @jorgebarba Also why empathy is so important. Cant help unleash the GIANT if others dont feel you have their best interest #innochatRenee Hopkins
@jorgebarba so our role as innovation facilitators is to help release the giant #innochatKevin McFarthing
RT @jorgebarba: Not everyone wants to be an innovator, yet everyone has a GIANT inside that desperately wants to come out to play #innochatCathryn Hrudicka
+1 RT @Renee_Hopkins: Yes!! RT @DesignFiction: Prototype Prototype Prototype. #innochatJorge Barba
RT @Renee_Hopkins: Very insightful perspective! RT @steelemaley: RT @MaryAnnReilly: Experimentation is a gesture. Persistence is a fuller language. #innochatJorge Barba
RT @CreativeSage: RT @MrsRoadshow Reduce intimidation, resistance to change. Discover RT @Renee_Hopkins: Let’s replace "Just do it" w "Just try it". #innochatJorge Barba
Learned that I should join #innochat more often. A must for 2013 (if the world doesn’t end!)Jorge Barba
This is critical to leading change MT @jorgebarba: People like possibilites, but not the action that it takes to get there. #innochatStephen Abbott
Try before you buyā€¦ RT @jorgebarba: Innovation: A commitment to try – #innochatKevin McFarthing
@jorgebarba Right – and commitment needs leadership from the top #innochatKevin McFarthing
RT @Renee_Hopkins: OK, here’s another new slogan for 2013, besides "Just try it" – "Don’t be an innovation talker." Do be a do-bee! #innochatJorge Barba
Very important > RT @mattbrat1: I learned how to fail better in 2012. Also re-learned the need to learn faster than you fail. #innochatJorge Barba
Re-learned that people like possibilites, but not the action that it takes to get there. Getting commitment is hard – #innochatJorge Barba
+1 RT @Renee_Hopkins: Let’s replace "Just do it" with "Just try it". #innochatJorge Barba
RT @CreativeSage: RT @mattbrat1: ..learned innovation itself comes in many flavors. No single industry, process or product can define for everyone. #innochatJorge Barba
RT @jorgebarba: I re-learned that innovation takes a long-time "commitment to on-going excellence". Not a short term project – #innochatKevin McFarthing
Hard but true > RT @InnovationFixer: A1 I learned to look at ways to help from the now, not the ideal as per @JohnWLewis #innochatJorge Barba
Big time! RT @Renee_Hopkins: I learned that communication is critical to innovation, especially collaborative innovation. #innochatJorge Barba
RT @InnovationFixer: I learned that there is still a mismatch between talk and action in making innovation a priority #innochatJorge Barba
A lesson in itself! RT @jorgebarba: be aware that it might not work all out as you planned at the end – #innochatRenee Hopkins
RT @jorgebarba: Learned: The only way to reach certainty is to empathize with others. Empathize more! #empathy – #innochatCathryn Hrudicka
