Episode 077: End User Innovation

In the second installment of their innovation series, Becky Berry and Diana Bader consider End User Innovation.  End user innovation creates something that fills an unidentified and unmet need. End user innovation can happen in the heat of the moment using the resources at hand to make what we need. Tenacity is a critical strength of end user innovators. Sometimes it is hard to explain a vision until it has evolved to a point where others can understand it. As Mike Dooley says, the cursed hows are a deterrent to innovation. Little innovations can have major impact on people's lives. When we talk about innovation, we frequently talk about vision. Visions involve all 5 senses and include action and space, otherwise they are just pictures.
