They give practical ways to increase creativity as you work towards a wider goal. See how far you can go with a creative mind-set, and be persistent, continuing to explore – perhaps part of the original idea will stick and become a great new way of doing things!

In this episode Fran and Nigel discuss what innovation and risk-taking really is, and how it can be developed and articulated.We often think of innovation and risk-taking as being linked to big, stressful ‘eureka’ moments. The truth is that change can be quite small, simple and uncomplicated. Innovating is about connecting with the person you are trying to communicate with, or the person who might use your product or service. How does this link with the principles of delivering legal services? In this episode Fran and Nigel explore these issues, starting with the question: ‘If you could change one thing about the way we work together, what would it be?’ There are also practical examples to help listeners identify their own innovation and how they might present it.

What this episode covers
In this second episode revisiting our “Skill-Kit” series for listeners as we come out the pandemic, we look at the area of ideas generation and experimentation. How is innovation best done, maximising creativity, and is this an area where collaborating with others should be a key goal? Also, where are the boundaries between ‘creativity’ and ‘risk’, and how could we think about those two aspects? All three episodes will provide our ideas, perspectives, and some practical approaches to try.
