Can Innovation Labs save
the world?

* = no chance , but stick with the slides
The Adapt or Die Era
Declining consumer trust
Heightened service expectation
Increased demand/Reduced Income
Pervasive and cheap technology
Government scrutiny
Heightened expectations of transparency
A digital leadership deficit
We need cultures of innovation
but do they actually exist?
The optimum conditions for innovation
are actually:
A very committed executive team (rare)
or
A burning platform where your very
survival is at stake (rarer)
how managers spend their week
emails meetings commuting
16 hours 7 hours28 hours
Time for radical thinking is a scarce resource
how to kill creativity
Hierarchy Restrictive Job Profiles Over complication
Silo working Lack of resources Reports and approvals
how to build innovation (stop doing all of this)
Hierarchy Restrictive Job Profiles Over complication
Silo working Lack of resources Reports and approvals
creativity requires nurturing
creativity
requires a safe
place to
explore radical
ideas
Things we’ve learned from
setting up
AN INNOVATION LAB
Subliminal message from our sponsor:
You can have access to our minds for just £2500 for
12 months. You get mentoring on how to set up your own
Lab/approach to innovation plus access to our tools
and other cool stuff. Speak to Paul or Dm him
@paulbromford. We won’t tell anyone
the world of bromford
we are here
This is called innovating at
the edge
There’s some science to it
as well - it’s a lot easier
to change 20% of your
organisation by 80% than
bring about 20% of change
on the 80%
PERMISSION TO
FAIL IS
PERMISSION TO
THINK BIG
WE HAVE AN
ALLOWABLE
FAILURE RATE OF
70%
70% OF CHANGE
PROGRAMMES FAIL
68% OF IT PROJECTS
FAIL
TEST MORE
IMPLEMENT LESS
SMALL TEAMS WIN
WE BUILD ON MINIMUM VIABLE PRINCIPLES
INNOVATION
DISPERSAL
WE CALL THIS
SQUAD
WORKING
WORKING OUT LOUD IS THE NEW TRANSPARENCY
Globally we are all trying to solve the same problems — yet most of our organisations
keep their successes and failures behind closed doors.
Lab Feedback: I dread to think how much money Bromford has wasted on this ridiculous exercise. I would
think our customers would be delighted to know how we spend their money ʺinnovatingʺ!
YOU CAN’T TAKE EVERYONE WITH
YOU

INNOVATION IS
ABOUT IMPACT
NOT IDEAS
WIN
ARGUMENTS
BY SHOWING
NOT TELLING
PEOPLE
RUSH TO
SHINY AND
SEXY TECH
SOLUTIONS
BETTER SERVICE
DESIGN TRUMPS IT
EVERY TIME
systems work best if they
are kept simple rather
than made complicated;
simplicity should be a key
goal in design and
unnecessary complexity
should be avoided.

THE 84 DAY CHALLENGE
1: Hack your hierarchy
2: innovate from the
edge
3: disperse innovation
4: make everyone a
potential disruptor
THE FOUR STEP PLAN
the world outside planet housing
we are here
Digital gives our
generation an
unprecedented opportunity
to join this up around
people
straits of social care
People’s Republic of Health
bay of education
ocean of think tanks
Innovators ,
Entrepreneurs, startups
our challenge
is to become more networked, more
social and more agile
digital leadership requires a
metamorphosis not incremental change
