MAP And Innovation
by Miki Saxon
Innovation is grounded in MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™)—it’s who you are and how you think, not just what you do.
With innovative MAP it’s the ‘M’ that asks ‘why not’ instead of ‘why’.
It’s the ‘A’ that looks for ramifications such as the fun factor.
And it’s the ‘P’ that looks at who benefits and how.
Together they work to find the most creative ways to address markets and processes.
But the environmental and societal problems today require that MAP also to asks “who is hurt and how?”
When potential harm is detected MAP needs to ask “is it worth it” and “how can we avoid or mitigate it?”
And that’s when—hopefully—the ethical parts of your MAP have their say.
What has your MAP told you lately?
