PowerBeans - Barrier Busting Enterprise Execution
Organizations continue to struggle to find ways to innovate on a large scale and in a sustainable manner. With this reality in mind, the Breaking Down the Barriers to Innovation article in the November-December 2019 issue of Harvard Business Review is incredibly topical. In that article, the authors (Anthony, Cobban, Nair, & Painchaud) outline an accessible and effective solution based around behavior enablers, artifacts, and nudges; BEANs for short.
We love this concept! Partly because it’s so aligned with why we exist and what we enable, but mostly because of the power and potential it provides to organizations. Taking an evidence-based approach to a challenge facing nearly every organization on the planet is in our DNA as Powernoodle has been used to identify innovation blockers and develop BEANS for years; we just didn’t use that label. One example is our Premortem template, one of the author’s six favorite BEANs. To commemorate the HBR article and help unleash the power and potential of this idea, we just created a BEAN Builder template that helps guide organizations in the development of their own BEANS based on the 3-step process outlined in the article.
Leveraging many of the same scientific underpinnings from cognitive, social, and behavior psychology, Powernoodle has been helping leading organizations around the world mitigate much of the complexity and dysfunction that stifles their performance. By providing a structured, safe, effective, and efficient environment that’s quickly and easily scalable, Powernoodle allows organizations to amplify innovation and collaboration, thereby allowing the organization to reach its full potential.
So, go create some BEANS! If you want to call them PowerBeans, go ahead. We don’t mind. ??
