Unlocking Creativity Through Ideation

Prashant Daily Motivation Tips #239 (30th January 2024)

?? What sets us apart is the ability to contribute uniquely and be creative in our own ways. Ideation plays a crucial role in finding countless ways to achieve a goal. Not ideating enough raises concerns about growth, as it's the catalyst for optimization and process improvement.

?? Level 1 Ideation starts with understanding how to do things, evolves during process improvements, and faces rejection at times. When sharing ideas, rejection is common, leading to Level 2 ideation—thinking logically and rationally to respond effectively. If rejection persists, advancing to Level 3 and 4 ideation becomes crucial. Those adept at mapping beyond Level 4 have a 90% chance of success, turning corporate rejection into a short-term obstacle.

?? 90% of corporate rejection can turn into a 90% success rate with advanced ideation skills.

?? Building logical and rational skills when presenting ideas is essential. It's a skill every leader should possess. In a past role, I faced challenges when a CEO appointed a relative as a director. Despite contributing significantly, ideation attacks forced me to reconsider my stay. After my departure, the company, heavily reliant on a new market, faced closure. Ideation proved crucial in suggesting a shift to goal-market e-commerce platforms as a future growth story, not just reliant on the old way of selling the product.
