Many people get their best ideas in the shower. I get mine when I am doing something not remotely associated with work. If I wish to go innovative, I go visit a museum. I visit an art gallery. I sit in a public library and feel historical words waft through the air. I read a patent. I watch a Will Farrel comedy routine.
These actions vaporize the cobwebs of my brain and take me to spiritual innovation venues. I can not go innovative by desire. For me, it is an event that naturally occurs when I release my brain from doing the daily drudgery of routine work. I change my venue and I change my thoughts. A walk in the park will often do it.
I worked with Mickey Slaughter an executive with the Kaufmann Foundation. He often said, he could not think strategically unless he was in the mountains.
Where do you think best? Plan? Innovate?
