Leaps of faith

At 3M, innovation has been built into the company culture. For example, technical staff are encouraged to spend 15% of their time working on their own ideas that they hope will one day become new products for the company. Not only do they get time off to pursue these ideas, but they can also get money to buy equipment or even hire extra help.

For an idea to get accepted at 3M, it must first win the personal backing of at least one member of the main board. If it received backing, then a team of researches, engineers, marketers and accountants would be set up to push the idea further. But employees do not need to be afraid of failure. At 3M , the corporate hero is the one who continues against all the odds to create a successful innovation from an idea everyone thought silly.

A shining example is 3M’s Art Fry. He realised that the sticky, but removable, piece of coloured paper he used to mark his place in his book had a wider use for writing reminder letters. The special adhesive used was already a failed innovation because at the time no one saw any use for a glue that did not dry. The difference was in the creative way Mr Fry persuaded the top brass to adopt his idea. First, he made up a batch of sticky little yellow reminder pads and distributed them to secretaries, knowing they were the best networkers in the company. Just by using the product daily as they left reminder notes for their bosses, the secretaries ensured that it got noticed by senior managers. Then, when everyone was hooked on the reminder pads, Mr Fry stopped handing them out. There would be no more, he insisted, unless the product got officially launched. Today, the «Post-It» note is one of 3M’s biggest sellers.

Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn’t always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.

This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas / words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.

Imagine that normal limitations don’t exist. You have as much time / space / money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.

Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself “in their shoes”. He  is the best fisherman  who thinks like fish!

1.We are all imaginative.

2.Creativity is always connected with great works of art or ideas.

3.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.

4.You should look at the situation from a different point of view.

5.Fiction writers often imagine they are ideal people.

First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.

The next stage is to differentiate the ideas in the job you have to do.

Imagine that a lot of limitations  exist.

Don’t think about your goal and the new possibilities.
