Purpose
How do we innovate ourselves?
This year's buzz term is clearly
"innovation" - having brutally pushed
"disruption" of its soapbox.
Whilst companies are grappling with what
this means on a practical and process
level, does innovation begin at home?
7
The real question?
Can success factors of business
innovation be used in a personal
context?
8
Creating a common ground
What is innovation?
9
“Innovation effectively is the process of
technological change… the thing to really
understand is that innovation is a process
not a thing. The thing, the outcome of
innovation, is the invention. Innovation is
deeply associated with business processes,
business models and all the different aspects
that combine towards creating a new
product or service.”
–Dr James Moody
- PhD, Innovation Theory
- Founder Tu-Share & Sendle
10
Personal Innovation - Academy Xi THINK
– Mark Payne
- Founder, Fahrenheit 212
“Innovation being
synonymous with
growth. Companies
that aren’t innovating
aren’t growing.”

}ORGANISATIONAL
CULTURE
Crisis
Definition
• any event that is, or is expected to
lead to, an unstable and dangerous
situation affecting an individual, group,
community, or whole society.
• a stage in a sequence of events at
which the trend of all future events,
especially for better or for worse, is
determined; turning point.
16
Crisis
Crisis drives innovation
• Crisis provides a compelling reason for
action - you can’t run away from a
crisis
Examples
• War > Nuclear
• Climate change > Renewable energy
• Global financial crisis > ??
17
Examination
Definition
• To observe carefully and critically
• To inquire into and investigate
18
Examination
• What are the goals and objectives for
my business?
• What changes are happening in my
industry and how will they affect my
company?
• Do we need to change something to
achieve our objectives?
• What would happen if we were to
explore new opportunities?
19
Diversity
Definition
• the inclusion of individuals
representing more than one national
origin, color, religion, socioeconomic
stratum, sexual orientation, etc.
• a point of difference.
20
Diversity
• Different viewpoints working on the
same problem.
• Different backgrounds bring different
ways of solving a problem
• Diversity unlocks innovation by
creating an environment where
“outside the box” ideas can be heard
21
Collaboration
Definition
• to work, one with another; cooperate,
• working with others to do a task and
to achieve and realise shared goals
• to work together (relationships)
toward (process) something in
common (outcomes).
22
Collaboration
• I know what I don’t know
• Teamwork is essential to getting
things done.
• Collaborating with partners, suppliers,
customers and other stakeholders to
find a solution.
• Innovation IS a collaborative pursuit
23
Personal Innovation - Academy Xi THINK
Creativity
Definition
• the ability to transcend traditional
ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or
the like, and to create meaningful new
ideas, forms, methods, interpretations,
etc.; originality, progressiveness, or
imagination:
25
Creativity
• The ability to think outside the box
• unleashing the potential of the mind to
conceive new ideas, new ways of
doing things and innovative solutions
• to perceive the world in new ways, to
find hidden patterns, to make
connections between seemingly
unrelated phenomena, and to generate
solutions
26
Adjustment
Definition
• to change (something) so that it fits,
corresponds, or conforms;
• to adapt or to correct to achieve a
desired outcome
27
Adjustment
• Constantly testing hypothesis and
reviewing the results to see if we are
on track or off track in achieving our
goal
• Test / Fail / Learn or “Failing Fast” is
THE process of adjustment
• When results are not what we
expected we change tack.
28
Resilience
Definition
• the process of overcoming (and ability
to recover from) stress and adversity
• perseverance for long term goals
29
Resilience
•Achievement is the product of effort, a
function of the intensity, direction, and
duration of one’s exertions towards a
long-term goal.
•Not giving up when the results of our
activities are not what we hoped.
•A business’s ability to adapt and evolve
in response to short term shocks and at
the same time shape itself to be able to
respond to long term challenges.
30
The journey
Can we use these same themes to
drive personal innovation?
31
Personal innovation
What is innovation when viewed
from a personal context?
32
“Innovation effectively is the process of
personal growth… the thing to really
understand is that innovation is a process
not a thing. The thing, the outcome of
innovation, is the psyche. Innovation is
deeply associated with life processes, self
models and all the different aspects that
combine towards creating a new version of
who we are.”
33
Invention
Personality / Psyche
34
Innovation
Our experiences and the meaning
we ascribe to them.
35
“Innovation being
synonymous with
growth. People that
aren’t innovating
aren’t growing.”
36
Creating a new version of who we are
1. What is the Psyche?
37
The Psyche
• Ancient Greek ψυχή (psukhḗ) term for
“soul” or “spirit”
38
The Psyche
• psyche refers to the forces in an
individual that influence thought,
behaviour and personality.
39
Creating a new version of who we are
2. How do we go about
understanding the psyche?
40
Psychology
• Ancient Greek ψυχή (psukhḗ, “soul”)
and -λογία (-logía, “study of”)
41
Psychology
• the study of mind and behaviour.
42
Philosophy
• Ancient Greek word φιλοσοφία
(philosophia) literally means "love of
wisdom" or "friend of wisdom"
43
Philosophy
• the most basic beliefs, concepts, and
attitudes of an individual
• the study of the general and
fundamental nature of reality,
existence, knowledge, values, reason,
mind, and language.
44
Creating a new version of who we are
3. Can we innovate the psyche?
45
Key Elements of Personal Innovation
Do the same themes from “Innovation Inside” interview
series work in a personal context?
1.Crisis
2.Examination
3.Diversity
4.Collaboration
5.Creativity
6.Adjustment
7.Resilience
46
Crisis
• personal crisis occurs when an
individual can no longer cope with a
situation.
• usually brought about by changes to
the individual’s role or environment
that require radical restructuring of the
individual’s view of themselves and
their world
47
Personal Innovation - Academy Xi THINK
Examination
“The unexamined life is not worth living”
- Socrates
• “Human Being” is marked by the
capacity to transcend instinct and
desire and to make conscious, ethical
choices
49
Diversity
“You are the average of the five people
you spend the most time with.”
- Jim Rohn
50
Diversity
We are unconsciously un-diverse.
• Most people, according to Brian Uzzi’s
research, choose people strategically
based on three principles:
1. We unconsciously identify the most
important qualities we are looking
for in people within our network
(often these are the same qualities
we already have).
2. We look for others who share those
qualities.
3. Find those new people through
people we already know.
51
Collaboration
• When we are in active sharing with others - sharing
deep secrets, sharing what's on our mind, sharing our
dreams and aspirations, the brain lights up like a
Christmas tree (Temporo Parietal Junction or theTPJ)
• This behavior activates a high level of oxytocin, which
is the neurotransmitter that enables us to bond and
connect with others deeply.
• How to share passions, dreams and aspirations: 
• Create opportunities to be open and transparent with
others about your dreams - and share, share, share!
• When we are open with others - we send signals that
we trust them with things that are personal to us. We
bring people into our private space and trust they will
not harm us in any way.
52
Creativity
"Doing what we already know how to do
takes the world from 1 to n, adding more
of the familiar. But every time we create
something new, we go from 0 to 1. The
act of creation is singular, as is the
moment of creation, and the result of
something fresh and strange.”
- Peter Thiel, Co-founder of PayPal
53
Adjustment
• The maintenance of emotional
equilibrium in the face of internal and
external stressors. This is facilitated by
cognitive processes of acceptance and
adaptation.
54
Resilience
• Woody Allen once quipped that 80
percent of success in life is just
showing up.
• Resilience determines who shows up.
55
Resilience
5 key character traits:
• Courage
• Conscientiousness
• Perseverance
• Integrity
• Excellence
56
Courage
Definition:
• the quality of mind or spirit that
enables a person to face difficulty,
danger, pain, etc., without fear;
bravery.
57
Conscientiousness
• Achievement oriented rather than
dependable
• The achievement-oriented individual is
one who works tirelessly, tries to do a
good job, and completes the task at
hand, whereas the dependable person
is more notably self-controlled and
conventional.
58
Perseverance
“… achievement is the product of talent
and effort, the latter a function of the
intensity, direction, and duration of one’s
exertions towards a long-term goal.”
- Prof. Angela Lee Duckworth
59
Integrity
“the ability of people, communities,
and systems to maintain their core
purpose and integrity among
unforeseen shocks and surprises.”
- Andrew Zolli, Futurist & Author
60
Excellence
Resilient people don’t seek perfection,
but instead strive for excellence.
61
Summary
Does innovation begin at home?
62
Personal Innovation - Academy Xi THINK
“Can we be
innovative in our work
if we have not first
innovated ourselves?”
64
The Hero’s Journey
“it enables us to bring forth something in
this life that was never beheld before,
namely the fulfilment in this time and
space of our own potentialities which are
particular to ones own self”
- Joseph Campbell
65

  • 50. Diversity “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” - Jim Rohn 50
  • 51. Diversity We are unconsciously un-diverse. • Most people, according to Brian Uzzi’s research, choose people strategically based on three principles: 1. We unconsciously identify the most important qualities we are looking for in people within our network (often these are the same qualities we already have). 2. We look for others who share those qualities. 3. Find those new people through people we already know. 51
  • 52. Collaboration • When we are in active sharing with others - sharing deep secrets, sharing what's on our mind, sharing our dreams and aspirations, the brain lights up like a Christmas tree (Temporo Parietal Junction or theTPJ) • This behavior activates a high level of oxytocin, which is the neurotransmitter that enables us to bond and connect with others deeply. • How to share passions, dreams and aspirations:  • Create opportunities to be open and transparent with others about your dreams - and share, share, share! • When we are open with others - we send signals that we trust them with things that are personal to us. We bring people into our private space and trust they will not harm us in any way. 52
  • 53. Creativity "Doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of the familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1. The act of creation is singular, as is the moment of creation, and the result of something fresh and strange.” - Peter Thiel, Co-founder of PayPal 53
