Some take aways from the pod cast:
- PMO processes can become inflexible cutting off creativity.
- Innovation is continuous process improvement.
- Focus on what’s going wrong.
- If a company fosters a culture where PMs fear change and then nobody wants to innovate for fear of reprisal and there will be little innovation on projects.
- Project managers must have confidence in themselves to take the risk.
- Trusting your team to be experts within their own areas, Trust allows them to explore what they can do that is innovative.
- Be open minded and creative with your leadership strategy.
- Allowing failure, in order to allow innovation on projects. Akin to 1 step back in order to take 2 steps forward.
- Many small incremental innovations can all add up to big changes.
- Getting external information and stimulation does encourage you and your team to be more innovative.
- Allow yourself time to think each day on all ideas.
