ASSESSMENT 1 1. Different strategies to generate new ideas and thinking There are various strategies that can be used to generate new ideas and thinking such as: By engaging oneself in observation session i.e. by engaging oneself in sessions where an individual can think differently. Reading more books can also help in generating new ideas and thinking as reading more books helps in learning more and thinking differently(Zhu and et.al., 2016). Keeping a regular journal can also help oneself in recording one’s own thoughts, ideas feelings as these journals helps in generating new ideas and think differently. Combining one thing with other is another strategy that can help in generating new ideas and thinking differently. 2. Creative thinking, check necessity of creative thinking technique to invent something Creative thinking can simply be defined as a way of looking at a thing in a new and different manner or in other words thinking out of the box is also known as creative thinking. It is looking at a situation or problem from a fresh perspective that suggest unorthodox solutions. Creative thinking is an important technique which is required to invent something new. For example: Steve Jobs used innovative thinking technique and combined three old ways(mobile, touch screen iPod and internet communication device) and innovated new iPhone. 3. Spot opportunities for innovation There are five ways in which innovation opportunities can be spotted such as: By analysing what best things other organizations are doing both in one’s own industry and in other industries as well. This can help organizations to spot an innovation opportunity that can drive them towards success. By obtaining customer feedback, companies can understand what new things they can try to attract new customers Understand customer’s issues, frustration and complaints associated with product or service so that changes required can be identified. For example: Steve jobs obtained feedback from customers and realized that most of the customers use their phones with ugly buttons and decided to invent touch screen mobiles. 1
4. Innovative thinking a strategic priority Yes, innovative thinking is a strategic priority for every profit-making organization because innovative thinking always helps an organization to focus on all the changes that are required within an organization so that they can increase their profitability(Clapham and Vickers, 2017). Italso helpsan organizationto spot opportunitiesthatcan be used by organizations to develop or produce something new. Using innovating thinking as a strategic priority can help companies to think differently whenever required. Charles Goodyear could stand despite being on the verge of bankruptcy because he thought differently and saw rubber accident as an opportunity and discovered vulcanisation. 5. Importance for organizations to innovate It is important for organizations to innovate because customer always seeks for something new. Not only this it also helps organizations to move faster and gain a competitive advantage. Innovating something can also help organizations to create better connections to developing market which helps them in bigger opportunities which can help their organization to grow (Adams and et.al., 2016). Similar ideas can lead to new inventions because similar ideas helps in identifying gaps or flaws in the current technology or product or service that can be used as an opportunity in inventing something new. 6. Factors that can stop one from being innovative There are various factors that can stop one from being innovative such as: Short term thinking or not focusing on long term goals can stop one from being innovative. Lack of time or resources work as a barrier in development of new ideas and opportunities which can further stop one from being innovative. Demotivating one is another factor that can affect one from being innovative as demotivation affect one’s thinking ability(Brenner, Uebernickel and Abrell, 2016). Unwillingness to learn something from past failures, adopt something new or change something can also stop one from being innovating. 7.
