When: Thursday, July 23, 2009 at 1:00 PM EDT Register Now Note: This is Fri, Jul 24, 2009 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM EST in Australia. A very early morning! Avoid innovation roadblocks with Whole Brain Thinking
Roadblock 1Encouraging new employees to adopt your organisation’s 'way of thinking'. This homogenises mindsets, especially when people are new to the organisation.
Roadblock 2Appeasing everyone all the time and avoiding conflict and contention in team meetings. This reduces interaction and maintains status quo.
Roadblock 3Paying no attention to what is happening outside of your team or group. What’s going on outside may bring new perspective – and new solutions you may never have arrived at without that insight.
Roadblock 4Looking at how you solved your previous challenges as the best way to solve all problems. This may seem like a shortcut and timesaver, but it also keeps you locked in past thinking. Looking at previous solutions automatically sets your brain up for old thinking and old patterns, and that makes it harder to see new ideas.

Innovation can flourish in your team, department or organisation if you avoid the common roadblocks that get in the way of new ideas and fresh thinking.
