Overview for Differentiators of Innovators3:25
How MijS has structured the differentiators? Based on the triggers provided, please do think about such differentiators from your perspective/ experience.
Differentiators of Innovators at Identify Stage4:11
The differentiators at the start of the journey i.e. even when the opportunity is spotted/ identified
Differentiators of Innovators at Ideate Stage2:29
The differentiators once the idea generation begins or new ideas begin to emerge.
Differentiators of Innovators at Incubate Stage2:02
The differentiators once a new idea is being tried in the early stages.
Differentiators of Innovators at Implement Stage1:09
The differentiators once the new solutions that worked in the test environment or initial stages are to be scaled up in other environments.
Differentiators of Innovators - Common to All Stages5:50
The differentiators that are common to all stages of the innovation journey.

Beyond Brainstorming with an example of "Count the Clocks"7:22
Through an example of "count-the-clocks", we understand the difference of output between the traditional brainstorming way of idea generation and the systematic ways covered in this course.
The Architecture of Thought - Deep Layers of Thinking3:25
Exploring the deeper layers of thinking and their direct impact on innovation.
Discover how to peel back surface-level assumptions to access the "deeper layers" where truly innovative ideas reside.
Modes of Thinking and a Principle of OSI Thinking I-N-J3:04
Understand the different modes of thinking and how to manage these for innovation through a fundamental principle of Orbit-shifting innovation(TM) i.e. I-N-J
The Engine of Innovation - 3-Gears of Orbit-shifting innovation1:27
Understand he core construct of Orbit-shifting innovation i.e. 3-Gear Thinking
More details of each will be shared in subsequent lectures.

Example 1 of application of OSI Gear 1 – Clocks2:12
Understand how OSI Gear 1 was applied in the example of "Count the Clocks" done in previous section
Example 2 of application of OSI Gear 1 – Doodle4:24
Understand how OSI Gear 1 is applied in another example.
Example 3 of application of OSI Gear 1 - Vacations4:16
Understand how OSI Gear 1 is applied in another example.
Example 4 of application of OSI Gear 1 - Squares6:33
Understand how OSI Gear 1 is applied in another example.
How to apply OSI Gear 15:29
Understand how to apply Gear 1 in different contexts and undertake exercises to practice the application is a variety of contexts.

Completed the course 01. Introduction to MijS Approach to Innovation

Description

Is breakthrough innovation a stroke of luck, or a replicable discipline? This course moves you beyond the randomness of traditional brainstorming into a structured, high-impact approach.

Designed for leaders and individuals seeking to make a disproportionate impact, we explore the mechanics of "systematic-ness" in creativity.

While most traditional methods excel at solving problems that are already visible, they often overlook the other critical half of the equation: identifying the right areas to innovate.

Drawing on the Base Method in the MijS approach, Orbit-shifting innovation™, you will learn to access deeper layers of thinking and gain familiarity with its core techniques like the 3-Gear Thinking.

You will start with knowing how innovators think differently and leave with the capability to solve complex problems and identify unique areas to innovate, transforming your idea generation from accidental to intentional and systematic.

It is already proven that this approach has at least doubled the number and impact of the ideas generated through other approaches.

However, the approach is dynamic, not dogmatic. We believe innovation thrives on diverse perspectives and context-building. We invite you to bring your own insights to the table via the Q&A or any other modes of interactions.

Join us to enhance your innovation journeys and eventually your abilities to innovate systematically!

Who this course is for:

People who wish to innovate and enhance the probability of success of their innovation efforts
Individuals who wish to innovate and make a disproportionate impact to the world
Team Leaders who wish to lead a team to drive an innovation project
Department / Function/ Business / Organisation Leaders who wish to foster a culture of innovationTeam Leaders who wish to lead a team to drive an innovation project
Innovation enthusiasts who are just curious to know more / understand innovation from a different perspective
People who are willing to go beyond the traditional methods like brainstorming, KAIZEN, Six-Sigma etc.
