My Innovation Story - 2010 -2011

DESIGN THINKING...... 2010 - I first heard this word. It was mentioned in a Change by Design book written by Tim Brown. Frankly speaking, I have no idea what is this DESIGN THINKING, or method and how to use it in daily work. When the book was referred by my boss (he actually make a few copies and distribute it to staff for us to read), I did browse through but I have no interest to continue. Probably because of the photocopy version (black and white). I kept it nicely at home...till I forgot where I placed the book. Our office organized an INNOVATION DAY. The idea was originated from En Azman Hussin, our Chairman. We did a brainstorming session using World Cafe Methodology. It was a full day event. Ideas were contributed by eNCoralians.

At the end of the day, we identified a few initiatives to be implemented. In short, it was a successful event. This is part of our effort to introduce innovative culture at our workplace. 2011 - Innovation....Innovation....Innovation.... We continue innovation and conduct another innovation day. The target is to showcase our innovation to our customers and staff. Since the event is conducted close to our annual dinner, we conclude our innovation day at our Annual Dinner with prizes to winners. Although we had this event conducted at prestigious hotel, we are still in the dark on how to go about with innovation. --the story continues
