I
recently was reading a new book from McGraw-Hill, Red Thread Thinking: Weaving Together Connections for Brilliant
Ideas and Profitable Innovation, by Debra Kaye with Karen Kelly. It offered
five strategies that people can implement to attain greater creativity and
production. Here they are;
Red Thread One: “Innovation-
It’s All in Your Head” – We can fire up our brains to become better at
observing and interpretation what we see around us.
Red Thread Two: “Everything Old
is New” – Take a fresh look at the past to gain remarkable advantage
Red Thread Three: “People: The
Strangest Animals in the Zoo” – Know what makes your market tick, and you’ll
know what makes them spend
Red Thread Four: “What You See
Is What You Get” – Learn how to create an entirely new accessible “language” to
make your product stand out and be universally understood
Red Thread Five: “The Force of
Passion” – Preserve, review, and refine your ideas without compromising your
integrity or core beliefs
The
ideas in the book come from Debra Kaye, a global innovation and trends expert
specializing in brand strategy and innovation for consumer businesses. Her
clients have included Apple, Mars, Colgate, McDonalds, American Express,
Kimberly-Clark and many more. A frequent commenter on American Public Radio’s
“Marketplace” and contributor to Fast
Company, she is partner at the innovation consultancy Lucule and former CEO
of TBWA\Italy.
Book Excerpt:
“Just as people are destined to meet and connect, I believe the best innovations are the result of unexpected connections among history, technology, culture, behavior, needs, and emotions. Their destiny to meet is within our reach. Red Threads are the connecting strands of relationships in which knowledge, memories, and insights are woven together to create multi-textured fabric of seamless interconnectivity. Red Threads can also connect new products and services with consumer desires, and “despite the time, place, or circumstances are destined to meet” and succeed. Innovations that evoke a “that’s what I’ve been looking for” response in consumers will capture an audience.”
