Delivering Stability in an Era of Uncertainty
FAST Innovation®
with Hall of Fame Speaker, Stephen Shapiro
How can your organization keep up with the increasing pace of change?
Focus on stability rather than predictability. During chaotic times, predicting the future is not possible. But we can create a stable foundation for our business, employees, customers, and lives. The key is focusing on what’s “now” rather than what’s “next.” Instead of obsessing about what will change, focus on what won’t and shouldn’t change. By emphasizing and deeply investing in what matters most, you can build a powerful organization that combines adaptability with stability.
Steve’s passion for innovation is infectious. His mandate to focus innovation relentlessly on well-articulated problems has caused an internal shift in mindset and approach for our innovators. Steve delivers both in a way that is truly inspirational and actionable.
FAST Innovation
Stephen’s FAST Innovation® model creates clarity and stability by focusing innovation efforts on the biggest and most relevant opportunities. This process drives tenfold improvements in innovation ROI over traditional methods:
Focus
Differentiate
Innovate where you differentiate
To drive stability and maximize impact, you need to know where to double down your investments.
Ask
Reframe
Don’t think outside the box; find a better box
Everyone will be equipped to reveal hidden solutions to difficult problems by asking better questions.
Shift
Solve
Expertise is the enemy of innovation
Your teams will find breakthrough solutions faster through effective collaboration and by looking beyond their areas of expertise.
Test
Experiment & Implement
Don’t fail; experiment
Don’t glorify failure. Instead, embrace effective experimentation as a means of reducing risk.
Repeatable and Predictable Results
This process is detailed in Stephen’s latest book, Invisible Solutions: 25 Lenses that Reframe and Help Solve Difficult Business Problems.
