Some People Think That New Ideas Are What’s Needed to be Successful

Some people think that new ideas are what’s needed to be successful and to drive the economy forward. This thinking is similar to the media that glorifies big-name deal makers … witness Donald Trump and his The Art if the Deal as one example – but the reality is that an “idea” or a “deal” is not the end destination, it’s only the beginning! Implementation is the key and may require your team to develop a new mind-set. Check out the article below and, coupled with the following approaches borrowed from Danny Ertel (HBR, November 2004, Getting Past Yes), here’s how to help your team become implementation focused …
– Start with the end in mind … what will it look like 12 months from now; how is Success to be measured;
– Help the “other side” prepare too … remember that innovation is a transaction;
– It’s a shared responsibility … their problem, your solution – but, if their interests don’t align, it’s Your Problem, too!

Implemented any good ideas lately??
