Step up the ladder: A visual infographic to help you start innovation

A metaphor and visual model can help us get started with innovation and the important, frequent, and necessary conversations with others about what we are working on. I’ve whipped up an innovation ladder model infographic to help you think about how to have your conversation with others regarding the innovation you are working on. The goal is to be able to move to a higher level in the innovation process…keep moving up the ladder with our project. Conversations with others can provide you with different valuable insight at each step of the ladder. Think about this. Where on the ladder are you with the project you are working on? Are you just getting started with thinking about the challenge or are you higher up with some ideas already? How can you share with others where you are at with the project in a way that they can give you feedback that can help you move up to a higher level of the ladder?
