Fueling Innovation With Collaborative Relationships
As a new divisional leader, how do you quickly uncover and leverage knowledge, experience, and specific expertise across the different parts of your organization in an effort to not only retain your best customers, but also to expand your mind share and wallet share within each of your most profitable client companies?
First, map your relationship dynamics chart by learning who individuals go to for information. Who has deeply rooted departmental, divisional, or companywide information specifically focused on getting things done? Don’t just map the subject of the content of e-mail exchanges – map the connections.
Look at who is copied and the frequency of exchanges compared to others in the organization. Beyond a charming personality, who is functionally missed when he’s not there? With objective information, you can identify not only those who are most connected, but those who collaborate instinctively and as a daily course of performing their functions.
Innovation to Take Groups of People in Wheelchairs on the Beach
The beach caterpillar is developed because the constructor wanted everyone to enjoy to beach. The Dutch association Outdoor4Disabled developed the beach caterpillar for people who are physically challenged, such as people with physical disabilities or seniors who face limited mobility.
The vehicle can take these people on the beach along the sea at Noordwijk and most probably also in Katwijk for the first time this year. Both Noordwijk and Katwijk are places along the coast of the Dutch province South-Holland. During the ride the people can enjoy the sea breeze and everything that happens on the beach. Without the beach caterpillar they are constrained by the loose sand on the beach, which makes it difficult or impossible for them the reach the sea.
