encourage people to go above, think outside the box, challenge them to do and think different, share and work with other areas, use holistic thinking, keep in mind that other perspectives, focus on bring a different solution and work it to become a necessity.

Striking a balance between meeting project goals and fostering an innovative team culture is not always easy, but it's possible to achieve both with the right mindset and strategies. Empower your team to think creatively, experiment, and adapt, all while staying focused on the objectives at hand. #Leadership #Innovation #TeamCulture #ProjectManagement #Agile #GrowthMindset

1. Be the social architecture of your organizational culture, where ideas are encouraged to be shared, discussed vigorously and resolved towards creation of value - Do not be an innovation champion oneself every time. 2. Cultivate the culture of collaboration where each individual's creativity is woven into something that creates value for the organization - recognize efforts at individual level and also at the team level. 3. Develop a system striking a proper balance between autonomy and responsibility, flexibility and discipline, fellowship and accountability. 4. Clarify the aspects of project management which cannot be compromised and the aspects where we have scope of doing things differently. Incentivize standing out in both.

Shift from silos to a collaborative approach. No adding extra time buffers to individual tasks to cover uncertainties, pool all these buffers into a shared buffer at the end of the project. When people work in silos with their own buffers, delays accumulate, like taking connecting flights and one of them is late no matter how fast/on time are the rest. By pooling buffers, the team shares responsibility for managing time. Progress is measured by how much of the shared buffer is used, encouraging teamwork and open communication. Also use kanban and "andon cord" to halt operations when critical errors occur- to study the cause and prevent it in the future, and to hold the errors creeping into the project. This is called Critical Chain

Foster open communication and reward innovative ideas that drive progress. Encourage experimentation within deadlines, using quick feedback to refine and stay on track.

🌟 Creo que una cultura innovadora empieza con el ejemplo. Si como líder estás abierto a nuevas ideas y te tomas el tiempo para escuchar, el equipo sentirá la confianza para proponer. 💡 En mi experiencia, pequeños cambios como preguntar "¿cómo lo harías diferente?" pueden generar grandes resultados. 🚀

I foster ideas through brainstorming, use Design Thinking for creative solutions, apply PDCA to test and refine quickly, and recognize contributions while promoting open, collaborative communication.

I’ve found it helpful to maintain an open mind and encourage team members to express and explain their ideas, even if they initially seem unconventional. Often, those ‘crazy’ ideas spark the most insightful and innovative solutions, ultimately driving positive change within the team and the organization.

- Foster an environment where all team members feel comfortable sharing ideas, no matter how unconventional. Encourage discussions that challenge the norm and push boundaries, leading to fresh perspectives. - Clearly define project parameters that must remain fixed, but highlight areas where the team has creative freedom to explore new approaches. - Recognize and reward innovative ideas that advance the project, while treating failures as learning opportunities. -Encourage team members to interact with other departments or disciplines. By combining collaboration, structured creativity, and an openness to experimentation, you can inspire your team to innovate without compromising project deadlines.
