Innovation and Team Building

There's more to innovation than discovering new ideas, methods, and making known some new ways by which things can be done. Innovation also entails approach to changes so as to achieve better products and services and the modification of business models. Being innovative is simply putting one's creative ability to work.

Innovation has been proven to give every company an edge over others, gives them opportunities to penetrate faster into markets and open them up to bigger opportunities. Innovation also increases the growth rate of a company making the company more aware of the originality of some concepts.

Innovation involving teamwork is mostly on the part of leaders. Their job is to assemble teams and lead them in getting optimal outcomes. Listed below are ways by which a leader can foster innovation with their teams.

1. Trust yourself so well, so you can trust others: Transparency is needed for every member of the team more than they have ever been because innovation requires bringing new ideas and schools of thought instead of the old ones, every member must trust themselves so they can trust each other, this fosters bonding & brings understanding and makes one patient enough to listen to others and understand their point of view.

2. Work together and discover: To collaborate doesn't necessarily have to do with working together alone but also taking steps together to discover and then get possible outcomes of new ideas and inventions. No one knows which innovation would bring influence and impact on the company in the marketplace.

3. Always communicate to learn: A team needs enough communication to always achieve their aim because, without it, a team would not get each other and would not bond. It is through communication that a team gets to collaborate, work together and discover innovations needed for the company.

4. Be a courageous change agent: Every leader should inculcate the habit of critical thinking into each member of the team and make them see improvements in whatever they do. Only a courageous person would see through the lens of improvement.

Exciting fun innovative activities that bring out innovative ideas in people

The Drone Challenge: it's about putting a team's collaboration skills into test in a flight. As a group, you will discuss, plan and build obstacles for drones to pass through. These obstacles will need to meet the given requirements by the Flight School so as to ensure safety for the drones and 100% fulfillment for your team because your obstacles will be challenged by other teams.

So it is now time for your team to work together to design and construct obstacles within the requirements but tough for others. This activity always ends with the highlight: your team (yes, every one of you) can fly the drone and put your skills to test. Your team will have to display precise and stable flight control while maneuvering through other teams’ obstacle courses. Of course, you can also earn some bonus if you display cool stunts along the way. Many people had complained that it's too difficult, so most of them end up running from it and some said it is easier once the transversal had been mastered.

Cardboard boat building: Cardboard boats are a fun modeling project. You can make boats that are small enough for one person to fit in and sail. To make a cardboard boat, you will need a cardboard, waterproof tape (duct tape is best), box cutter/scissors, newspaper, something to draw with, an idea and necessary decorations, paint which is optional.
