Ideas are always a creative response to a problem without a present-day solution. People dream them up as the wonder what they might do to solve their problems, and they draw on inspirations from their environments around them to do so. What people forget is that neither their problems, nor the inspirations from which they draw solutions, are exclusively theirs. Everyone else is likely to face almost the same challenges. And they’ll certainly come up with similar solutions.

This, more than any other reason, is why you often see the same idea surfacing in two or more places at once, even when the creative people proposing the solution don’t know each other at all.

It seems logical to conclude, given this, that if you want to increase the success of your innovation efforts, getting more ideas will probably not have the result you’re looking for.

Many people argue that what is actually needed is a systematic process which allows creative people to generate a track record of big product hits. This follows from the fact that it isn’t ideas which are important to the innovation process, but the execution which follows them. Clearly, there are limited resources available in any organisation, so focussing on big ideas must be a good idea.

This, of course, is the strategy that’s been followed by Apple, and other companies of its ilk. First, it released iPod, a massive hit that redefined the way that music is sold. Then it sold iPhone, which makes the name of the game in telephony about Apps, rather than features. And recently, it’s released iPad, which it hopes will redefine the way customer acquire and use the products of the liberal arts.

None of these products are especially innovative, and they certainly aren’t category unique. It is hard to say they are, by themselves, innovative. But they are designed beautifully, and each has built its success on the last.

This, in the end, is the real sign that a company has a successful innovation effort under way.

Would you like to create a track record of hit products? The easiest way to do it is create an innovation program with laser-sharp focus on what works. James Gardner’s free online innovation book will help you start.

If I had to pick one key to success for any business, it would be this: create a service culture. However, what many companies fail to realize is that a service culture is more than serving the customer. It’s also about serving each other.

A manager should make it clear to each employee: your job is not to serve me. In fact, it’s the opposite…my job is to serve you. My job is to give you the tools you need to serve our customers, but more importantly, I must create a climate where we enjoy serving each other.

Of course, the key to serving each other is built around two core values: mutual respect and working together.

That’s what A Peacock in the Land of Penguins is all about. It’s a short story that author, BJ Gallagher, has told in an amazing way, about how to create a land of opportunity in any organization. In fact, Ken Blanchard…the best selling author of The One Minute Manager said this:
“Every once in a while a small book comes along that deals with a profound subject in a simple, elegant way. A Peacock in the Land of Penguins is that book!”

And the results speak volumes. Over 300,000 copies have been sold to organizations around the world to reinforce that “attitude” of mutual respect and working together that is critical for any business or organization to succeed.

Click here to read more about our featured book today as well as 2 more that I think combine to make a well-rounded set for any business …. A Peacock in a Land of Penguins, Customer Love and The Richest Man in Town

Have you ever had problems in remembering names, numbers, grocery items needed, and other little details such as the location where you placed your car keys this morning? The truth is, we all have our moments of forgetting little bits of information that matters at the exact moment we need them.

But did you know that memorization techniques boil down to two basic things? These are ways on how you focus your attention and create a meaning in correspondence to the information or object you store in your memory. With memory techniques, you encourage your mind to be creative while utilizing your innate memory skills.

One of the proven memory techniques known today is called the Link Method. As mentioned above, enhancing your memory skills require you to become creative and imaginative which are considered very strong memory boosters when exercised correctly.

Using the Link approach, it has been proven that an object associated to the next on the list is less confusing to do, not to mention the order of the information included are also memorized easier. The list of items to be memorized can easily be remembered no matter how irrelevant they are from one another. With continuous practice and diligence, Link Method allows you to remember things from the top of your head without getting stuck in frustration in the middle of urgency. Now isn’t that a good thing? Of course it is.

Let me give you an example. Say you need to remember five items. We can take the items as the following; a cat, rice, hat, pigeon and fence. They are entirely different and have no relevance from one another but remembering these bits of information is a piece of cake with pure Link Method. What you need to do is have your imagination working by starting on the cat. Imagine it as a Siamese cat that eats rice since he’s from Siam. The rice is served in a hat but then, a pigeon comes along and starts to eat the rice. Seeing this, the cat chases the pigeon away and ends up landing in the fence.

What you can do in addition to the scene above is to create details for each character. Try to imagine the colors, location and other important details as you construct the scene. Experts found out that the memory skills of a person work very well with colors. However, it is not so good when it comes to shapes.

Going back to the scene we’ve created, plus points would go for funnier imagination. Humans respond and capture vivid images that are unique and funny. It may sound crazy but it’s proven to work. Imagination and memory is a good pair that works excellent together. Using it takes less of an effort but requires enthusiasm and willingness.

These are just basic factors you can learn out of the entire section of memory techniques. Find out more at http://bit.ly/dfSfFy

Traditional sales training teaches that the sales process starts with needs. Find out what your prospects need and then give it to them. The trouble is that it isn’t strictly true. Your customers are not motivated to buy what they need. Your customers are motivated to buy what they want. >>> read more
