At the heart of all programs is the innovation framework that Simon talks about in his book

A Thousand Little Lightbulbs:
How to kickstart a culture of innovation in your Organisation.

Most importantly, it focuses on the behaviours, mindset and bravery needed to build a culture of innovation, and not just a process.
The Steps Are:
  1. Dance with your Ogre: Laugh at the monster that says you’re not creative.
  2. Get your language right. Replace the words “no” and “but” with “yes” and “and”
  3. So, what’s the problem? Innovation starts with a problem, not an idea
  4. Explore your idea. Great stimulation in = great ideas out
  5. Prototype and test it. Get real with your idea and mock it up
  6. Share it/Test it/Pitch it: Get real, share your idea and learn
  7. Repeat. The process of innovation is never-ending
