What should innovative organizations do? When everything is faster still, focus on these things:
- **build up experiential capital** - think big, start small, scale fast. The experiential projects are the "start small" part of the equation. Know what you don't know, and set out to learn those things
- **master collaboration and share**: the world is changing too fast, and things are too complex, to do it all on your own. Innovators have mastered the skill of learning from others
- **focus on tactical to strategic transitions**: innovators don't have staff who perform a lot of routine tasks. Each and every single person helps to achieve the core strategic goals of the organization, even if just in a small way
- **monitor global idea cycles**: your future is being invented all around you, and you success comes from your ability to plug in, tune in, and turn on
- **fuse generational insight**: we've got really disparate viewpoints, capabilities and levels of patience amongst generations. Innovators bring these differences together in order to get the best from each generation.
- **take on anticipatory projects**: one thing is certain: tomorrow won't be like today. Innovators look at what might happen tomorrow, and try those things out, in order to be better prepared for when the future arrives.
- **be a farmer:** it's all about growth, and learning how to relentless focus on that mission
- **displace indecision**: it's simply unacceptable to waver, wait, and pause. Innovators get things done.
- **implement quicker**: there's not a lot of time to get things done when markets, customers, expectations, competitors and business models all change at a furious pace. Innovators are religious on agility and speed.
- **think bold**: this isn't a time for small visions and small ideas. We're witnessing the birth of transformative new industries, companies, careers and ideas. Jump on board and go for the big win, not just the small stuff.
If five years, your business, markets, products, customers, industry and structure will look nothing like they do today. What are you going to do about it?
