Investor's Business Daily, Mining for Golden Ideas Brainstorming's one of the most powerful ways your company can bring breakthroughs to the surface. Trouble is, most companies don't mine ideas effectively, says Charles Holland, chief executive of QualPro, a company that's helped more than a thousand clients learn how to develop and test innovative notions using Multivariable Testing, or MVT®. One bad habit that can lead to corporate brain lock? Only allowing top brass to make suggestions. "Our research says there's absolutely no correlation between good ideas and where they come from, " Holland said. "You're just as likely to get a good idea from the person at the bottom level of the organization as you are from the CEO...I've had experiences with CEO after CEO where the suggestions didn't work and I've got experiences where a part-time assistant down in marketing, a person at that level, made the suggestion that was the big hitter and turned things around." If your firm's in head-scratching mode, request a reprint of the entire article. |
