4Ten Faces of Innovation
The Anthropologist
• The most important of the personas
• Great problem solvers are easy to come by; the hard part is knowing what problem to solve
• Must look past tradition and preconceived notions and truly observe things
• Ability to see what’s always been there but has gone unnoticed
• Look in unusual places
• IDEO has a Methods Deck set of cards with 51 suggestions
• Example: fun intergenerational waffle making kit

The Experimenter
• A passion for hard work, a curious mind, and an openness to serendipity
• Strive for inspiration but never shy away from perspiration
• Prototyping is basically experimenting
• “Fail often, to succeed sooner” [IDEO axiom]
• Wright Brothers, Edison, and da Vinci are examples

The Cross-Pollinator
• This is essentially what we called bisociation
• Cross-Pollinators create something new and better through the unexpected juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated ideas or concepts

The Hurdler
• Hurdlers do more with less
• Don’t always have to attack a problem head-on if you can sidestep it
• Obstacles sometimes inspire great achievements
• A Hurdler sees beyond an initial failure
• Goodman’s lost their only restaurant customer for their bagged lettuce and created a new industry

The Collaborator
• Collaborators bring people together and get things done
• These are the team builders, the ones who listen to everyone, and the ones who can navigate the political waters

The Director
• Orchestrates a company’s innovation efforts
• Gets people to take intelligent chances and gives them the opportunity to recover from failure
• Gives center stage to others
• Rise to tough challenges
• Shoot for the moon
• Ready to improvise with whatever is available
• Every company should have one

The Experience Architect
• Sets the stage for positive encounters with your organization through products, services, and interactions
• Designs for customers and employees
• Keep you from competing at a commodity level
• Looks for negative or neutral elements in the status quo and looks for opportunities to refine them into the extraordinary (similar to our painstorming)
• Examples: premixed antifreeze and Benjamin Moore’s 2 oz paint samples
