SSM-U.S. Office The Crystal City Report December 2014/Issue 10 In This Issue The Innovator's DNA Turkish Pavilion at AUSA MRO Aero-Engines America Aviation Suppliers Conference NATO-ACT Contracts International Presence in VA In The Innovator's DNA, the authors, Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregersen, and Clayton Christensen identified five "discovery skills" that distinguish the most creative executives. They are associating, questioning, observing, experimenting, and networking. As the authors examined what motivates innovators, they "discovered two common themes: (1) They actively desire to change the status quo, and (2) they regularly take risks to make change happen. The authors found that "innovative entrepreneurs...steer entirely clear of a common cognitive bias called the status quo bias-the tendency to prefer an existing state of affairs to alternative ones." Innovative entrepreneurs do not believe that mistakes are anything to be ashamed of; in fact, they are expected as a cost of doing business. "Innovators rely on their courage to innovate--an active bias against the status quo and an unflinching willingness to take risks--to transform ideas into powerful impact." These skills make up what is called the innovator's DNA. And the good news is, if you're not born with it, you can cultivate it.
