Ken Tencer
Get in the Habit of Seeking Constant Innovation
Today’s business climate doesn’t allow for complacency, unless you are not afraid of being left in your competitor’s dust. Successful business leaders seek continual innovation and ways to improve their product or service. If you are thinking, ‘But we can’t afford to innovate!’, think again. Innovation doesn’t need to be difficult or expensive, it simply needs to be done to remain viable and successful. The driver of innovation begins with the eyes and ears. Are you asking customers what they want? Are you listening for the gaps in delivery and usage? Take time to sit down with valuable clients to ask what they want, and listen for the opportunities they aren’t aware they are expressing. WHY are they using your product/service? HOW could they use it more or differently? Get in the habit of seeking constant innovation and you will be the leader of the pack. Start by listening to these innovative ideas.
