- Innovating around a platform can feel restrictive
- building the conceptional warehouses
- learn process is to identify narrative & document like the process of what needs to happen to an article to publish it
- the concept of building a collaborative space
- good facilitation is huge is pulling innovation
- sometimes need to bring people out
- neutral in that they can identify where the energy is & not relate to the hierarchy
- code is policy
- start from a policy statement & then build code on top of that
- innovation happens within government structure & within capital structure... whether you know it or not
- BREAK THAT
- most revenue models are built on extractive economics – to break it – think of the users as the owners & provide value to them
- visual things help with creativity
- sometimes its about talking something until its death
- sometimes its about thinking through something
- sometimes its about playing music to get the brain to a different place
- it is all about getting yourself unstuck
collaborating around innovation
- create space? brainstorm seperately & then pull it together?
- space to break things
Leola Lab
- weekly meetings to collaborate
- break stuff – no shame is not succeeding, incouraged to not be afraid to fail, & others are encouraged to pick up and try different things
- work for the week and then come back together
- build ideas up
- show up because people want to build stuff
- have the right people there
- interest is the main motivating factor to get people involved
- a place where they can connect with other very talented people to work on things they couldn't do on their own
- tackle BIG projects and issues that people are EXCITED about
when you take time and capital out, it flattens hierarchy
- sometimes even just participating in collaboration is innovative
- sometimes need lots of pressure, from bottom and top to get people to collaborate – once they are there & collaborating people tend to really respond to that
- it can be difficult to keep up collaboration, trust, checking in in honest ways with a distributed team – time spent together is about bonding and building relationship
