Business Innovation: Will Your ‘Outside the Box’ Idea Truly Works? You Need to Blow Up the Box!

Often when it comes to business innovation, the go-to phrase seems to be thinking outside the box. Even though it is the box that may be keeping us all grounded, it really is that box that is preventing us from soaring. Using the excuse that change only works to cause a disruption is just that, an excuse. Thinking outside the box is what leads to bigger and better things. While you can NEVER lose sight of where you came from, soaring high above that plane is the ultimate freedom!

Not only do we need to start thinking outside the box, we need to learn to climb on top of that box, and while standing on it, blow it up from underneath our feet! Yes, this takes courage – after all, it is a big, heavy box – but that is really the only way that you can see if your idea is going to work. Some even suggest that the concept of innovation is a like a spinning wheel and we need to get on that wheel while it’s moving and then we need to very quickly learn how to stay on that wheel.

Maybe thinking outside the box means implementing new innovation strategies within your organization – efficiency planning, or even a complete overhaul of your system. It really doesn’t matter what project or innovation you are working on, the principle remains the same – changing the perspective and looking at new ideas is the greatest way to cause a positive disruption – one that can yield incredible results.

Where do these ideas come from? They need to come from everywhere and everyone within your organization. Relying solely on the minds at the top of the institutional pyramid will only give you one perspective (again, this is staying firmly rooted within the box). Move forwards by moving outwards and attempt to garner ideas from within every facet of your employee structure. Going to the ground can seriously impact your bottom line when it comes to efficiency especially.

It’s our connection to the box that holds us all down – it holds too much power over you. Stop letting that box weigh your down: blow it up!
