Brian Ardinger, Inside Outside Innovation founder, talks with Laura Anne about sustainable innovation and big data.\n\n\nImportant Take Aways:\n\n\nSustainable Innovation is Key!\xa0\n - Maintain innovation over time through systems. What you are doing, who you are doing it with, and create creative collisions.\xa0\n - Key elements:\xa0Know who you\u2019ve hired.\xa0Use innovation audit to look at information flow.\xa0\n - Address process changes, information flow, and awareness about how to support creativity.\xa0\n\n\nWhat trends and tactics are useful?\n - Small changes in meeting schedule, office layout, what info is shared.\xa0Eg - Donut carts bring out introverts\n - What can you do to create intentional and organic collisions for the team.\n - How to change info flow to build on introverts in the room.\n - What is your company\u2019s version of prototyping?\n - Do you have regular airing of ideas, instead of annual sharing. Appeals to extroverts and performance.\xa0\n - Can\u2019t keep doing same five things.\n - Look at who you have and what you are trying to do.\xa0\n\n\nHave trends and tactics changed over time?\n - Don\u2019t just put creativity into tech teams.\xa0\n - For diversity, look at age, race, and where people come from, but go deeper.\xa0Look for different ways of thinking. Understand your people.\n - Product managers act as facilitators, instead of driving the product.\n\n\nHow do you measure if the company is on the right path?\n - Retention of talented teams and ability to use teams to understand and be a feedback loop.\xa0\n - We\u2019ve applied industrial tactics to human assets. Need new set of processes and facilitation.\xa0\n\n\nHow does open data change the way we create and build new innovative ideas?\n - By connecting and making available the silos of open data, it solves the last mile problem.\xa0\n - Apply new big algorithms and computing powers to open data.\xa0Currently there is no tracking of doctoral research.\xa0\n - We don\u2019t have a data arch.\xa0What information is most important to us?\n - Data Oasis creates an index of data sources and wikis.\xa0Models of gathering info around subfields.\xa0Marrying it with AI.\xa0\n\n\nTo find out more about Laura Anne Edwards or about Data Oasis contact her at lauraanneedwards.com, on Twitter, or through Brian Ardinger at brian@insideoutside.io.\xa0\n\n\nYou can also check out her TED Profile (https://www.ted.com/profiles/845) or this article on her work at NASA (https://open.nasa.gov/blog/data-discovery-mapping-nasa-dataverse/)\xa0\n\n\nIf you enjoyed this podcast, you might also enjoy:\xa0\xa0\n\n\nEp. 135 \u2013 Nara Logics CEO and E.N.
