I feel there are times that my innovation skills are more readily apparent. Then—there are times that I feel stuck in a rut and find myself spinning my wheels. I would like to refine my skills at recognizing when I’m in that rut—and find ways to get out of that mindset of status quo. I need to slow down--step back and assess more often. I hope that as my office team continues to expand—my creative juices will start to flow again. I definitely like working with others where we can bounce ideas off one another and build on those ideas.
I can really identify with the pillar “Strive for continual improvement, not instant perfection.” We have to remember—and really believe – that we get do-overs! We can continually work on ourselves and our processes. We can update and make improvements every day. This too, is like connecting the dots. One process may not be right--but keep looking for answers--connecting other dots--and you will continue to make improvements.

Hi Ginny. Based on your post I'm interested to find out whether you find it challenging to identify gaps or potential for innovation or do you consider other factors such as time and resources an obstacle to innovation? I think you'll find the concept of PDSAs interesting, which we'll talk about quite a bit in this module and throughout the reminder of LA.

I think having a small team can have its challenges especially when it comes to getting feedback and bouncing ideas off of one another. I'm wondering how you can leverage other colleagues when it comes to this? Maybe on your TEAMS channel which I know you mentioned BTC uses a lot. Also when you have a small team you are more involved in the day to day and to Paul's point do you think that time and resources present some barriers to innovation.
I really like your point about remembering and believing that we get do-overs and it's about "Striving for continual improvement." I think this is so important for everyone to remember. Seeking instant perfection is not realistic and can certainly get in the way of innovation!
