Skill-Kit: Innovation & Risk Taking
Transformative change can come in many small and incremental ways, and is ideally led by the user experience. In this episode Fran and Nigel discuss what innovation and risk-taking really is, and how it can be developed and articulated.
Show notes
We often think of innovation and risk-taking as being linked to big, stressful ‘eureka’ moments. The truth is that change can be quite small, simple and uncomplicated. Innovating is about connecting with the person you are trying to communicate with, or the person who might use your product or service. How does this link with the principles of delivering legal services? In this episode Fran and Nigel explore these issues, starting with the question: ‘If you could change one thing about the way we work together, what would it be?’ There are also practical examples to help listeners identify their own innovation and how they might present it.
