There are two types of innovation that you can bring to another organization. The first is divergent, jagged innovation. This is when you bring lots of energy and new ideas to the table, and you’re not quite sure what it all means. You leave it to the organization to choose the best ideas and make them happen.
The other option is convergent, streamlined innovation. This is where you bring a standard idea into an organization and you do the work of making people adopt it. The organization doesn’t implement it, you do.
Streamlining is expensive because you have to bring an idea, and the capacity to manage its implementation. In comparison, divergence is cheap because someone capable and courageous is there to run with your ideas.
The work we do at Dual School is all about jaggedness, divergence and energy. If you’re looking for streamlined innovation, we don’t have it. But boy do we have a lot of ideas for whenever you’re ready to them.
