3 Ways To Foster A Culture Of Curiosity To Drive Innovation
And it’s these leaders who will be the ones to drive innovation. So, how can you help foster a culture of curiosity?If you don’t wonder “why,” then why should your team? Or, even worse, those whoRecognize that some degree of curiosity is innate, but it can also be learned. So don’t worry if you don’t feel like curiosity is in your DNA. Just being aware of this concept and starting to ask “why” whenever it’s not obvious can yield significant results.
Assume a beginner’s mindset. Ask your team, stakeholders and clients questions without worrying about coming off as incompetent. Another approach is to try the 5 Whys technique, which is credited to Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of Toyota Industries. Ask “why?” five times — once to each of the answers to your initial question, and then stop after five — to reveal any faulty assumptions or biases in your initial question and help you get to the root cause of any problem.
After the fifth “why” in this simple example, we can now brainstorm ideas on how to clearly align services against customer needs.Curiosity isn’t efficient. If everything is questioned, it takes time to process the answers. Allocate time for team members to explore their areas of interest even if outside of their daily responsibilities. This could be as simple as time blocking an hour each week in everyone’s schedule. And then be ruthless about protecting this sacred time as much as possible.
Schedule regular highly interactive team sessions , where team members will share their ideas with a cross-functional audience, brainstorm, build on each other’s ideas and find applications in their roles or to the organization overall.There are many workstyle, behavioral and personality assessment tools available for complementing the candidate screening process. If you have an assessment tool for hiring, check to see if curiosity is covered in some way.
