Come up with lots of ideas
Imagination is where innovation begins. The ability to see something other than what is, to imagine something better. That is the very core of creativity.
Use feedback to improve ideas
Feedback is a gift! It is how we can improve and develop ideas into workable solutions. It is also how innovators communicate with each other.
Ask the right questions
You must ask the right questions. You have to make sure you're solving for the right problem. This is where innovation roots itself so it can grow. Otherwise, your ideas just float away in the wind.
Test early and often
Testing early and often is a core habit of great tinkerers, engineers, and builders. The Edison's and Curie's of history and today are master experimenters.
Be ready to improvise
No idea survives contact with reality. Ideas must bend, mold, and change to meet the conditions and parameters of real life. Innovators must learn to improvise and adapt.

Hi! My name is Costa, I'm cofounder here at Innovation Bound, and I am thrilled to take you on an epic learning journey! Are you ready?
In the last fifteen years, I've worked with tech companies, nonprofits, and leading scientists on some of the most incredible challenges our world faces.
And in all those years, you know what I've learned?
Innovation is not just for people with big budgets and shiny laboratories. It's for all of us.
We all have problems we care about, and a little bit of creativity can make a big difference in solving them.
Let's put our skills to the test!
The Innovation 101 course will teach you basic innovation skills. The next step is to sharpen those skills and develop strong creative thinking habits that last a lifetime.
That's why we practice every week!
One week we might help a wildlife professor design a new kind of learning experience for her students, another week we might develop the theme for a new documentary, or lend ideas and support to you for a challenge you're working on. Live sessions are a chance to build community, find like-hearted people, and team up to tackle big challenges.

You know how you spend, like, two hours every day just scrolling through Twitter and Instagram? Yeah, well, let's put some of that time to good use 😉
We're actively working on creating innovation exercises to post on our social media that teach basic innovative thinking skills directly on Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. We'll also post case studies from our innovation projects with unique opportunities to join in (this means 🎥 going behind the scenes on our projects, 🤿 freediving expeditions, and more).
Imagine each time you scrolled through your feed, you got bite-sized training and improved your creative thinking and innovation capabilities. Ready for it?

You know, the one who doesn't work a normal job, most likely to be scuba diving or mountain climbing. You wouldn't be surprised if they were learning to smelt iron, take ice baths, or meditate with goats in Bali. That friend! Tell them about Innovation 101.
