Did you ever have one of those times when one of your fun ideas came back to challenge you? You know what I mean! When someone reads something you wrote or tries one of your concept innovations… and asks REAL questions about it.  Well first as we begin this message, check out the Creation & Development Supply Chain shown below:

Next, study the different “levels” and actions suggested for development. Hopefully you understand why it was a component of an IDEAS GUIDEBOOK that I had put together for a consultant customer.  And then consider the challenge when recently I had a small group I was working with ask me: “Where do I/we fit on this Supply Chain?”

Well this week’s TRIPLE III TIME message is not an answer to their question.  Rather I think my message is to ask all of you… where do you fit?

Are you in the early idea generation stage of where YOU are going?  Or is your organization/business preparing for that “SHARK TANK TIME” regarding a new product or service.  Or are you planning an approach with agency/personnel partners that will make you better in your world-of-work?

The IDEAS GUIDEBOOK Creation & Development Supply Chain is an almost timeless visual to help you place yourself in terms of progress.  Thinking you are farther ahead than you really are… or thinking you are holding back and not progressing… is why you need to try and realistically place yourself/your group on this unique Supply Chain. So have fun with giving it some thought.
