The Innovator's Mindset What makes a person an innovator? The key differentiator is their mindset. Practicing certain skills can improve your innovative possibilities. Innovators build on their area of expertise; they are prepared. They often have a deep understanding of a field - but this does not confine their thinking - it provides a strong foundation to build, experiment, and learn. They start with a 'blank slate', observing, curious, questioning, digging deeper, broadening horizons, seeking diverse intersections, seeing the possibilities. Extreme paradigm shifts occur when diverse intersections occur serendipitously, resulting in discovery and value creation. The future is unpredictable; however, we can be prepared for a future unlike today by having an innovator's mindset. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
