January 2021: Ready to innovate in 2021?

Hi there,

As we slide into 2021, we have been re-assessing how we can best manage our time and run our business more effectively. So, as a little 'welcome to the New Year and please let this one be less chaotic than last' gift, I want to share with you a fantastic new tool which has massively improved my efficiency and organisation: Roam Research .

It's a note-taking app that links thoughts and topics together using bi-directional linking, and it's an absolute game-changer. Check out this video from organisation superstar Ali Abdaal for a walkthrough - I hope you love it as much as I do.

In other news, I had the pleasure of attending the Lean Innovation Educators Summit late last year with Steve Blank and Jerry Engel. Steve has put together a great post summarising the lessons learned from the summit. It's a must-read for all innovators and educators. Here's one quote that really stood out to me:

"Now everybody has lived through a pivot. Everybody has experienced disruption and perhaps is now more open to looking at new ideas."

There has never been a better time to make a change to the way you innovate. As the bin fire of 2020 recedes, people are more prepared than ever to take risks, embrace change and discover new things in order to get ahead.

If you are ready to help your product or innovation team test ideas faster, gather more reliable data, and make better decisions this year, email me at leslie@exponentially.com (or just hit reply) and we can set up a time to chat.

Using pretotyping at scale in tertiary education

This year we will continue to work with the Australian National University's Experience Accelerator. Pretotyping has proven a huge success in helping the university's innovation team rapidly build experiments to move towards their vision of a world-class customer experience for their students, and we look forward to working more with them.

207 global innovators and counting... join us.

With over 200 innovators from around the world, our Slack channel is growing ... ahem ... Exponentially 🙃. There are always conversations on the go, covering all things pretotyping, experimentation, and innovation (and the odd gif). Alberto Savoia (the founder of pretotyping and Google's Innovation Agitator Emeritus) pops his head in from time to time, and you can connect with Exponentially's director Leslie. Join us - we can't wait to see you.
