Happy Wednesday ka.
These days, my favorite hobby is to listen to 'Eight and a half' แปดบรรทัดครี่ง podcast by Khun Tong Kaweewut (ต้อง กวีวุฒิ) ka. Basically, it's around 8-10 minutes and he shares his experiences plus stories and his own views from books he reads ka. sanuk mak!
For this message, let me share what's on my mind to the point that I went back to listen again to this episode #1037. It's about 'How to think out of the box' to effectively promote innovation, which could sound simple. See what you think kaa!
Three key points shared are:
1. Ideate = idea+ create: this is commonly used in Design Thinking as its process for all to keep throwing out as many ideas as they can....what could sound dumb, senseless, or out of the world ka. Could be similar to brainstorming na ka but this process wants to see quantity of ideas to subsequently sieve for a few to try ka.
2. Slow to judge: Khun Tong said bosses tend to use their judgement skills far too fast when it could only kill flows of ideas. I like this one a lot ka....don't need to hold a hammer in our hand all the time to hit every nail we see.
3. Make it fun: He said a friendly and fun environment will enhance relaxation and free thinking. So in some situations, senior leaders need to leave to make people feel more at ease to express themselves ka.
I couldn't help thinking of government service which gives far too high importance to authority especially positions and if the high-ranking people are at the table, it's extremely hard to ideate for several reasons ka. Senior leaders feel obligated to speak (and could go too far as a solo when the world has changed and we should set some new cultures). Staff members tend to be very much used to 'listening only and doing as instructed'. To be fair, this unhealthily development could be from home, education system, and the environment plus staff's own unenthusiastic drive for self improvements ka.
When I thought along about these three points, it somehow confirms my own regrets why our government service can only see incremental, not exponential progress ka. We have many highly capable people in government offices. Yet, reforms after reforms can't be successful without leaders' bold drive to create new cultures for creativity and innovation and definitly, each of the staff members must be held accountable for their own learning too.
Any comments mai ka?
