Innovation and the concept of Flow

Innovation success comes from achieving a state of flow, where challenge and skill are equally balanced. The psychology of flow can be applied to innovation by finding the right people with the right mindset and placing them in a position to innovate. Second, skill development is key, with frequent training offered by experienced trainers focused on innovation tools and methods being essential. Unfortunately, many organizations fail to achieve innovation flow due to placing undue pressure on teams to deliver results with little time, training, or direction, leading to stress and anxiety rather than innovation.
