Innovation
Kelley holds that organization and individuals seeking innovation on methods and equipment used in the provision of healthcare should continually seek new information and direction to expand their knowledge and to enable them creates new insights. Kelley’s learning persona identify that innovators cannot afford to be complacent about their achievements since the world and technology needs are ever changing. Today’s idea might not be applicable tomorrow hence the need for innovators to keep on learning. Innovators should have a humble background to keep on seeking new information and not boast of their initial achievements (Brown & Wyatt, 2015).
“We love new ideas”
Berkun`s myth of innovations are false beliefs that are not authenticated by research but commonly believed by innovators, the myth we love new ideas by Berkun identifies innovators as people who are conservative about what they know. The myth we love new ideas is a bias because people do not like to conform and become like others. Conformity would kill innovation since people will only rely on old ideas and abilities. An innovator should seek to connect and join hands with other researchers and innovators to share knowledge and establish creativity. The problem with innovators is not lack of ideas but the inability to convince other people to believe in one's ideas (Hockman & Jensen, 2015).
Researchers and innovators can use the learning personas of the ten faces of innovation to join efforts together and seek to know more instead of being complacent to old ideas and methods. The medical situations we are living in are dynamic and needs new and fresh ideas or a combination of initial ideas from different researchers. Researchers should, therefore, avoid being proud and complacent to seek others to improve the existing ideas which could create new methods and ideas for medical practice.
