In this episode of the Honeypot podcast, Alexander and Fredrik use the analogy of a Swedish Christmas buffet (julbord) to illustrate how to approach innovation and continuous improvement effectively. They emphasize the importance of: Not spreading yourself too thin: Just like you shouldn't overload your plate at a buffet, organizations shouldn't try to tackle too many initiatives simultaneously. Strategic experimentation: Start with a strong foundation (the "potato") and experiment with new ideas ("herring") in a structured way. Context is key: Don't mix incompatible initiatives ("herring" and "Janssons frestelse"). Evaluate new ideas within the context of your organization's goals and values. Finding your criteria: Establish clear criteria to help you decide which initiatives to pursue and which to discard.

This week on the Honeypot Podcast, Alexander and Fredrik tackle the challenge of democratizing innovation within organizations. They discuss the importance of creating a structured approach to idea sharing and decision-making, ensuring everyone has a voice, not just the "intrepreneurs." They delve into the crucial role of formats, structures, and prototypes in bringing ideas to life and making them understandable and comparable. Plus, they explore the concept of "pretotyping" and offer practical tools like the "I do art" canvas and the "ideation matrix" to help listeners foster a culture of innovation in their own organizations. Key Takeaways: - Democratizing Innovation: Organizations often rely heavily on "intrepreneurs" who naturally drive ideas forward. However, creating a truly innovative culture requires a structured approach that empowers everyone to contribute. - The Importance of Structure: Having a clear format for sharing ideas ensures all contributions are comparable and evaluated fairly, preventing bias and encouraging participation from all employees. - Prototyping for Clarity: Prototypes, in various forms, help translate ideas into understandable concepts, facilitating feedback and iteration. This includes everything from simple user journeys to business model canvases. - Practical Tools: The episode introduces listeners to useful tools like the "I do art" canvas for structuring ideas and meetings, and the "ideation matrix" for gathering essential data points. - Overcoming Prototyping Stigma: Many perceive prototyping as complex and technical.

Ever heard of “innovation theater”? In today's Honeypot Podcast episode, we dive deep into this concept and explore why some organizations are only pretending to innovate—while others actually drive meaningful change. Tune in with Alexander Wennerberg and Fredrik Heghammar as we discuss how to move beyond showmanship and focus on real results. ✅ Why Innovation Efforts Often Fall Short Not all innovation initiatives are created equal. We explore the idea of “innovation theater” and why it's important to recognize when innovation efforts are more about perception than performance. ✅ The Problems with Innovation Labs Are innovation labs really driving change, or are they often detached from the organization's core? Alexander and Fredrik debate the benefits and limitations of these initiatives and how they often fail to create tangible impact. ✅ The Power of Diverse Teams Citing studies from Harvard's Lee Fleming, we talk about how diverse teams might fail more often but are also more likely to hit those breakthrough ideas.
