I stumbled upon Dragous' Blog when I was seeking inspiration from various sources. One of these sources was the book Change By Design, by Tim Brown. It is a book about how design thinking transforms organizations and inspires innovation. One of the questions we can ask is: How might our customers help us innovate? Having facilitated a class on service at a junior college yesterday, I can attest that innovation can be simple things, not just good, evolving or best practices.
Tuesdays with Morrie was a bestselling book (and subsequently made into a tele-movie) I was influenced by. It is a touching book about an ailing teacher and his last weeks with his former student.
Ian has blog post titles that got me thinking about Lists and Innovative Thinking. He had a section called Friday with Friends. Ian has his variations: Word Wednesday, Friday Five, and Monday Minute. And, his website is really funny especially his article on Facebook and Twitter users (in the preceding post).
How about these suggestions? Mondays with Mom; Tuesdays with Training; Washing on Wednesdays; Thankful for Thursdays; Fridays with Friends; Saturdays with Sports; Sun-tanning on Sundays?
Alternatively, you can make it more sophisticated and delectable with saccharin tiles like: Memorable Monday, Touring on Tuesday, Walking on Wednesday, Tracking Trends on Thursday, Fellowship on Friday, Socialising Saturday, and Serendipitous Sunday.
Toss in vehement verbs, atrocious adverbs and nonsensical nouns. The idea is to generate action from an unusual list. Somewhere down the line would be the tribe called the Wile. E. Coyote, Weekend Warriors’ Willing Workouts. Have a great week and weekend all!
