How to be an Innovation Co-Crafter?
"I am seeing this first time - your designation is co-crafter" - He looked at my visiting card and remarked! I was about to start a presentation on how to create Innovation Professionals to a set of senior executives from a group of companies. ~ After I explained what is a co-crafter - the COO said - I want to create 100 co-crafters in next 2 years!
I thought it make sense to capture what I explained as a co-crafter - all of us at my company Crafitti Consulting http://www.crafitti.com/ are co-crafters. We co-craft innovation together with all the minds working for and with our clients.
A Co-Crafter is a Simpleton, Scientist and Saint - who starts along with people in a system (experienced domain experts) to reach to the SOUL of the system. He starts every time as a simpleton (IDIOT if you may - in Chetan Bhagat's articulation in his book 3 Idiots) - then he becomes a scientist and finally achieves sainthood - reaching and delivering a wisdom of the system to effect change that is needed - making the system as close to Ideal as is possible. In this journey - he creates systemic change along with people in the system.
Everytime co-crafter starts as a simpleton who has multiple lenses to view reality and many times creates new lenses to look at reality - during this adventures in wonderland he behaves like a scientist - experimenting exploring understanding through the steps of SOUL - See, Observe, Understand and Live - after the simpleton has reached to the SOUL of the system, he starts the change process needed - a change that impacts all around him. Slowly the wisdom gleaned from this becomes the new change that the system needed and experts start developing their expertise in the new change!
A co-crafter is a simpleton who becomes a scientist and then achieves sainthood by working with a system and the people in the system to make the system as close to an ideal system as is possible - He has to be humble, has to accept that he doesnt know and actually need to reach the SOUL of the system by learning to See, Observe, Understand and Live (SOUL) the system. Achieving Sainthood from being a simpleton everytime is a learning process!
A co-crafter takes the organization that he works with to the Simplicity on the other side of complexity - one has to go through complexity. This side of simplicity will keep us simpletons - I hope you can connect with being Simpleton as this side of complexity - being a Saint is on other side of complexity and exploring complexity is being a scientist! - The co-crafter takes the system through a journey of simplicity from this side of complexity to the other side of complexity, breaking and many times shattering the mountains of complexity!

ABSTRACT
Despite many technological advances, human race has continued to rely on fossil fuels for its expanding energy consumption, thus depleting these precious resources at much faster rates than they are replenished. There is a need to describe, imagine and explore possible energy futures that we are facing in next 20 years or so. This paper use a new integrated approach which combines scenario planning and studies of patent trends in specific domains and combine them with the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). This integrated approach results in much more comprehensive and robust scenarios. The resulting scenarios are explored to determine new possibilities for our energy needs. The scope of research into energy efficient mechanisms (both present and future) is then prioritized in each scenario. This is carried out using a combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The comprehensive multi-dimensional and multi-perspective methodology proposed in this paper using well-established scientific methods results in exploration of multiple energy futures thus creating more robust solution directions.

Crafitti - Crafting Innovation Graffiti
CRAFITTI CONSULTING
Crafting Graffiti - The Way Innovation Happens
When was the last time you looked at a freshly painted wall in a public domain? Have you observed a freshly painted wall - have you realized that it creates a definite feeling to do something on it. Have you felt a child like urge to take a piece of chalk or stone and draw something - anything on it? If you haven't ever had that urge - may be next time you see a freshly painted wall, just imagine that you are actually doing it? Doing what - changing it by scratching, scrawling, painting or marking it in any manner. If you actually do it - it is called Graffiti - as per wikipedia
As per wikipedia, Graffiti (singular Graffito) is sometimes regarded as a form of art other times regarded as unsightly damage or unwanted vandalism.
Well, whats the point?
Attempting innovation or any attempt to change the status-quo is sometimes regarded as ART but most of the times unwanted vandalism.
Graffiti's similarity with Innovation doesn't end here. The way Graffiti happens -the natural process of multiple hands and minds working on the same canvas -the wall - which is visual, available to be seen, and available to be changed has some of the elements to craft Innovation in any large organization.
Further, what emerges at the end, none of the participants - who made graffito marks on the wall - had any idea. None knew what is the ultimate output that the wall will have. No one designs - yet each one of contributors made it - the ultimate graffiti. How close to any Innovation one can think of.
Innovation need to be a social phenomenon just as graffiti is. Just like graffiti, any Innovation has an element of someone creating that initial mark on the plain wall - just changing the status-quo - that person may become the voice of protest, may be considered an unwanted vandal or may be considered as an artful genius, depending upon the impact and which side of the coin the viewer is. Once that mark is visible to all, some others raise their pencils, paints, chalks, - there comes an element of safety that since the first guy did it, so we can do it as well. Suddenly the tipping point happens when lot of people join in to make the graffiti on the wall of surface.
How close is Innovation to graffiti.
Crafitti Consulting - the new consulting firm that I have become part of, has developed mechanisms to craft graffiti - these help in emergence of new art, new products, new way of doing things - in fact new way of understanding and exploring the world around us. We are now ready to share and co-craft Innovation - and I am sure the unwanted vandalism may be the initial reaction one may get - however - once the marks and scratches are filled - we will see the emergence of new art - that is unimagined when we start.
