Let’s take a trip back in time to big.bright.minds 2021 where we ran into a very enthusiastic supporter of the Filene i3 program – Randy Stolp. Now, Randy promised he had a very unique and interesting story about how he came to be part of i3 and he definitely delivered.
But before we get to that…let’s look back in time again, this time if we look ALL the way back in history, we see the organizations that implement innovations are the ones that succeed. But to be that kind of organization, we need to grow and develop innovative people. This is exactly what Randy is doing, and he serves as a model for not only how organizations can develop their people but how individuals can take hold of their own destiny, push out of their comfort zone and get there even faster.
Filene’s latest edition of The Asterisk magazine is all about Innovation & Incubation. For more on innovating out of the comfort zone, check out The Asterisk Vol. 9 on Filene’s website at filene.org/theasterisk. In it, you will learn how Filene Fellow Dr. Jeffrey Robinson of our Center for Innovation & Incubation defines innovation. He says that “innovation is really applied creativity and that it’s nice to have ideas but turning them into practices, products or approaches that improve upon something else is really what innovation is about.
If you know much about the i3 program, you know that it is comprised of the industry’s most innovative leaders, so this episode is dedicated to the ones that push boundaries and expand their comfort zones. The secret sauce of Filene’s recipe for innovation is not just talking about ideas but rather taking them to the next step-- into incubation and maybe even, if they prove worthy, into implementation.
Dr. Robinson works with all sorts of organizations from start ups to fortune 500s and he reminds us that credit unions will need to focus on innovation within their organizations to remain competitive. He’s never been subtle about his point: if we don’t innovate, we die.
This may be true – and Chief Information Officer Randy Stolp from My Community Credit Union is doing something about that…here’s his story.
