Great vibe. Awesome music. Yum food. Amazing location. Had a fun evening at the opening of #Generator @ #GridAKL in the Innovation Precinct of Auckland. Listening n learning from the coolest kids in Innovation in New Zealand - Meeting n mingling with Mayor Phil Goff and startups, this truly felt like the beginning of a new chapter in Auckland's technology-driven, innovation-led future. A new era of tech entrepreneurs in a city where business can thrive and talent wants to live... 👏👍🏆✔💪 #innovationdaygridakl #CONGRATS #Auckland #NZ #Ateed #AI #AR #VR #tech #business #innovation #growth @NewZealandTradeandEnterprise #kmasocial #coworkingspace #innovate #launch #workspace #newtech #auckland #funvibes #amazing #music #electric #atmosphere #love #instamood #picoftheday #smile #swag #cool #TheSweetmixKids #architecture #building #design #wynyardquarter (at Generator at Grid AKL / 12 Madden Street)

They could be accused of clickbaiting, but when a Google Alert comes up with ‘You are doing innovation wrong’ from Forbes it's hard to not click the link, especially in an age in where people seem to be clambering to call themselves innovative [quite often without doing anything to justify such a claim]. Brian Solomon gets it, opening his piece outlining the dynamism of the current innovation scene and pointing out the current antidote to sluggish returns and boring brands is - innovation. The natural question is then, how do we get more innovation? If the answer is simply ‘culture,’ the results can be problematic ...

People say they are innovating but aren't actually for the same reason I have a fake LV bag hidden in my wardrobe. They want the shiny thing everyone loves, but aren't really prepared to put in the hard yards to get there.  I wrote about the dangers of focussing on a ‘culture of innovation’ without having a wider think about the whys and the hows of the pursuit of innovative results.
