1. Innovation not instant perfection.

2. Ideas come from everywhere.

3. A license to pursue your dreams.

4. Morph projects don't kill them.

5. Share as much information as you can!!!!

6. Users, users, users.

7.Data is apolitical.

8. Creativity loves constraints.

9.You're brilliant? We're hiring. 

These are good guidelines to work by to succeed in what you want to do/become!

6 Ways To Create a culture of Innovation!

Be intentional with your innovation intent – Frame the way you want to change the world, and make it about the customer.

Create a structure for unstructured time – Give people “unstructured” time to explore and tinker.

Step in, then step back – Provide tools that give guidance and structure, but let employees decide how best to use and apply them

Measure what’s meaningful – because “you get what you measure,” select metrics that reinforce your innovation goals.

Give “worthless” rewards – don’t just recognize people through formal awards, but rather promote recognition everyday through informal interactions.

Get symbolic – understand that mission statements, awards, stories of successes and failures, posters in the hallways, catch phrases, and acronyms all shape culture.  Create your own symbols that reinforce innovation values.

First BLOG!

Heya! 

My name is Emma. I am a Visual Merchandising student at Kangan. This is my last semester and I have decided to dedicate this blog to all the VMs out there! As an enthusiastic 21 year old I hope to give you an insight into the things I love and hopefully will one day achieve myself.

This blog will also contain some school assessments, which could get be fun and exciting or boring... (I'm not sure if I am allowed to say that)

I hope you all enjoy this as much as me :)

Demi and I sorted through the hosiery section and grouped into footless, opaque, brand and colour to make a customers shopping experience easier to find what they are after. This section is the Ambra section after being sorted.

Over 3 days, we completely re-vamped the accessories section at myer southland. We colour co-or donated and simply made the area a more pleasant and smooth shopping experience for the customer. We considered colour, fabric, texture and pattern. We also matched hats and gloves to go with the sections
