Here's how you can thrive in the evolving digital landscape as a professional in Technological Innovation.

To develop a habit of embrace change, always try to question, introspect status quo and try new things for better. Don't worry about failure, it teaches us a great lesson.

It is very useful to consider possible usage areas of newly introduced technologies with a group of peers and share information, while catching up with the latests developments. Always trying to feed your curiosity with new information and then cultivate ideas out of this information, and doing this with people from variety of professions will not only help to embrace the changes but also generate potential focus areas. As the potential spots are defined, it is important to deep dive into learning and try to understand how this new technology could produce best outputs in global market. This process is like updating yourself on a regular basis and helps to strengthen your insight for fast adaptation-thus new business ideas!

The process becomes more easier when the learnings are shared and taught to our friends and colleagues. In this process, we not only get to understand & apply our learnings, but also gain additional information, perspectives and people support.

Additionally you can create your own learning cohort and learn from peers within industry or cross industries. Share thoughts, ideas and use cases so as to learn better and also for hands on experience.

Navigating through new skills as well as continiously updating your previously learned skills, will always keep you one step ahead. Not only for becoming competitive but also for seeing the opportunities and potentials in the innovations area, one should at least have the understanding of "what is new" and "how does it work". We are blessed with unlimited resources for building up on our knowledge, and this blessing shall be appreciated through our continuous improvement.

Enhancing your network with new and creative people helps a lot to see through new potential areas of interest. As you can't seek and run after every new technology or idea, networking acts like a team work for bringing together information. This not only saves time but also help you to deep dive through interest areas with people who already have an experience on that area. So I could confidently state that if you are into innovations and new technologies, having a network of people alike will speed up your process of gathering and analyzing new data in that sphere. This can even help you to shift through a variety of options.

Use professional network sites like LinkedIn to connect with right people and ask for your doubts and clarifications. Always people help or they direct us to tight experts

In my experience, it is also important to strike the right balance in networking. We all have 24 hours in a day. Spending too much time in random networking generally does not help and may often confuse. The trick is to find the right balance of who to network with, where to network, and how much time you are willing to allocate to this activity.

In my experience, fostering empathy is just as crucial as technical expertise in driving responsible innovation. By understanding the needs and challenges of the people you're designing for, you can ensure your creations have a positive societal impact. This means going beyond just the "cool factor" and considering how technology can empower, uplift, and bridge divides.

In my years working in innovation, I've seen siloed expertise hinder progress. Don't just be a master of your own domain; become a bridge between disciplines. Learn to collaborate effectively with specialists from other areas. By fostering cross-pollination of ideas, you'll be at the forefront of truly groundbreaking innovations that push the boundaries of what's possible.

In my experience, the most impactful innovators aren't just proficient in using tools; they have a "maker mindset." This means going beyond simply using pre-built solutions and actively tinkering, prototyping, and even building your own tools when necessary. This hands-on approach fosters a deep understanding of how technologies work, leading to more efficient and groundbreaking solutions.

Lead : To effectively guide their organisations through technological innovations and foster creativity in the quickly changing digital context, leaders must cultivate a digital mindset. It is necessary to foster interest about technology and its possibilities in order to develop a digital mindset. Adopt an exploratory and experimental mentality. Be willing to experiment with new software, platforms, and digital tools. Look for opportunities to learn how technology may improve communication, productivity, and efficiency in several realms of life. Developing an open mind will encourage learning and help you adjust to the innovations in digital technologies.
