Resource:How to use your UIF skills to become a badass in any industry

2016-01-19T19:03:36Z

Peter.delaney:

Overview and Outline

The University Innovation Fellows Program teaches a curriculum that is widely applicable beyond college and to a variety of industries and job titles. The skills developed during the training sessions in the realms of changing how one approaches and thinks about a problem and then what connections can be made to solve that problem can truly create lasting positive influence over a student's mindset.

Anyone who sticks to and applies the skills learned during their time training in the University Innovation Fellows Program can be a badass. As Ryan Phillips, a current Program Manager at Microsoft and former University Innovation Fellow, tells us, "The UIF Program allowed me to come into my new job, understand what was expected of me and learn how the organization worked, and then be able to sit at tables with high-level employees, even as a new hire." Ryan says skills he learned in the program directly influence how he acts today, even if he uses said skills in a less structed manner. He says design thinking reinforced how important it is for him to see problems with products from a customer's perspective and to empathize, which he believes is invaluable in product innovation and production. He has also found he has utilized a landscape canvas every day since he began. Even if he is not explicitly writing it out, Ryan always is thinking what connections can be made, what connections are missing, and now how can we make them, when addressing problems, i.e. becoming intimately familiar with and readdressing his in-house resources that are available to him and his team to be used to solve their problems.

 '''Advice on Achieving the Rank of Badass in Your Industry'''

"I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say today will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening."

-''Larry King''

One of the biggest challenges we face as innovators, entrepreneurs, and designers is our attitudes. We are taught to let crticism to roll off our backs, to not pay attention to the "haters," but rather, to stay focused and achieve what you're aiming for. However, to become a badass in any indsutry - and to stay a badass - requires taking others' perspectives into consideration, slowing down and listening to peers and teachers, and achieving a role of humility in your industry. Note that humility does not mean passiveness. Instead, it requires an attitude of understanding, application, and thinking of yourself as an equal to your associates.

A common misconception of group work and projects includes the "Conquer and Divide" mentality. In order to ensure that all members of a team are working together to achieve a goal, many groups tend to contribute their ideas, but fail to grasp full responsbility for the project. We usually split the ownership or the project, viewing it as a group assignment rather than a unique opportunity. Without owning and dominating in your work, there is no possbility to fully impact a company, organization, or idea in your industry.

Finally, the most challenging aspect of becoming a badass is finding the perfect pathway of communication to others about the importance of innovation in every organization. The term "innovation" is not widely accepted or understood, and in many circumstances confuse or turn off your listener. To truly become a badass in your industry, you must untap the language your peers speak, find the synonyms that are most impactful to your audience, and find the right communication method to instill the importance of thinking differently. You must also seek out the individuals in your field with the most power to influence and implement change in your industry. By creating the best avenue of communication for innovation and entrepreneurial thinking, you will be able to achieve your badass status, and even begin to promote other badass thinkers around you.
