Mini Activity / Insight

Test your innovation skills

Get a random reflection prompt, a quick action to try today, or a "this or that" dilemma to see how you compare to others. Each one takes 30 seconds and is based on the i2 skills framework.

Scientific Reasoning

Challenge With Curiosity

Pick one idea in a meeting that everyone seems to agree on. Ask: “What would need to be true for this to fail?” Frame it as genuine curiosity, not opposition.

Relationship

Design the Conversation

Before your next group meeting, spend 5 minutes thinking about the structure. Who speaks first? What question opens the discussion? How will you make sure quieter voices are heard?

Opportunity Seeking

Borrow Someone Else’s Lens

Find a colleague who sees things differently from you. Ask them: “How would you approach this?” Listen without defending your own view. Just take notes.
