In this great online presentation, Mind of the Innovator, by Matthew E. May you will learn to recognize these traps! They are:

  • Shortcutting - Jumping to conclusions on intuituion instead of working with the problem
  • Blindspots - Making assumptions based on previous experience
  • Not Invented Here
  • Satisficing - Instead of satisfying, you do the thing that will suffice
  • Downgrading - Rewriting the succes criteria, instead of succeeding
  • Complicating
  • Stifling - Not letting people around you get good ideas

It's really cool. 16 pages. Well worth reading. Makes you reconsider your role in innovation. Found on Guy Kawasaki's blog.
