The Human Element highlights the four Frictions That operate against innovation.
And though they are rarely considered, Overcoming these Frictions is essential for bringing new Ideas into the world.
Frictions create drag on innovation.
By focusing on Fuel, innovators neglect the other half of the equation - the psychological Frictions That oppose change.
The Fuel-based mindset explains so much of what we do, from adding countless trivial features to software, to bolting a sixth blade onto a shaving razor.
We call this instinct the Fuel-based mindset.
This reflex leads us down a path of adding features and benefits to our Ideas or increasing the sizzle of our messaging - all in the hope of getting others on board.
We instinctively believe That if we add enough value, people will eventually say yes.
It is the belief That the best (and perhaps only) way to convince people to embrace a new idea is to heighten the appeal of the idea itself.
Most marketers, innovators, executives, activists, or anyone else in the business of creating change, operate on a deep assumption.
