Being innovative isn't inherent to certain fields and alien to others. Innovation isn't something STEM fields have, and the humanities lacks. Nor is being innovative a personality trait that some people possess, and others do not. Rather, being innovative is a byproduct of certain behaviors and habits of mind. Much as being healthy isn't a thing you have, but rather something you practice, being innovative is a function of specific repeated behaviors and commitments. The good news for us is that many of the practices that are upstream of innovation are natural to nonprofit organizations. This talk will explore the habits of innovation: the behaviors that allow institutions to adapt quickly and creatively to rapid technological change. In doing so, it will assess the challenges organizations face, and how they can leverage existing strengths to thrive in times of radical new technologies like AI.
