In "The Innovator's DNA, Mastering the Five Skills of Disruptive Innovators," authors Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregersen, and Clayton M. Christensen, challenge the reader to become more innovative and impactful. They share three levels of innovation. Level one is creating enough program change so it creates interest for people to come back. Level two is creating a new program built on past successes--like a television show spin off. Level three is a breakthrough program, something totally new. To get to level three, they outline five discovery skills that distinguish innovative leaders from ordinary managers. They dare the reader to be different to improve and to grow. The five discovery skills are Associating, Questioning, Observing, Networking, and Experimenting. In this presidential address, the author discusses what these five skills mean for AAFCS. She suggests that to develop their Five Discovery Skills, family and consumer sciences professionals need to prioritize where they need to spend their time, assess their discovery skills to see what they need to do better, identify a compelling innovation challenge that matters, practice their skills in addressing that challenge, and find a coach to support their ongoing development efforts.
