Small things can make BIG difference. For instance, the Innompic Gesture and the song “I Have a Difference To Make!” are small, but BIG things that made a big difference. They made the entire event more inspiring, joyful and collaborative."

The Loving Creator created us in his likeness. So be who you are!  And remember: If you stop learning, you stop creating history and become history.

 What I Learned during the 1^st Innompic Games

 На 1-х Инномпийских играх я научился тому, что:
• Just-built teams of young creative people are capable to develop interesting innovative solutions to challenging global problems within a matter of hours.
• Small things can make BIG difference. For instance, the Innompic Gesture and the song “I Have a Difference To Make!” are small, but BIG things that made a big difference. They made the entire event more inspiring, joyful and collaborative.
• Fun and Joy are great accelerators of innovation, learning, constructive competition and cross-cultural ties.
• Not just the nature of the Innompic contests, but the process of team performance, assessment criteria used by judges, and  use of gold coin cards for selection of best ideas and nominees for awards by a team need to be given more attention during Innompic trainings.

• If an expert meetings suggests to make a big change just before an event starts, either reject it or make sure that all the details are taken care of. To illustrate, the jury meeting held on the eve of the 1st Innompic Games suggested to make a big change in the Innovation Football game. It was proposed that all the four teams play with the same invention instead of two pairs of teams playing two parallel games. A new assessment worksheet for judges was quickly drafted by an Organizing Committee member in response to this proposal. I accepted the big change, but didn't analyze the newly developed assessment worksheet deeply enough, unfortunately. The new assessment worksheet proved to be somewhat confusing for the judges. Calculation of the total score has also become much more complicated and took much longer.  
  • Если смотреть на проблему с разных точек зрения, можно с разных сторон увидеть не только проблему, но и себя тоже.
  • A networking dinner with no sitting arrangement makes socializing easier and unites participants better
  • Когда делаешь видео запись поющих людей, ни в коем случае нельзя подпевать самому - на записи это звучит ужасно!
