Ingenuity isn’t creativity.
It’s strategic survival.
We often celebrate resilience and problem-solving, and rightly so.
But they maintain systems.
Ingenuity reimagines them.
It shows up when:
– A critical process collapses, and someone builds a smarter workaround
– Budget cuts force a team to rethink from scratch, and they find hidden value
– Standard methods fall short - and a new model quietly reshapes how things are done
These aren’t “initiatives.”
They’re survival moments - and they happen more often than we admit.
But here’s the catch:
Most organizations still treat ingenuity as accidental.
Something lucky.
Something extra.
That mindset won’t last much longer.
If disruption is constant, then ingenuity must be built in.
Protected, activated, and rewarded like the essential advantage it is.
I call it:
The survival code of adaptive organizations.
➤ Where are you seeing ingenuity emerge under pressure, and how is it being protected (or not)?
