In this episode of the Honeypot podcast, Alexander and Fredrik use the analogy of a Swedish Christmas buffet (julbord) to illustrate how to approach innovation and continuous improvement effectively. They emphasize the importance of:
Not spreading yourself too thin: Just like you shouldn't overload your plate at a buffet, organizations shouldn't try to tackle too many initiatives simultaneously.
Strategic experimentation: Start with a strong foundation (the "potato") and experiment with new ideas ("herring") in a structured way.
Context is key: Don't mix incompatible initiatives ("herring" and "Janssons frestelse"). Evaluate new ideas within the context of your organization's goals and values.
Finding your criteria: Establish clear criteria to help you decide which initiatives to pursue and which to discard.


Tune in to learn how to avoid a Christmas buffet catastrophe and achieve success with your innovation efforts!
