As each year goes by, businesses are looking for the next great product that fits into our technology-driven society. Having the knack for innovation is key to developing original and functional products like apps, wearable devices, software programs and more. Some people possess this quality to a stronger degree than others. Based off our Badge assessment, we have determined the presentation personas who are inspiring innovators, based off our four quadrants of Exploration, Sharing, Response and Durability.
The Creator
As this persona’s name implies, the Creator has a talent for looking at existing products and coming up with new ways to make them better. This persona is a great innovator because they can find inspiration from the most unlikely places. Like the resourceful beaver, the Creator can find small, common items and build a strong and lasting dam. This presentation persona does like doing much prep-work before delivering their pitch; but once they get in front on an audience, they can captivate their audience with their excitement and passion behind their ideas.
The Curator
The Curator is a natural risk taker. This presentation persona can easily spot new opportunities for innovation. The Curator can envision the big picture and pull together resources to get the final product complete on schedule. If you scored as the Curator, you put in a lot of research and preparation into your product pitch, but tend to act a little stiff in front of a crowd. However, when it comes to answering your audience’s questions on your new product, you got them covered with detailed responses. Your keen sense for finding improvements and formulating a strategic plan make your presentations hard to forget.
The Liberator
This personality persona is passionate about new ideas and sharing them to the world. The Liberator is a powerful speaker who can convince anyone to try out a new device. Liberators spend plenty of time researching and experimenting with their device, and can “wow” an audience with their energized presentation of the device. This makes them an impactful innovator who loves to show off their latest inventions and brainstorm new ideas.
The Scientist
The Scientist lives their life on the cutting edge of innovation. Days are spent doing research and preparation to find the best new solution for an age-old problem. Because this presentation persona is close to their research, they are great with coming up with new approaches for website design and device functionality. But the Scientist is not the greatest speaker because of the overwhelming amount of information that they want to present and the pressure they put on themselves. By finding a creative way to share their content with a crowd, the Scientist can be a remarkable innovator with a message worth sharing.
