#224 - Apr.2025

I've seen many teams assume that adopting the trendy methodology will magically create an innovation culture. Then, they get frustrated when it doesn't work as expected.

A truth is: **methodologies are just tools** \- trails, not rails.

Some of the [best innovation cultures](https://www.cesarrg.com/innovation-culture-beyond-methodologies/) grow more unstructured:

- Through **human interactions** and connections
- Through teams with a common **problem-solving mindset**
- Through finding the right balance between **creative freedom and ownership**

Frameworks can help guide decisions, but they're just one piece of the puzzle. The magic happens when you adapt these tools to your specific context.

Mindset over a step-by-step recipe.
