This week on the Bold Inventor Show, host J.D. Houvener dives into the human side of innovation with Natalie Turner, founder of The Six ‘I’s® of Innovation and author of Yes, You Can Innovate. Natalie joins live from the UK to unpack her game-changing framework that helps individuals and teams unlock their unique contributions to innovation—and create meaningful value from ideas.

👁️ What are the Six I’s?

  • Identify – Spot emerging trends and opportunities
  • Ignite – Spark new ideas and rally others
  • Investigate – Analyze and assess feasibility
  • Invest – Secure buy-in and resources
  • Implement – Deliver real-world solutions
  • Improve – Reflect, iterate, and grow

🔬 At the core of this method is purpose—the “why” behind innovation—and the belief that everyone can play a role in the innovation process, not just designers, engineers, or inventors.
