The greatest motivation I had as a Lockheed Martin employee over
the past 11 years, was the opportunity to influence change, no matter how small
or large. I would submit my innovative ideas through Creative Central, a
workflow IT system, where a control board would review my ideas for possible
implementation, contact me for collaboration, and then I would receive recognition
for those ideas.
The one-inch dotted line we see under the SIP email labels was my
idea—very simple and effective when reading many lines of email. The dotted
line draws the eye to where the actual email message begins. I display my award
certificates proudly at my work station.
The instances when an idea was not implemented, the process
allowed for a “water-cooler” discussion among peers to perhaps help develop the
proposal or inspire their innovative thoughts. I could also resubmit the idea
at a later date if I knew of a different resource or redeveloped with a team.
Ideas were implemented or recycled ... never lost!
