This same concept applies to innovation ideas as well. When your basket of ideas is full and just sits there in the back of your mind it is a drag on your energy and capacity to generate new ideas and implement. Lots of great ideas become obsolete if they are not acted on. If they are truly valuable ideas then evaluating them should reveal that but sitting on them will only lead to idea paralysis. If they are not great ideas then get rid of them and get on to the next because the more ideas you generate the better they get, it truly is a case of practice making perfect. If your ideas are not increasing sales, or eliminating waste in your processes then they are just stagnant inventory and you need to fish or cut bait as they say and get on to something that will.
