Should you NEVER have fun during your company’s strategy planning process ? I suspect you know my answer to that question! I had dinner the other evening with a former colleague from the corporate world. He is the relatively new CEO of a nonprofit organization. As we were exchanging stories about what we had done since the last time we saw one another, we discussed strategic planning.

It was almost 8:45 am as we pulled into the Birrfeld airstrip just outside Zurich, Switzerland. I was meeting Fabian Riesen (Fabi), who had casually offered to take me flying over the Swiss Alps the week before. As this was my first visit to Switzerland, I jumped on the offer. As we walked out towards the runway, I saw Fabi with his flying instructor, Heinz, by the plane.

One of the first concepts I learned in a university course on statistics was not about regression analysis or significance of results but, rather, on the importance of doubt. Our professor drilled home the point that no matter how large our dataset and how clever our hypothesis, our results should always be presented using language.

In the last 20 years, the interest in developing creativity as a component part of a business strategy has grown to become a priority for success. The investment in innovation processes adopted widely in the 1990’s recognised that there needs to be something in the barrel to innovate and just sitting round with a spreadsheet and a 'me too' idea wasn't going to work.

Many organizations say they want to create a bold new future for themselves -- and that is laudable -- but all-too-often their future-oriented efforts are launched without fully understanding their present reality. As a result, their forward thinking efforts are often ungrounded, unfocused, and unwieldy. Bottom line, if you want to arrive at a new destination, it's useful to know where you're starting from.

Lip balm. It doesn't seem like a market ripe for innovation, does it? However, EOS (maker of those pastel-colored, spherical-shaped lip balm products) has overtaken industry leaders such as Chapstick and Blistex in a few short years. Fast Company recently spoke to the founders about the strategy that has led to so much success. Elizabeth Segran writes, The lip balm category struck them as a prime candidate for innovation, since the vast majority of products on the market "were indistinguishable"

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
