As a leader which column do you fall into? Conventional Leaders. Lateral Leaders. Lead from the front. Lead from alongside. Direct. Inspire. Use conventional methods and seek to improve effectiveness and efficiency. Develop new methods and seek to change the rules, change partners or change the approach to the problem.

Sometimes, it is important to take a step back from your own work, and highlight some of the best work from other people around the world. This is especially true in the field of innovation management, which are so broad that it would be impossible to highlight every diverse opinion on how to approach the subject. So here I have highlighted a small selection of what I believe are some of the best articles, videos and thought pieces on innovation from some of my colleagues from 2016 on their own

The author refers to a lot of factors that stymie innovation, including many of the usual suspects: holding a brainstorm and then doing nothing sustaining a fear of failure thinking innovation is something the technology guys do One of the factors that caught my eye also got me thinking, however.

Some years ago I took on the challenge of building an innovation center and organization in China for a Fortune 500 firm. Full of excitement and passion, I started hiring some great talent and jumped headlong into the role of leader, coach, mentor and manager. Like so many other organizational leaders in China at that time, I had a very young team and we needed to skill-up.

The great problem solvers of the world are no smarter than anyone else. What sets them apart are the behaviors they use on the hunt for solutions.

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.

I have set myself a goal to read at least 25 books this year, which roughly translates to about a book every couple of weeks. I also did not just want to read these books but also absorb and internalise the content of these books. What better way than to recollect what I learnt and share it with my friends here on my blog as a summary. So, here is the first book that I finished reading this year – The Growth Gears.

When industries seek to totally redefine themselves, as many are doing today or are going to do, three of the most important aspects to consider in this innovation-driven change are developing greater linkages, openness and platform thinking – simply because it is impossible to solve many of today’s big problems alone and as a response to the new entrants that have entered the marketplace with new technology and shaken it up with a new way of operating that is challenging the status quo in way t
