In the above webinar, HYPE's Colin Nelson looks at how companies launch their innovation programs, and the key considerations to have in mind. Here's a brief walkthrough of some of the main talking points. Firstly, why do organizations implement innovation programs? The three reasons our clients mention most frequently are: driving more innovation, reducing costs, and increasing employee engagement.

I recently came across this short introductory video explaining how Hollywood films use colour in various ways to change how the audience experiences a film. No, I am not talking about the simple distinction between black & white films and later technicolour varieties. Instead, I mean how the choice of which colours appear on screen, how they fit together and what their intensity is, which is all planned out deliberately to a much greater extent than most people would appreciate.

Let’s see here: absorptive capacity , superbosses , leadership paradoxes , coping strategies , ecosystems , new school crowdsourcing , lessons from “Grit” , Henry Chesbrough’s work. To me, 2016 was all about sound advice, the search for meaning , and giving you inspiration for your innovation management work. To do this I’ve dug through academic articles, followed webinars, sat in conferences, eavesdropped on experts, summarized reports and skimmed though some great books.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

I had the opportunity to see Dayton Moore, General Manager of the Kansas City Royals , discuss his perspective on organizational harmony as he opened the Jump Start 2017 conference in Atlanta. SMC 3 sponsors the annual conference. Moore said he carries the seven organizational harmony principles with him on a card as a reminder. Here are the organizational harmony principles as I captured them (the intent is on target, but I may have missed some exact phrasing): Settle disputes quickly.

Thanks for your comment. We are for the most part aligned. I strongly believe that the seeker should not be the solver. And the solver should not be the experimenter. But the seeker CAN be the experimenter. Although I do believe that (as you point out) the seeker needs to be involved from a political perspective, I also believe that their pasts experiences will bias the results of the tests if they do not allow the experimentation to be done properly.

Hi Stephen. Thanks for your innovation minutes. I really like them, especially as they are easy to digest and hence perfect for a coffee break. One comment on this one: it sounds like you suggest to have three different groups/persons: seekers, solvers, experimenters. From our experience, the seeker and the experimenter are ideally the same people. In reality, the business need owner may not have the resources to review & test suggested solutions and may therefore nominate a group of experim

If Camp A says it will work and Camp B says it won’t, a prototype will settle the disagreement pretty quickly. It will work or it won’t. And if it works, the idea behind it is valid. And if it doesn’t, the idea may be valid, but a workable solution is yet-to-be-discovered. Either way, a prototype brings clarity.

Whenever I ask clients to describe the quality of their brainstorm sessions, they usually role their eyes, shake their head, and use words like "suck", "boring", or "pitiful." But when I ask them WHY, they don't know. And they have very few clues about how to turn things around. Idea Champions aims to change all that -- at least for the first three companies who respond to this blog post and request a FREE online Brainstorm Participant poll from Idea Champions -- the simplest way we could think

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.

Venture capitalists are good at finding, choosing, and bringing the creative ideas of others to market. They have good judgment about which ideas and value propositions will work. They can project how potential ideas may play out within the organization and in the marketplace. If innovators “pitch” their ideas and value propositions, leaders in the venture capitalist role are the ones who “catch”; they are the authorities who will decide the fate of the innovators’ dreams.

There is a lot going on in the automotive industry, specifically the car segment. I will use cars as an example to detail out the challenges that the industry faces. All passenger vehicle segments have similar or sometime even tougher challenges. There is all the buzz around connected vehicles , the self driving car , the flying car , electric cars and a lot more.

The business community may remember 2016 as the year when crowdfunding surpassed venture capital in financial support for startups. The unbridled success of crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter, Profunder, Microventures and GoFundMe should not surprise anyone given that they open up a new path for entrepreneurs to rapidly prototype their ideas in front of real customers.
