Treating Innovation Risk Differently, Dealing with Uncertainty

Paul Hobcraft

We need to open up our thinking about risk and innovation management. We should aim for a really healthy construct that does help all involved or associated with innovation and managing risk, that gives a better chance of pushing beyond the incremental innovation that avoids most risk and disappoints those seeking real growth. In this post two, within a three part series, I build the argument on why we need to treat innovation differently within any risk assessment.

Developing a new framework for risk and innovation.

Paul Hobcraft

I believe we need a new way to manage risk within our innovation activities. It needs to be treated differently from the general ‘risk management’ criteria applied within our business organizations. In a three-part series, part one outlined the implicit need to align innovation to the corporate strategy and through this we can determine ‘acceptable risk’ In part two I offered up numerous reasons why we should recognize and treat innovation risk differently, so as to allow

Channel your inner sea captain.

Mike Shipulski

When it’s time for new work, the best and smartest get in a small room to figure out what to do.

Define the idealized future state and define the work to get there. Turn on the GPS, enter the destination and follow the instructions of the computerized voice.

How Gamification Can Alter Our Behavior

Daniel Burrus

During this unique period of technology-driven transformation, the education sector has so far been slow to embrace the power of digital tools that can be used to accelerate learning. Spending time, energy and money protecting and defending conventional teaching methods only postpones the inevitable and keeps the transformative power of digital disruption, when used wisely, from taking training and education to a new level of success.

The Tale of 2 Hair Stylists

Rmukesh Gupta

Valuation Via Content Processing

Information Playground

In a previous post I introduced five different methods of data valuation. Valuation as a storage service can be implemented in a variety of locations within a data center ecosystem. The picture below highlights these five approaches. In this post I'd like to focus on the first method of valuation: content processing.  This approach extracts value from data via a direct analysis of the content located in a storage repository (e.g. a Data Lake).

How Mature Companies Are Scaling Transformational New Businesses

Scaling transformational innovations in large companies is challenging due to ‘Company Fit’ issues, which arise when the resources, processes, and priorities (RPPs) of the core business are not aligned with the needs of the new business.
