Running a successful enterprise innovation management program can be a challenging mission. Multiple factors have to be considered, each of which affects potential outcomes. One key aspect is the level of support that an innovation program receives from an organization’s management. Connecting the needs of top-down management with the strategy and architecture of an innovation program will always lead to greater levels of success.

Innovation has the power to unlock the Energy Transition, Innovation thinking and design are needed everywhere within the energy system. Technological and systemic innovation is incredibly important to the end-user sectors of transport, industry, and buildings, as well as replacing and upgrading much of the overall system design and operation of delivering energy to power our economies.

Since a major realignment of the U.S.’s two-party political system is unlikely, we can expect partisan conflict and the subsequent debt-ceiling standoffs to continue for the foreseeable future. Corporate managers must not regard debt-ceiling crises as just political gimmicks, as they repeatedly and predictably affect firm profitability, growth prospects, and uncertainty.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

Technology has long been used to boost seller productivity, but sales leaders are telling us that efficiency gains have become slower and more expensive. This is because technology intended to help sell frequently makes the salesperson’s job more cumbersome. Sales organizations’ tendency to run most tasks through the sales rep requires an increasing number of complex systems to support.

Will support function departments (HR, legal, finance etc) be replaced by AI? Instead of looking to replace these roles, leaders should be looking to evolve them. Technology has always automated tasks no matter the color of your collar. AI is merely the newest, and perhaps the scariest, because we don’t understand its boundaries. HR teams, for example, don’t (or shouldn’t be) manually scanning through hundreds of resumes anymore to find a new candidate thanks to tech.

Innov8rs | Eight in ten surveyed CEOs report new-business building as a top five priority despite recent heightened economic volatility. That makes sense, as every dollar of revenue from new businesses generates almost twice the enterprise value versus every dollar of core business revenues. Still, organizations will need to more than double their rate of business building to achieve leaders’ expectations that 29 percent of revenue in 2027 will come from new businesses.

I recently read about Mike Shipulski’s post with a similar title (The Three T’s of Empowerment) made me think about empowerment in general. You can read his post here. In the post, the three T’s that he talks about is Time, Training and Tools. Time for our people to learn the tools and provide the necessary training so that they can really feel empowered and deliver on our expectations.

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.
