On Monday 12th June 2023 I made a proposal that innovation is in need of a radical redesign. The post was my “ The Final Perspective: A Composable Innovation Enterprise Framework “ This recommendation had been built out over the past three months toward this final conclusion. Here I want to summarize the posts that were part of this build-up, that build the compelling business case for the need to change our thinking about innovation.

To understand the value of Apple’s new goggles, it’s helpful to think about how virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) correspond to two fundamental tasks in decision making. VR presents new information; AR distills information from an existing environment. But previous headsets and internet-enabled glasses haven’t tapped into the potential for either of these in a decision-making context.

GUEST POST from David Burkus Communication is what makes a team a team. Otherwise, it’s just a group of individuals working away at their desks, handing work up to some unnamed boss. In reality, people don’t work in a vacuum. And much of one individual’s work requires coordinating with one or more teams.

Criticism has always been associated with failure and rejection. However, for successful innovators, criticism is the key to their success. Subjecting one's ideas to intense criticism may seem counterintuitive, but it is essential in creating innovative solutions. And as innovators, inventors, leaders, and executives, we all know that ideas are crucial for any breakthrough.

Brant Cooper discusses what it takes to complete rapid experiments and how it can be the fast track to overcoming uncertainty. The goal is to separate what customers will do vs. what they say they’ll do. Too many entrepreneurs and corporate product people rely on “positive feedback” to make decisions.

When new ideas come from the outside, they are dismissed out of hand. The technical term for this behavior is Not Invented Here (NIH). Because it was not invented by the party with official responsibility, that party stomps it into dust. But NIH doesn’t stomp in public; it stomps in mysterious ways. Wow! That’s a great idea! Then, mysteriously, no progress is made and it dies a slow death.

Performance management aligns team members and resources while flagging potential issues. With an effective performance management system, leaders can proactively adjust and help workforce members achieve target objectives.

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.
