Collaborations form the essence of discovery, relationships, innovation and new knowledge exchange. As we move increasingly towards more open innovation hubs and increased ecosystem management the recognition is that many of the challenges and problems have not just become too complex to tackle alone, or even in a single industry but require cross-sector innovation (ecosystem designed) collaboration (CSIC) in consortia-developed approaches.

Product managers and project managers are two distinct roles. To launch new products successfully, they play a crucial role and must collaborate tightly. Product managers set the vision for the product, gather requirements and prioritize them, but it’s the project manager’s job to act upon this vision and make sure that it gets executed on time and within budget.

On March 30, 2023, I participated in the Technology and Anti-Corruption panel at the 2nd Summit for Democracy: Indo-Pacific Regional Meeting in Seoul. The summit focused on the challenges and progress in addressing corruption. I prepared these remarks for the summit. Why do people hire corruption? In an attempt to solve any problem, we must first ask why the problem exists in the first place?

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.

Taiichi Ohno, the father of the Toyota Production System, once said, “Without Standard Work, there is no Kaizen.” That’s a pretty bold statement, but when you think about the continuous improvement cycle, it makes a lot of sense. How can you move from the current state to the desired state if the current state is a moving target? Standard Work , which documents the current best practice for performing a task or process, and ensures that everyone is applying it, is a prerequisite for improvement.

Women are 33% more likely to see a doctor than men; but they are less likely to be taken seriously by doctors. For example: Women wait 29% longer than men to be seen by an ER for a possible heart attack, when presenting with chest pain; Women with acute abdominal pain are up to 25% less likely to be treated with powerful pain medications than men; Women experiencing symptoms of heart disease are more likely to be diagnosed with a psychiatric condition than heart disease—essentially being told th

Now that we’re almost in Spring, we’ve been thinking about the rest of 2023 and what we can to do make it as collaborative as possible. One way we can do this is to work backwards in order to see what dissuades collaborators from coming together. For example, we’ve found that IP (Intellectual Property) is often a stumbling block. So if this is the case, what do we do about it?
