Idea to Value
MARCH 15, 2022
There is a tendency for people to love their own ideas. Not necessarily because the ideas themselves are better than others, but instead because of the work which people put into developing them. As a result, they are often disappointed when other people do not care as much about their ideas as they do. This is partially down to a cognitive bias which most of us suffer from called the IKEA Effect.

During graduate school, I realized my gaming life was missing something. Being a Black woman online was an experience that often left me wanting many things: safety, community, camaraderie, cultural understanding. So, you can imagine my elation when, while looking through various platforms and networks to connect with, I came across Black Girl Gamers on Twitter.

Mark Twain. One of the most famous scenes from Mark Twain’s book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, is when Tom has to whitewash a fence as a punishment. His friend Ben Rogers comes along to ridicule him about having to work. Tom ignores him and concentrates on painting, so Ben eventually asks if he likes doing it. Tom replies, “Like it? Well, I don’t see why I oughtn’t to like it.

While research on corporate-startup collaboration is not new , it has attracted increasing interest in recent years. In fact, there was a staggering 81% increase in the number of scientific articles on the subject between 2016 and 2020 compared to 2011-2015, which coincides with the exponential rise of information and communication technologies, Uberization in particular, and their huge impact in many sectors of activity on existing business models relating to large groups.

Value creation is highly dynamic, it is going on all the time and can increase, decrease or transform, in different ways, when you exploit your different capitals that will be in constant change and adjusting to reflect your organization’s business activities and eventual outputs. This is when you can begin to see the value created by the use of deploying all the capitals to build new growth and what I call “stock” that along with “flow”.

The United States is now rolling out a once-in-a-lifetime level of investment to accelerate a fast charing EV adoption by funding EV charging infrastructure. But there’s a problem: we’re obsessed with speed, and focusing on fast alone isn’t going to cut it. There is absolutely a need for DC Fast Charging (DCFC) along our highway corridors to enable long-distance travel for EVs.

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.

Successful strategy and innovation are about how fast you can become aware of your assumptions. When it comes to strategy and innovation , success depends on how fast you become aware of your assumptions and then modify them. But it’s a paradox: You can’t see your most fundamental assumptions until you overcome them. This means that you can only understand your mindsets that were barriers retrospectively.

You have a product. And you are trying to convince customers that they should trust you and buy your product. But do you actually know what it is like using the product you are trying to sell? So many leaders in companies have no idea what their own products are actually like. Whether the quality is good. What the buying experience is like. What support feels like.

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. Many companies have learned how ambidexterity—the ability to both ‘exploit the present and explore the future,’ can help them address these issues for ideation and incubation of new innovations, but scaling transformative business innovations remains a challenge

Business today moves fast. So we like simple statements that speak to larger truths. It always seems that if we can find a simple rule of thumb—or maybe 3 to 5 bullet points for the really big picture stuff—managing a business would be much easier. Whenever a decision needs to be made, we could simply refer to the rule and go on with our day. Unfortunately, that often leads to cartoonish slogans rather than genuine managerial wisdom.

Once we settle on an initial perspective we don’t seek alternative ways of looking at the problem.

As humans, many of us have lost the sensitivity to deeper relationships and essences because we’ve become educated to focus on the particulars of experience as opposed to the universals. For example, suppose we were asked to design a new can opener. Most of our ideas would be driven by our experience and association with the particulars of existing can openers, and we would likely design something that is only marginally different from existing can openers.
