When Nancy and I arrived in New Zealand for our honeymoon, we had just started birding. We got to Christchurch and talked to a woman in the Department of Conservation, who helped us plan out a two week trip around the South Island that would help us see kiwis, penguins, kea and all kinds of other great birds. At the end of the trip, we had seen 99 species of birds, and Nancy made me promise that we’d come back.

We all know that innovation management is hard work. Yet somehow, for some innovation professionals the challenge is harder than for others. Innovation managers are often the “lone wolf” in their company, especially when they are just getting started. Whether systematic online innovation management didn’t happen at all before or whether the last program just failed, it can be a serious challenge to convince management and fellow employees that there is actually business value in what you do.

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.

Years ago when I started my first job as customer service rep, I was so excited about it that I worked almost 24/7, I was just happy to do what I was doing. I made a good career in that company, eventually becoming a top-manager. Later, as I noticed that my values didn’t match the values of the owners, I went through the stage of disillusion and emotional burnout.

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

You've heard that old adage - "Don't judge a book by its cover." The same holds true in creativity. We want to resist the temptation of judging ideas depending on where it came from. Yet, its very difficult for us to do this. If we like the person, we tend to like their idea. And if we don't like that person, well, let's just say we might see a few more flaws than we might have otherwise.

Innovation in our modern business world is becoming more and more a process where new knowledge is created through the joint efforts of people from different companies working together. Research shows that companies using so called interorganizational collaboration or co-creation in their innovation process excel in firm innovativeness. To co-create with other stakeholders means that you need to have a good understanding of the market structure of your industry and how this can change.

But, though you don’t have control over their words, you do have control over how you interpret them. And the translation you choose makes all the difference. On the flipside, when you choose your words skillfully they can have a singular translation.
