In business you’ve got to do two things: choose what to do and choose how to do it well. I’m not sure which is more important, but I am sure there’s far more written on how to do things well and far less clarity around how to choose what to do. Choosing what to do.

I'm writing a series of posts that examine some of my lessons learned after over 15 years of corporate innovation consulting. Past posts have included the concept of needing a why and a how for innovation , why ideas need a sponsor and how to understand the range of innovation options your company will consider. In this post I want to discuss the proliferation of ideas and their relationship to innovation.

The task of searching to resolve more complex problems allows Design Thinking to step up and become a far more visible component on how we can go about this. Design thinking needs to work in harmony with many other thinking skills to make its contribution.

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.

The Mexican Beer manufacturer Corona has found an innovative new solution to the problem of plastic packaging which holds packs of beer together. They have redesigned their beer cans so that the top and bottom have a semi-screw mechanism, allowing cans to be “locked together” and carried like a tube. Allegedly the system is strong enough to comfortably connect 10 cans together ( just resist the urge to play with this like a sword like the guy in the video below ).

Today, more than one-third of workers in the United States are part of the gig economy, and that translates into 57 million people. For some, freelancing is a stopover between permanent jobs, but for 24 percent of workers in the U.S., it is their primary, full-time vocation. Despite missing out on traditional job benefits like paid time off, health insurance, and retirement plans, people participating in the gig economy tend to be happier than traditional employees because of the flexibility and

Innovation has to come from somewhere. Even the biggest game-changers come from understanding the “game” and are built on in-depth knowledge of how existing products or processes work. How businesses conduct operations on a daily basis can encourage or discourage breakthrough innovation. Businesses that strive for continuous improvement lay a better foundation for breakthroughs than businesses that preserve the status quo at all costs or otherwise eschew change.

Scarcity Is an Illusion. It’s tempting and easy to choose to see life as a glass half empty or half full. It’s also easy to judge having more or less, as either being full or empty. Abundance or scarcity. Are these two opposite realities something that happens in the mind, or do they manifest in real life in measurable ways? The answer to both questions is yes.

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.
