What do you think about when you hear the word innovation ? For many people, it evokes brands that created something so new that it changed the way we interact with certain products or services forever: Uber. Netflix. Tesla. Disruptive innovations like these have a legendary status that is richly deserved, but it is actually incremental innovations that are more likely to provide sustainable fuel to drive ROI for your innovation programs year in, year out.

Leadership is at the center of every successful organization. Leaders who can think beyond today and set a vision for their organization are more successful in shaping its future. Visionary thinking involves thinking beyond the present and asking yourself what the future could look like. It is the foundation on which a leader builds a strategy for achieving the organization's desired future state.

Running a successful enterprise innovation management program can be a challenging mission. Multiple factors have to be considered, each of which affects potential outcomes. One key aspect is the level of support that an innovation program receives from an organization’s management.

Many CEOs of software-enabled businesses call us with a similar concern: Are we getting the right results from our software team? Most innovators don’t have a technical background, so it’s hard to evaluate the truth of the situation. We hear them explain that their current software development is expensive, deliveries are rarely on time, and random bugs appear.

Feeling undermined, unappreciated, or unsupported by a colleague when you’re both in the same meeting can lead to loss of trust, along with feelings of self-doubt and lack of confidence. But looking to see what you can do to help the situation, rather than dwelling on what someone is doing to you, can begin to ease tension and repair a dysfunctional working relationship.

As educators, policymakers, and the media fret that the unprecedented levels of federal investment in our nation’s schools during the pandemic haven’t had the impact that they had hoped on helping students rebound, some have asked how policy can help schools rethink and reinvent schooling rather than stick with the status quo. Bearing in mind the American Enterprise Institute’s (AEI) Rick Hess’s adage that “policy can make people do things, but it can’t make them do those things well,” there a

These days, many employees feel like they’re constantly receiving a stream of bad or confusing news that affects their work in unpredictable ways.

Next time you feel you need to say something, but you’re not sure what to say, try these three strategies: 1) Recognize the power of “and” — it allows you to align two seemingly separate thoughts, such as “things a

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.

A successful decision-making process has three steps: Framing the decision, generating alternatives, and deciding between them. Large language models can help at each stage of the process. But while it may be tempting to merely ask ChatGPT for answers, the real power of LLMs is how they can assist at each stage. Ask for help thinking of considerations you might be missing, or alternatives you might not have considered.

Although remote and hybrid work have been widespread for several years now, debates about the benefits and perils of these more flexible ways of working continue. A key reason is differing perspectives on how to prioritize necessary trade-offs. While much has been much written about the different perspectives of leaders and employees, one dimension that has received relatively little attention is if and how perceptions of hybrid work differ across geographies.

Ever since the late 1990s, social psychologists have known a surprising truth: If you want to maximize someone’s satisfaction with a choice, don’t give them unlimited options. Instead, you should give them some choice but with clear constraints. This added structure is crucial for picking a desired option with confidence. This research also translates to innovation, which often results from 1) identifying a big problem to solve; 2) breaking it down into sub-problems; 3) identifying how those sub
