Since innovation is a difficult and often misunderstood word, or perhaps just because it is used to mean different things in different contexts, it can be difficult to understand why innovation at an entrepreneurial company or a startup is different from innovation in a corporation. I think the matter is obvious, but I wanted to explore the challenges and issues of innovating as an entrepreneur and contrast them with the challenges and opportunities of innovating in a larger corporation.

Part of becoming a great leader is being influential in the organization and creating an environment where others can maximize their efforts and reach their goals. Therefore, one powerful way to develop your leadership skills is to mentor team members and others. Mentoring provides individuals the opportunity to discover hidden talents, expand on current abilities, and identify knowledge and skill gaps they can work on to achieve their full potential.

Sometimes, new ideas may come across as scary and radical. Especially when compared to what has come before, or what is considered “normal” or standard in an industry. While it is common for innovations to take time to diffuse through the different customer groups , it can sometimes be hard for ideas to be accepted when there are extreme views on opposite ends of the spectrum of issues.

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.

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.
