When people here in Australia ask me about sports, I often say “I’m the only person in the world whose two favourite sports are cricket and ice hockey.” I have to call hockey ice hockey because around here hockey means field hockey. Anyway, hockey was the first sport I learned how to play when I was growing up in Alaska, and it’s still my favourite.

For many companies, I think there is a relatively significant gap between what they actually generate as compelling new products and what they wish they generated. We could call this the "innovation gap". The gap is real, and it means that many companies aren't as profitable or as competitive as they'd like to be. Many of have (in some cases for years or decades) advocated tools and methods as a way to improve the innovation funnel, to create more innovation more readily that had value as new pr

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.

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.

With innovation comes disruptive change and you will inevitably face a myriad of dismissals in pursuit of your ideation strategy. A deflating ‘no’ is the slamming of a door in your face and can be ceaselessly frustrating. Unfortunately, many people stop at the first ‘no’, interpreting it as an impenetrable barrier in their quest. However, the key to turning a rejection into an acceptance is to understand that the first ‘no’ is not the end of the process.
