One of the most famous quotes about innovation goes as follows: Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door. Unfortunately, this is not how innovation works. It was apparently attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson (although it turns out this was a misquotation) and tells people that if you create a better product, it will be successful.

The more we learn, the more we discover that innovation is vital to renew businesses of all sizes. Those that undertake significant innovation activities seem to grow and prosper. Those that neglect innovation seem to wither away. Executives understand this. More importantly, markets understand this. And when markets understand and signal something, executives get on board.

One of the most common questions I’m asked focuses on innovation value. Specifically, how might I identify a tangible return on my company’s innovation investment and how can I summarily demonstrate that value within my organization ? The answer is simple : you track the value of innovation within your organization, you consistently monitor (and update) the value of your innovation activities, and you deliver on ideas and concepts by bringing them to fruition.

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.

Crowdsourcing can add up in surprising ways. Can finance benefit from crowdsourcing? While open innovation and crowdsourcing are incredibly popular in other industries, the financial industry is necessarily more conservative about the technology it uses and the consumers it listens to. “Move fast and break things” isn’t the attitude you want from somebody selling you a mortgage, after all.

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 may have the best products and services in the market, but without a strong, talented marketing team behind them, you’ll start losing ground to the competition.

It is also inevitable that at some point in time the growth in the cash cow would slow down. If by that time, the organisation doesn’t already have another product/service that can take the place of the cash cow, then the organisation is
