Idea to Value

NOVEMBER 6, 2017

Every company thinks that they can innovate by making their product better. But eventually, this concept of “better” begins to become irrelevant. If an entire industry is trying to innovate in the same way, eventually progress will become almost impossible to notice from a customer’s perspective and innovation will plateau. This is not to say that there is no more technological progress being made, but rather that each incremental improvement ( better ) becomes less noticeable

Think first, then act. In the first step of innovation, we discussed observation, and how Galileo conceived of the pendulum clock years before it would ultimately be invented. But, of course, Galileo wasn’t the first to look at a swinging chandelier. What made the difference was his approach to what he saw, his method of thought. Centuries later, another brilliant innovator, IBM’s Thomas Watson, became famously obsessed with thought.

As an innovation manager/leader you likely deal with processes (and process improvements) every day. You know, prioritizing and tweaking those actions your firm engages in to accomplish a pre-established business purpose or objective (Michel Porter is a great reference on this topic – he introduced the process view of organizations ). From creating the physical space for innovation and adjusting your incentive scheme, to more abstract goals like becoming a learning organization or being customer

Peter Drucker once said, “Above all, innovation is work rather than genius. It requires knowledge. It often requires ingenuity. And it requires focus.”. Can innovation be managed like a business process? Does “managing” innovation limit creativity, thus stifling innovative ideas? Samuel Palmisano, the former CEO of IBM, said, “We treat innovation as if it were magical, not subject to guidance or nurturing much less planning.

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.

But the potential for AI goes far beyond cool. Its application in businesses and industries of all sorts will exponentially revolutionize how we both think and work.

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.

There’s disagreement on what is creative, innovative and disruptive. And there is no set of hard criteria to sort concepts into the three categories. Stepping back a bit, a lesser but still important sorting is an in-or-out categorization. Though not as good as discerning among the three, it is useful to decide if a new concept is in (one of the three) or out (not).
