Open Innovation has been around for years. Like any concept or technology, a time-lag exists between when it emerges, gets used by early adopters, and becomes usable by many. Open Innovation (OI) is no different. It is a concept (powered by underlying technology and methods) with a pragmatic objective: engage different types of stakeholders beyond one’s organizational walls in ways that provides mutual value to all involved.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount.

Today, it seems that every social or age group of buyers is divided into dozens of subcategories for which the computer manufacturers create new models. The diversification of computer market has led to the production of various types of models in the last few years. Since Microsoft commenced a more dynamic stage of innovative development, since Satya Nadella became their CEO in 2014 ( source ), it was clear that we should expect something big from their design team.

Many of us innovation practitioners have found that the business topic of innovation is increasingly devolving into a search for that one magic idea that will change your enterprise, sort of like a more mature version of Pokemon-Go. Some of this devolution is due to the emergence of ever-simpler software tools in the innovation area that ‘game-ify’ the experience and seek to solicit as many participants as they can entice, hoping that its primary goal of uncovering the great ‘idea’ can just be c

The title of this post is a bit provocative, and that's on purpose. Every company wants to innovate, and further they desire that the limited innovation they accomplish succeed wildly. This is of course whistling past the graveyard, as most innovations, like most venture capital investments, won't return the initial investment. Instead, most companies demand innovation results on par with the iPhone while funding innovation with the equivalent of corporate bake sales.

Consider the Internet of Things (IoT). You may have read about or even have a home security system that you operate via your smartphone. Maybe it’s the tabletop device that plays your favorite music and also responds to a voice command to turn on the sprinklers. But IoT is far more than that and it’s poised to transform the way you do business. Anticipatory individuals and organizations are just as poised to leverage this significant trend.

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.

“Let the lion out of the cage”, a quote by Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), could apply to innovation… Ideas can be shackled. If an idea cannot be heard, explained, elaborated, even debated; it is at a disadvantage. Unable to move forward, it can’t be free and realize its potential. The free open flow of ideas leads.

For as much as we share about the Brainzooming approach to strategy, creativity, and innovation, I still frequently get the question, “What is it The Brainzooming group does?”. I am always surprised when that question comes from someone I interact with frequently or that sees Brainzooming social media content about our work. Probably both intentionally and unintentionally, we are vague in describing a specific set of services and products The Brainzooming Group delivers.

Thorndike also points out that most CEOs get their.

Like it or not, everything changes. The rock solid brand will erode and the venerable business model will wither and die. Though you will add immense energy to hold on to what you built, natural forces of competitive evolution will come up with something makes your best work extinct. We see it in our everyday lives. Houses need new roofs, cars needs new tires and our kids grow out of their best clothes.

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

I have long been a fan of anonymous tracking versus personalized tracking. As long as my Internet activities are aggregated with those of others and kept anonymous, I don't really mind the information about where I go and what I look at being used to improve my experience by presenting more targeted offers. When I care, I use a non-trackable search (like Duck Duck Go) and I use the "don't track me" features of the browser I use when I am doing private things.
