Tournaments are community driven. Tournaments are an engagement tool aimed at achieving maximum performance in: Collecting ideas. Encouraging collaboration between participants with different skills. Achieving results for a challenge in a very short period of time -approximately one month. It is a well-defined program and yet, for those involved in the innovation ecosystem, assimilating them with other engagement programs is a common mistake.

I was scanning through my Twitter feed when I came upon a tweet where someone was excitedly welcoming disruption in the financial sector. Strangely, it was from an individual employed in the traditional banking sector. This made me think of the old Simpson's show where Kent Brockman, the news broadcaster, is announcing that there are new alien beings taking over the earth, and that he, for one, welcomed the new overlords.

We will obtain increasing more powerful insights that have the real potential of being turned into new innovation outcomes, through the connected businesses we are presently needing to build.

Possibly the greatest composer of all time and certainly the most revolutionary was Ludwig van Beethoven. Before Beethoven classical music was genteel, calm, structured according to strict rules and designed to please wealthy patrons. Beethoven introduced the Romantic Movement with music that was powerful, disturbing and passionate. He composed nine symphonies, five piano concertos, one violin concerto, 32 piano sonatas, and 16 string quartets.

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. 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

It is sometimes said that in the private sector, the rewards of innovation are privatised, and the risks are socialised. Whereas in the public sector, the situation is reversed. Risk get privatised, and the rewards are socialised*. In other words, in the public sector, people are too afraid to make any mistakes, and subsequently do not take any real risks, leading to little or no innovation.

Should we have been shocked by the Google/Alphabet news? Actually, I don't think so. Let's step back for a moment and think about Google's collection of businesses. The company is incredibly creative and innovative, but in the end, one major business generated most of the profits: search. That business is certainly as mature as a steel company, but it's much further along in the life cycle than many of the new ventures that Google has launched (such as driver-less cars).
