I recently came across this short introductory video explaining how Hollywood films use colour in various ways to change how the audience experiences a film. No, I am not talking about the simple distinction between black & white films and later technicolour varieties. Instead, I mean how the choice of which colours appear on screen, how they fit together and what their intensity is, which is all planned out deliberately to a much greater extent than most people would appreciate.

Build a startup inside a bigger organization for the best innovation strategy! It’s an axiom of business that the bigger you are, the slower you move. In innovation strategy, that can make the difference between being first to market with a game-changer and trailing behind smaller, nimbler companies. But you can give your business the flexibility of a startup, if you know the startup principles to apply in your company.

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.

Most importantly, an idea that a small group of talented people could build a new kind of enterprise software company. I’m very happy to announce that this idea will live on, but not directly as Kindling, as Kindling has been acquired by Spigit.

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

Thanks for your comment. We are for the most part aligned. I strongly believe that the seeker should not be the solver. And the solver should not be the experimenter. But the seeker CAN be the experimenter. Although I do believe that (as you point out) the seeker needs to be involved from a political perspective, I also believe that their pasts experiences will bias the results of the tests if they do not allow the experimentation to be done properly.

Hi Stephen. Thanks for your innovation minutes. I really like them, especially as they are easy to digest and hence perfect for a coffee break. One comment on this one: it sounds like you suggest to have three different groups/persons: seekers, solvers, experimenters. From our experience, the seeker and the experimenter are ideally the same people. In reality, the business need owner may not have the resources to review & test suggested solutions and may therefore nominate a group of experim

The outside world is impossible to control, so the only way to deal with external resistance is to pretend you don’t hear it. Shut your ears, put your head down and pull with all your might.
