Collaboration, Idealization and the enabling of innovation I have have been looking back at innovation and how it has changed over the last twenty-five years. In a series of three posts, I have asked Google’s Gemini to answer five questions to track and trace the progress innovation has made and where it seems to be heading. This is the second post looking more at collaboration and idealization and how and what has helped it evolve in this period.

Recently my toddler has begun playing with Duplo, which is Lego for really young children. And while usually he loves it, it also often causes him to become incredibly frustrated when things do not work as he wants. This is when he might begin shouting and throwing the pieces away. A perfect example is when he has built a tower with a wide top, and wants to attach a long flat piece to the bottom side of the top.

The Importance of Trust in Leadership Teams Understanding the Impact of Trust in Leadership Trust serves as the foundational element in leadership teams, where every decision, interaction, and goal hinges on its presence. Without trust, your leadership is like a ship trying to sail without water—ineffective and immobile. It is the glue that holds your team together through challenges and uncertainty.

At any given time, there are literally thousands of people looking to fool us. Grifters, politicians and nation states looking to sow discord are constantly bombarding us with falsities mixed with just enough truth to seem plausible. Often, these messages reach us through trusted friends and family members and, when we go to verify them online, we’re likely to find confirmation (often from the same sources that duped our peers).

25 years looking back at Innovation’s evolution I decided to hold a conversation with Google’s Gemini about how innovation had changed and hopefully progressed since I first became involved 25 years ago, when I lived in Singapore and was heavily involved in my MBA, which had innovation as an elective. The MBA elective “hooked” me on innovation, and here I am 25 years later, still going on about innovation, championing, cajoling and encouraging innovation to be more centra

The Foundation of Trust in Leadership Teams Importance of Trust in Leadership Trust is the cornerstone of any high-performing leadership team. Without trust, your efforts to lead may be undermined by doubts and a lack of commitment from team members. It fosters an environment where ideas flow freely, risks are taken confidently, and resilience is built within the team.

Innovation has often been treated as a cyclical phenomenon, eagerly embraced during prosperous times and relegated to the sidelines during economic downturns. However, in today’s globalised business landscape, where geographic boundaries and market barriers are rapidly disintegrating, a company’s innovation ability has become a constant imperative rather than a passing trend.

Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.

Job seekers worry about negotiating an offer for many reasons, including the worst-case scenario that the offer will be rescinded. Across a series of seven studies, researchers found that these fears are consistently exaggerated: Candidates think they are much more likely to jeopardize a deal than managers report they are. This fear can lead candidates to avoid negotiating altogether.
