How often do you feel the tensions surrounding innovation? A tough part of managing within larger organizations is in reducing the layers and competing forces, the underlying tensions that innovation (uncertainty) brings out? Hierarchy so often dominates or dictates the speed of what we do. That is so often set in weird logic and a shrug of the shoulders.

Mentoring transforms big ideas into high-impact innovations. Having worked with dozens of the Fortune 1000 companies, coached startups, and founded three companies, I can say there’s a universal truth when it comes to innovation: big ideas are just ideas until they deliver real value to the world. That’s why just about every venture capitalist, entrepreneur, corporate innovator and university.

Everyone has some wisdom to offer. It only took me six years as a crowdsourcing practitioner, but I finally got around to reading “The Wisdom of Crowds,” one of the flagship books in our industry. It provided for powerful reflection on what we’re doing right, and perhaps more importantly, wrong. In the book, author James Surowiecki builds the case for the efficacy of “intelligent groups,” or “…under the right circumstances, groups are remarkably intelligent, and are often smarter than the

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

I'm writing today about digital transformation, and starting with two of my favorite quotes. The first, referenced in the title, is from William Gibson, the author of Neuromancer and other great sci-fi books, who wrote: "the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed". That is, we experience glimpses of the future everyday, and some places or companies are more advanced than others.

It is normal that no two people are exactly alike. Not even twins. So the word normal should not be confused with the word average. If you leave your fingerprints on something, you might as well leave your name and address since no two people have the same prints.

There’s no question the world of work has evolved over time. Advances in mechanisation, mass production and, more recently, technology have shaped where and how we work, as well as what we produce. The need for people and organisations to innovate has always been there but what’s much harder to comprehend, and therefore navigate, is the rapid pace of change we’re experiencing, on a scale we’ve never seen before.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, the exercise equipment brand released a holiday campaign depicting a husband gifting his wife a Peloton bike for Christmas and her subsequent fitness journey over the following year. Not long after airing, the ad set the Internet ablaze, with people on Twitter claiming it to be sexist and out of touch, and accusing Peloton of promoting unhealthy views of

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Corporate innovation teams are taught in their organizations, and in the media and classes, to act like entrepreneurs navigating risk in a new venture or idea. But entrepreneurs usually work in partnership with their Venture Capitalists (VCs), because together they can better squeeze out the risk and thus both win. So why do we expect our corporate innovators to tackle risk alone?

There are a lot of different versions of reality that technological progress has made possible. Augmented Reality. Virtual Reality. Mixed Reality. And now we can add one more to that list: Parallel Reality. The idea that multiple people can look at the same screen at the same time while all seeing different images. Giving them the ability to only see information or entertainment that is relevant to them.

For decades, psychologists and behavioral economists have proclaimed the importance of loss aversion, one of the most prominent cognitive biases identified by researchers. However, a recent thought-provoking article in Scientific American by David Gal challenges the conventional wisdom. Gal writes about the research he has conducted with David Rucker and published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology.

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.

When I attended CES a few years ago I was expecting to see displays for all of the major tech companies sharing off their latest wares. And, sure, there was plenty of that from drones and devices to smart washing machines and wearables. But I was surprised by how large of a presence car manufacturers had. In hindsight it makes sense. Cars are loaded with technology and futuristic displays and are becoming more and more sophisticated every year.

If you’ve never had a digital experience that negatively impacted you, you’re very likely to know someone who has. That’s exactly why you must be very careful when thinking about a digital solution for your business. Frustrated users are customers who don’t come back: just one bad experience is enough for them to open another browser page and run to a competitor.
