Innovation is a profoundly social phenomenon. Good ideas need good narratives to get them going and sustain them over their lives. Storytelling for innovation should be easy, and should address: Why are we doing this? What is changing in our offerings? And, how might we change our work for support?

When doing both strategic planning and innovation work the biggest hurdles are your own experiences, world-views, and knowledge of the market and players in it. Sounds odd, I understand. You’ve worked hard to come to your understanding. Still, don’t trust it. These hurdles create blind spots, biases, and fatal assumptions. Don’t believe me. Look to.

Contributed post –. Since your business idea was but a seed ready to germinate, there’s a good chance you’ve had someone telling you to take it easy. And, to be fair, you have been known to pull a few all-nighters, or to stumble of out your office in the early hours. But, don’t people understand that these things don’t work themselves out? If you didn’t put the hours in, the work wouldn’t get done in those early stages!

I'm a big fan of the concept of testing, prototyping and experimenting during the product development process. I believe in David Kelley's philosophy: Fail often to succeed sooner. I think that "test and learn" and rapid iteration beats formal planning every time in highly ambiguous environments. However, new research suggests one very important limitation to testing that involves going to market with a minimal viable product (MVP).

Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Each employee will have their own preferences, their own idea of what would be the perfect environment, and their own ideas about how they are comfortable – the best most entrepreneurs can hope for is to create an atmosphere that is good , if not great , for everyone.
