Absolutely. I remember many years back I was awarded a large contract with a client. Let’s just say I was paid $100. This was more money than I thought I would get for this work. I would have been happy if I got paid $70 for it. I hired a contractor to do some work for the client. Their work was $20 and the client paid it. In the end, the contractor’s work was subpar, so to make sure my client was happy, I paid them them $20 from my pocket.

As creatures of habit, we like to do what we did last time. Outcomes match expectations and things go as planned – no surprises, no delays, no problems. But as creatures swimming in an evolutionary soup, doing what we did last time leads to extinction. Customers’ expectations multiply and competitors mutate into a higher performing organism and eat us.

The only real difference between innovation management and change management, is the intention that lies behind these approaches. Innovation, whilst often highly reliant on luck and randomness, is inherently a proactive and optimistic strategy. Namely it’s an attempt to create a better future using our collective capabilities and creativity. Whereas change management, whilst equally subject to chance and circumstances, is inherently a reactive and more negative approach.

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.
