We have all heard that laughter is the best medicine. But it turns out that if you want to be more creative and come up with highly original ideas, then laughter might also help you. In two sets of research studies, participants were either shown humorous film clips or were allowed to listen to humorous records before doing a creativity test. In both cases, compared to participants in a control group, those who were exposed to something funny and humorous performed better on the creativity test.

One of the fundamental principles of continuous improvement is that positive change is the responsibility of every employee. Embracing that idea is far easier than making it a day-to-day reality. One powerful tool for keeping improvement work top-of-mind is the daily huddle. Whether your team works together in person or includes remote workers, daily huddles can help structure the effort to improve and standardize process operations.

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.

Teen mental health has reached a crisis point. Before the pandemic, the CDC reported increased rates of persistent sadness, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation in teenagers, and stressed social connectedness as a key factor in addressing teen mental health. COVID-19, which only served to increase social isolation in teens, exacerbated existing mental health problems and created new ones.

Dismiss the likelihood of industry disruption at your own peril. Far from being just another bit of business school jargon, disruptive innovation is earning more attention than ever before, and the reason for that is that we are seeing a wider range of industries being disrupted, as never before.

One of the tasks of an innovation agency is to keep an eye on the future without losing grip on the present. We’ve made predictions before (some quite percipient, such as this one ), but we’re not futurologists. Our job, instead, is to create a bridge from the present to the future on which goals are made: this includes small steps, which is why I’ve formatted this 2022 review in the frame of our 5 question agile retrospective.

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.

January 3, 2023 A century ago, economist Joseph Schumpeter said that crises were seedbeds of innovation and entrepreneurship. History shows that during these times, new technologies are developed and industries remade. These are times when people discover undiscovered possibilities. For example, from previous depressions came the incandescent light bulb, radio, refrigeration, the first working helicopter, and the ballpoint pen.

How important are in-person connections in an increasingly remote work environment? The short answer is “very,” especially since there are a lot fewer of them. Planview is on a mission to “Build the Future of Connected Work,” – so I spend a lot of time thinking about the human aspects of connection. Not just the team-to-top, cross-functional, idea-to-impact dimensions of Connected Work but the person-to-person, individual connections that make our work more meaningful, insightful, and valuable.
