One of my recent pet peeves is the proliferation of education options for innovation. One of my alma maters offers a "certificate" for innovation management. While I cannot comment on the course, it is taught by two professors with little private sector experience.

I suspect many, if not most industries, know there’s an elusive brand promise customers have been requesting for a long time that no competitor has figured out yet. Or maybe a competitor HAS figured out how to deliver the brand promise, but it can’t do it profitably, efficiently, or consistently. One competitive response is to try to explain to customers why they don’t really need what they think they need.

Snapchat filed with the SEC this week its latest fundraising. According to TechCrunch , $1.8B cash was added to the company, bringing its current value to the range of $18-$20B. Not bad for a company with 2015 revenues of about $59M. And quite a high valuation for a one-product company that probably nobody who reads this column has ever used – or even knows anything about.
