Accidents will happen – and as far as innovation is concerned, that’s a good thing. Whilst much of our attention is on the focused efforts to bring new ideas to market or to effect process changes in systematic, planned and strategically targeted fashion, there are some times when Fate takes a hand. What might appear to be a failed experiment or a strange but ultimately useless outcome can sometimes turn out to be the basis of a game-changing innovation.

“We’re too big.” “We’re not a startup.” “We’re not ready.” “We have the wrong culture.” “We acquire innovation.”. Although every organization faces unique challenges, we see the same excuses repeatedly why established enterprises can’t do “real” innovation. Here are the top 5 to be aware of and some ideas on how to overcome them. 1. “It’s not my job.” Go ask some of your co-workers who they think is responsible for innovation.

While some see the technology as a catalyst for good, imbued with the ability to change society for the better and positively navigable in regards to its implementation, others fear the threat of technological unemployment will render human beings obsolete. Is technological unemployment in our future?

Generative AI is upending the way product developers & end-users alike are interacting with data. Despite the potential of AI, many are left with questions about the future of product development: How will AI impact my business and contribute to its success? What can product managers and developers expect in the future with the widespread adoption of AI?

Rapid prototyping can make the difference between creating a successful product or ending up in an endless tunnel of dreams. Creating a prototype will force you to think about the details of your product and how users will use it in the end. A ready to use prototype will allow you to use it and show it to people and get their valuable feedback.

You’d surely have to have been on an arctic expedition yourself to have missed the recent story regarding the National Environmental Research Council (NERC) and their new £200m state-of-the-art polar research vessel. Every ship needs a name, and rather than name her themselves, the NERC decided instead to hand that privilege to the internet. On March 17th, under the guidance of creative agency BlueStag, they launched a crowdsourcing competition using the hashtag #NameOurShip.

Personnaly, I believed conventional (ancient, not management theory or gurus) wisdom largely favors the stick. On the other side, theory also warns us that both carrot and stick may be closer related to hygiene factors. So, when deciding between two second-class incentives, it just depends.

I guess you are right. Old school was always stick. And you are absolutely right that it depends on the situation and person. For some things I am a carrot person (work) but for other I am a stick person (health). Personal motivation factors are key. Thanks!!

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.

This week I had the pleasure to speak at the MIT Enterprise Forum annual conference on Connected Things. The MIT Media Center was buzzing with vibrant conversations about Connected Things, IoT, RFID, AR/VR, and more. Great debates everywhere!

Columbia Business School Professor Rita McGrath asks an interesting question on her blog this week. She ponders whether the situation unfolding at Lands' End may be eerily similar to the fiasco that took place at J.C. Penney when Ron Johnson was hired as CEO. She's commenting about a Wall Street Journal feature story about the culture clash taking place at Lands' End as new CEO Federica Marchionni attempts to revitalize the apparel retailer.

One thing is for sure: Anytime there is disruption, there is resistance. That is what we talk a lot about in my book ProVoke.

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.

I read a lot and on diverse topics. I used to share all the interesting stuff on Twitter and Facebook, but realised that searching for them at a later point (in case someone wants to find out more or I want to connect with someone) became extremely difficult. Also, my friends said that it is easier for them if they can find all the interesting stuff that i find in one place so that they can visit one single post and decide to read something that they find interesting as well.
