The bigger the current problem you are facing, the smaller the first solution should be. Otherwise you’ll be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the challenge and never make sufficient progress. The majority of innovation efforts aim to be too big from the outset and are therefore destined to fail, because they do not function on a human scale. In addition too many innovations are focussed on solving small and specific problems which don’t really make very much of a difference to anybody.

Illustrations by the talented Sous Simonphone. If an app launches in the app store, and no one hears it, did it really launch? Today, digital products like apps and sites require marketing. Luckily, this has become easier to do, even a limited budget. This is also a great opportunity to do market research. Many products fail because they don’t solve a need their customers have or because the customer doesn’t know they themselves have a need for the product.

Innovation in Practice
APRIL 13, 2017
As an innovation leader, you are now responsible for a bundle of resources that you’ll need to get the job done. Those resources include human resources - your team - and also include financial resources in the form of a budget. But a good leader thinks about resources beyond just human and financial. You may have tangible resources like physical products and distribution outlets.

Cancer Immunotherapy We tend to think of innovation as a moment of epiphany followed by an onward march toward disruption. Sure, there are always some twists and turns along the way, but fearless entrepreneurs seem to have no problem adapting, iterating and pivoting their way to incredible success. That makes for inspiring stories, but the truth.

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.

It could be about semantics. Or not. A pilot is not a prototype. It is my strong belief that innovation success derives from prototype initiatives that are carefully planned, properly funded or staffed, and supported from beginning to end by senior executives seeking breakthrough bounties.

As an innovation provocateur and storyteller , I am continually fascinated at how rare real listening is in most organizations. Everyone seems to be moving so fast or just WAITING for their turn to speak, that real listening rarely happens. Methinks, it goes all the way back to our childhood where we were deeply appreciated for speaking our first word, but never appreciated for the first time we listened. 24 quotes on good communication.

I’ve been with IdeaScale since 2011. I’ve been on thousands of prospect calls.
