I was asked recently to write a short post about the conditions necessary for innovation to succeed. It's actually not possible to write a short post about innovation, much less the conditions necessary for innovation to succeed, but I've tried to simplify this into nine critical factors for success.

2021 - maybe it’s better to say December 42, 2020 instead of January 11, 2021 (kafkaesque?). We so want major demarcations in time to be major demarcations in hope, optimism, aspiration… change ! Sure doesn’t feel like it this year, at least so far. But, I think it will - and to help make that happen, let’s start making our own time-based demarcations, based on our time vs. time imposed by some calendar, society, expectation of the way things ought to be.

Can Innovation in Design Thinking Help Solve Today’s Problems? Many scientists of the past were right when they predicted that we won’t be able to solve the problems of the future with the same kind of thinking of the past. With the rapid changes that society is going through every day, the methods we have been using to deal with our problems in the past are no longer relevant.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Many people bemoan that we have to keep moving from platform to platform, as they evolve from person-to-person communications tools to megaphones for big media.

My favorite inventor, Matt Benedetto, is at it again with another absolutely necessary invention: mask-spenders. Suspenders that help keep your mask on your face and in particular above your nose. This is a great invention because people who incorrectly wear their mask have quickly become my #1 pet peeve as I wonder what they could possible be thinking.

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.

After last week’s events in America, Donald Trump was permanently banned from Twitter, his largest platform. Not only that, he was also banned from Facebook, Instagram, Twitch and even Reddit (which is one of the most vocal protectors of free speech rights online). He has spent years growing up a following of more than 100 million “fans” across social media for years, to whom he could launch whatever (usually idiotic) messages he wanted.

Scaling transformational innovations in large companies is challenging due to ‘Company Fit’ issues, which arise when the resources, processes, and priorities (RPPs) of the core business are not aligned with the needs of the new business. Many companies have learned how ambidexterity—the ability to both ‘exploit the present and explore the future,’ can help them address these issues for ideation and incubation of new innovations, but scaling transformative business innovations remains a challenge
