For the past two weeks, everyone in my company has been working remotely. We had several cases of the Coronavirus in the office, and as a precaution, everyone has been working from home. And it has been working remarkably well. We have been collaborating using Slack, Zoom, Google, Phone and email. And business is continuing with minimal disruption. Yet I know for some of you, this will be the first time you are working remotely, and it can feel weird.

Governments are aware of the increasing need to capture perspectives and insights of citizens to spark the innovation process. The use of innovation management platforms helps leaders to better understand the needs of the people they serve through proper management of their input.

I don't mind receiving them, and some of them contain genuinely useful information. But the content of 90% of them is pretty much identical. Businesses are preparing by increasing hygiene, implementing work-at-home policies and in some cases, relaxing terms and conditions for their customers.

We’ve all heard the story of Newton and the apple. According to the legend, he came up with the theory of gravity when he was sitting under a tree and an apple fell on his head, at which point it all suddenly dawned on him. We love to hear stories of these great aha moments. The question is, are they true? Are innovations really born out of these miraculous moments of insight?

Your ultimate checklist to video calling like a PRO. Modern state of the world requires us all to become digital natives. And if some things come quite easily, for some of them it’s great to have a little cheat-sheet, and a good friend to guide you through once or twice. Use a head-set or headphones.

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.

When every day feels like this nightmare we’ve found ourselves in has gotten worse, and there’s no end in sight, it’s hard to remember to look for the bright spots. In times of crisis, though, we must remember to - in the words of Mr. Rogers - “look for the helpers.”. All over my community, and I’m sure yours, people are coming together to make sure everyone is fed, that local businesses will be able to weather this storm, and that we’ll all make it through to the other side in one piece.

With all the health and economic turmoil, it’s natural to experience heightened concern and fear. Fear that can slow down our personal and collective recovery. Fear that can halt our creativity and productivity in its tracks. Yes, it’s quite uncertain what lies ahead. Our habitual ways of living and doing business have been disturbed and unfrozen. Our habitual sources of entertainment, access to healthcare, ways of working, supply chain management… all put aside.

Engaging the organization’s employees from various Business Units (BU) in innovation efforts is a great challenge, but also a key to achieving cultural transformation. In my previous blogpost, I focused on systematic approaches to engaging Business Units in the innovation mission. This time, I would like to suggest informal methods to attract various employees to support the innovative mission of the company, even if it’s not their job description.

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
