From our experience, nowadays most companies perform some sort of innovation activities. Unfortunately, we only rarely see a clear alignment between strategy and innovation. This results in innovation projects that inevitably fail to gain traction and support from leaders within the business. Steve Blank, founder of the Lean Startup movement, calls this “innovation theatre”.

Premise: As the current crisis unfolds, almost all the countries that have been severely affected would see their governments announce multi-billion relief packages. However, most of these would be for the SME or the MSME sector. Some of the large conglomerates and business houses might still struggle in the short term with cash flow issues, continuing supply chain disruptions, reduced demand for their products, a stagnating top-line and a falling bottom-line.

There’s a passage in Ernest Hemingway’s 1925 novel, The Sun Also Rises , in which a character is asked how he went bankrupt. “Two ways,” he answers. “Gradually, then suddenly.” The quote has since become emblematic of how a crisis takes shape. First with small signs you hardly notice and then with shocking impact. That’s certainly how it felt to me in November, 2008, when I was leading a media company in Kyiv.

Many organizations’ responses to the COVID-19 crisis have already switched from the tactical to the strategic. Your organization has likely updated its innovation strategy (or at least started to). That’s an essential first step. But the changes to your innovation strategy have probably been significant—that means you’ll need to invest significant effort in implementing those changes.

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.

There has been a great deal of talk lately about a trend that has been consolidating itself for some time in the USA: gamification. It involves generating games and entertainment out of processes and methodologies that weren’t originally that way. That is why they’re called serious games. In 2018, the gamification market generated 6.8 billion dollars, an amount expected to multiply by six over the next five years. 70% of the companies on the Forbes Global 2000 list are already using gamification

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

[note these videos are from 2015]. McDonald’s, the world’s largest fast food restaurant chain, began its product lifecycle management (PLM) journey in 2005. Although their initial implementation was considered a success – they successfully installed a leading PLM software technology and deployed it on a global scale – an assessment a few years later uncovered that the organization had implemented the solution in a decentralized fashion and they weren’t getting the expected business benefits.

If you lead a team of people, the first thing you need to do is let your team know the full scope of your roles and responsibilities. You may think your team understands what you do, but it’s highly likely they don’t — at least not at the level of specificity that a high performing team demands. And if the members of your team don’t understand what you DO and WHY you do it, chances are high that they will resist, rebel, or reject your efforts all along the way.
