I'm writing a series of posts that examine some of my lessons learned after over 15 years of corporate innovation consulting. Past posts have included the concept of needing a why and a how for innovation , why ideas need a sponsor and how to understand the range of innovation options your company will consider. In this post I want to discuss the proliferation of ideas and their relationship to innovation.

Innovation has to come from somewhere. Even the biggest game-changers come from understanding the “game” and are built on in-depth knowledge of how existing products or processes work.

The Mexican Beer manufacturer Corona has found an innovative new solution to the problem of plastic packaging which holds packs of beer together. They have redesigned their beer cans so that the top and bottom have a semi-screw mechanism, allowing cans to be “locked together” and carried like a tube.

With a new Australian government recently in place, it raises key questions around the impact of collaborative, autocratic or competitive leadership styles. This caused many voters, like myself, to question what leadership style might be best for our country’s future? Is it a leader who runs a presidential style campaign, operating from an “I” or.

Every successful company or organization in the world is built upon the same foundation: knowledge. And this makes sense; after all, if a company isn’t built around knowledge—knowledge of the customer, knowledge of efficient internal and external processes, knowledge of the market in which the company operates, and more—it simply won’t be able to function in the first place.

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.

In the worlds of sport and business, the story of the underdog defying the odds and rising to the top is always an inspirational crowd pleaser. Think of Leicester City winning the 2016 Premier League, the “Miracle on Ice” performed by the USA Ice hockey team in 1980, or Ben and Jerry turning a converted gas station into a global ice cream empire in 1978.

We barely even have 5G yet and already there is talk of something even better coming along: 6G! A truly game-changing technology that could offer blazingly fast connection speeds. Instead of an incremental improvement over 4G connectivity, which is really what 5G is, 6G would be an exponential improvement. And while it may not be ready until 2030, the early indications are that it would be worth the wait.
