Idea to Value

OCTOBER 21, 2022

The Harvard Business Review’s Podcast “ HBR Ideacast ” has recently started a series on four business ideas which changed the world. I already told you about their excellent episode on Disruptive Innovation. Today I want to highlight another great episode on a topic I learned a lot more about: Taylorism. What is Taylorism? In 1878, a machinist at a Pennsylvania steelworks noticed that his crew was producing much less steel than he thought they could.

GUEST POST from Mike Shipulski Did you engage today with someone that needed your time and attention, though they didn’t ask? You had a choice to float above it all or recognize that your time and attention were needed. And then you had a follow-on choice: to keep on truckin’ or engage. If you recognized […].

When running a social media campaign for a B2B client, the first platform you probably think of is LinkedIn. LinkedIn provides the most premium audience in B2B. No other social media platform allows you to target decision makers by job title, company, and industry. Your second thought may be Facebook (and Instagram). These channels, on the other hand, are less tightly targeted for B2B but still hit the right people if the strategy behind the targeting is tactical.

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.

Innov8rs |. Fear is becoming the dominant emotion for people around the world. While understandable, fear is also very limiting. If we see the future as a threat instead of an opportunity, we tend to shrink our time horizons, focus on today, and adopt a win-lose view of the world. In other words, we don't pursue innovation. John Hagel III has spent over 40 years in Silicon Valley as a management consultant, entrepreneur, speaker and author, helping people (and organizations) anticipate how the w

What if rebels are actually your agents of change, the ones who see things differently, bring creative solutions to long-lasting problems, and are brave enough to commit themselves and get things done? It's about time we acknowledge the power of rebels, and create a supportive environment for them to unleash their talent, suggested Simone van Neerven, now Founder at reBella and Innovation Catalyst, and fo

Innov8rs |. Innovation is evolving, and so is the role of the Chief Innovation Officer. A few decades ago, innovation was just a matter of inventing new products. That is no longer the case in the 21st century. As sustainability and other trends are pushing companies to reshape their core, innovation today is a matter of reinventing what you do, how you operate, and how you run the business.

Source: openaccessgovernment.org In far too many organizations, employees indicate that they do not trust senior leaders. Why is trust so important? It helps leaders build buy-in and commitment, particularly when they have to make difficult decisions. It drives engagement and helps increase employee retention. Heightened trust increases intrinsic motivation, leading to higher productivity and organizational effectiveness.

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.

Innov8rs |. It’s time to overcome innovation theater. Research by the Boston Consulting Group shows that 75% of executives report that innovation is a top-three priority and driver of growth of their companies. Yet results in terms of growth from innovation rarely live up to expectations, despite an abundance of innovation activities. Furthermore, only 20% of companies are (or feel) ready to scale innovation because very few leaders are satisfied with the skills they have.

Every disruptive technology is greeted with doubt, skepticism, and rejection. That is the normal trend. In 2002-2005 when as the founder of my startup ConnecTerra Inc, by all accounts the world’s first official IoT company, I started talking to folks about how everything would get on the internet and the economy would be shifting. As expected, everyone suggested I was CRAZY. ‘Banking on the internet Linda?

Innovation requires engagement, collaboration and diverse thinking. However, organizations can face many challenges in creating an open space for employees to contribute ideas. Some of the issues companies encounter during the innovation process include the lack of a platform that acts as a single point of truth to connect information. In addition, limited capabilities to foster innovation and low interest among teams to participate in the process can also be hurdles to successful ideation.
