Is your organization a cult? Most are, and this high level of commonality can hurt your innovation efforts… The recruiting and retention efforts of most organizations are not designed to attract and retain a diverse group of innovation personalities: analytical, methodical, creative, people-oriented.

While data platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and programming platforms have evolved to leverage big data and streaming data, the front-end user experience has not kept up.

However, big investments open the door for costly failures, and 84% of digital transformations go on to fail. Organisations are investing big on innovation initiatives that are said to build a culture of innovation but ultimately amount to little more than innovation theatre, despite their best intentions.

As part of my reading list, I stumbled on to a post that talks about a bakery that gives a job to anyone who applies – no interview, no background checks, no drug tests, nothing. You enrol on a list and whenever an opening arises, the person at the top of the list is offered that job. Simple.

Before Lost, before Game of Thrones, before Westworld, there was another TV show that ruled the day. A TV show that was either underrated or underwhelming depending on your point of view. And truth be told, it was probably a little bit of both. But that won’t stop me from holding SeaQuest DSV near and dear to my heart until the day I die. Admittedly, some of the storylines were a little bit wonky.

Some people claim that they can’t remember their dreams. Or that nothing exciting ever happens. I am not one of those people. I often have very vivid dreams where I am being chased or racing against time to reach a forbidden area.
