This column was based on a presentation by Scott Jenkins, SVP of Innovation and Product Development of Deckers. Scott began this talk insisting on blending work and play. His journey into “the sin of corporate innovation” happened eight years ago. At an early age Scott became fascinated with running shoes. He met an inventor in.

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.

If we want to unleash human potential, we need to accelerate it by creatively harnessing chaos. A practical example of this is a playground: kids are playful and chaotic because they have defined structures and beautiful systems driving their development. Work should be no different. Let's start inventing new playgrounds to accelerate humans in the world.

The tie between autos, the future of energy, and perhaps even the fate of the world are more intense that one may realize. While the energy efficient automobile has the potential be the domino that begins an energy revolution, there are those who are resisting change and making the transition from carbon fuels that much harder.

Timing, as we know, can be everything. With new ideas and innovation, timing is king. We have all walked down the street and seen something on sale or a new business that just opened and thought to ourselves, “damn, I thought of doing that!” It is a little known fact, that long before Starbucks or Costa took over our highstreets here in the UK, Warburtons actually started its own coffee shops, but they were just too early and unfortunately folded the venture before the market need arrived.

I own a huge library of books on innovation. Mostly hardcover. The $27.95 variety with big indexes and forwards by people who make more money than I do. Some of these books are actually good. Most of them bore me. (I must confess I have a secret desire, whenever I enter a bookstore, to put glue between pages 187 & 188 in all of the new releases just to see if the publishers get any complaints).

I stumbled across the article that Vannevar Bush wrote in 1945 for the Atlantic. You can read the entire post here. The reason I am interested in the post is because this post is a living proof about the role that imagination can play in the innovation process. He was able to predict in part what would the world look and feel like much ahead of his own time.

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.
