The real question as a large corporation is: how can we take advantage of these ideas and the depth of knowledge inside the minds of employees, partners or the wider business ecosystem?

Employee engagement is what causes employees to want to give extra effort at work. Improve employee engagement and you build an environment that cultivates innovation. Employees who are engaged in their work feel as if they are making a real contribution, feel challenged but not overwhelmed, and believe their voice is heard.

Often a start-up company will be bought for its IP rather than its products or sales revenues. Here are some tips on patents.

If you are like most of us, building something you're proud of makes you excited to share it. But in strategy development, the enthusiasm of working hard to create brilliant new thinking can quickly fade when you get to the implementation phase.

Why you need to develop an Innovation Strategy. As many as 94% of leaders say their organisation isn’t very good at game-changing innovation. At the same time every organisation innovates, but approaches vary, and so do the results. In some cases, we see CEOs communicate the importance of innovation publically. This usually leads to well-intended but ad hoc initiatives but not the results that most expect.

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.
