When Steve Jobs and Apple launched the Macintosh with great fanfare in 1984, it was to be only one step in a long journey that began with Douglas Engelbart’s Mother of All Demos and the development of the Alto at Xerox PARC more than a decade before. The Macintosh was, in many ways, the culmination.

I’ve been in the innovation game for more than 30 years. Hard to believe. With that many years comes loads of experience but also some downsides. As with most things, when you’ve done something for a long time, you tend to fall into a pattern – a rut. You use your experience to recognize a […].

Global innovation projects demand particular leadership competencies in a multicultural and networked environment. Leaders need substantial cultural and market intelligence, facilitation, and orchestration skills in order to accelerate innovation and performance around the world.

In this short animation, Dr. Sandi Man n talks about why boredom is an important emotion for us and what role it plays in the creative process. Boredom creates a space where we can daydream and allow our sub-conscious mind to connect unrelated things and these connections lead to new insights and creative ideas. If we really want to experience creative breakthroughs , avoiding boredom is not an option.

Here are some of the posts that i really enjoyed reading this week: Seth Godin in his inimitable style talks about “ Concept Cars ” and how they are a tactic by the Automotive industry to make us feel bad about our old model of car and also keep nudging us to continue to accept technology and cars which will not be available in the market for years to come.

Magnus Penker presents Lisa Toresson of HLL with their Innovation IQ, the highest in Europe. When co-founders Borje Toressomand and Sune Törnquist decided to launch their company in 2011 they knew what kind of company they wanted to start. They would rent and service construction equipment, but even beyond that HLL Hyreslandslaget AB would be a company built on the right values.

How Better Data Can Drive Employee Engagement. How much data does your company have on employee satisfaction? Chances are that the data sets are pretty thin. You may not know as much as you should about engagement levels, employee concerns and reasons for turnover. With the right data you can better implement strategic plans that take advantage of departmental strengths and find remedies for specific weaknesses.

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.

How we came to eat the things that we do in the way that we do has likely been the byproduct of thousands of years of trial and error. Before we figured out that you could pair milk with cereal someone had to try cereal mixed with apple or orange juice. Yuck! Or just imagine walking down the beach trying everything you could find, seaweed, clams, jellyfish, etc. to figure out what was edible and what wasn’t.

It might be there to help market a business , or it could be a personal page just for a few people. No matter what the purpose of the site is, there are many things you can do to hopefully improve the way that it functions and so on, so that it can be much more popular and work better on the whole.

Scaling transformational innovations in large companies is challenging due to ‘Company Fit’ issues, which arise when the resources, processes, and priorities (RPPs) of the core business are not aligned with the needs of the new business. Many companies have learned how ambidexterity—the ability to both ‘exploit the present and explore the future,’ can help them address these issues for ideation and incubation of new innovations, but scaling transformative business innovations remains a challenge

Contribute post –. If you run your own business, then you will understand more than anyone how important it is to market it properly. If you don’t then you risk being pushed further and further down the search results and you also risk losing out on customers as well. If you want to avoid all of this then you first need to make yourself aware of the techniques you should be avoiding and why.

Alex Pentland. Alex Pentland is a professor at MIT who combined staff identity badges with GPS positioning technology. This enabled him to observe the movements of workers in an office much in the same way as we might watch streams of ants crossing the gorund. Among the many fascinating findings in his book, Social Physics, he notes, ‘Email has very little to do with productivity or creative output.

My family can tell you that I consider myself one of the great armchair innovators. Among the many things I believe I invented before they were actually invented is the Keurig coffee dispenser, Netflix (streaming AND original content), and the Amazing Race. The problem I always told myself was that I never had access to the resources required to put my ideas into the market.

Starting at age seven I taught my son that every Thursday is Mother’s Day. As a single mom, running a business and a household I needed him to learn early that I had a hard job and I needed his support. His job is to make me dinner on our weekly Mother’s Day. In the early days, there were many broken dishes and quite a few bowls of lukewarm Progresso lentil soup served to me.

CPG brands aren’t always associated with innovation, though they may be associated with innovation on a small scale. This could be where you’ll find exciting new consumer innovations in coming years. People buy the same brand of coffee for years, or decades, even. Packaging may change, but the product is predictable, and CPG brands have done well by offering the consistency that is so reassuring to the consumer’s everyday life.
