Within 17 years there is a 50% chance that you will no longer be in the Fortune 1000. You are investing less and less in basic research (leaving it to Universities and Government).

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.

Acknowledging that correlation is not causation, it’s still striking that, over the past 30 years, both the overall effectiveness of all companies total R&D spending and growth in U.S. GDP have declined by similar amounts. Could it be that there is a causal relationship? The author, a Professor of Strategy at the Olin School of Business, has, over the past number of years, researched and developed the concept of the Research Quotient (RQ) which measures R&D productivity.

What is coaching, if not an enabler to innovation? Tim Urban writes for the very quirky and informative Wait But Why. In a January 2015 post on Artificial Intelligence he references “what futurist Ray Kurzweil calls human history’s Law of Accelerating Returns”. I encourage you to read the post but in the meantime I’ll share with you, without spoiling too much, his observation that Back to the Future ’s Marty McFly would have experienced significantly more of a contrast in our way of life had he

Does basic scientific research lead to marketplace innovations? This question has been asked (and attempted to be answered) ever since the emergence of the activity we call R&D. Answers have been mixed with some concluding that basic research is the genesis of almost all marketplace advancement and others questioning if we are getting any returns at all on our research dollars.

When asked to think about how new inventions might shape the future, our imaginations tend to leap to technologies that are sophisticated beyond comprehension. In the iconic movie Bladerunner, the sophisticated technology being imagined are intelligent androids that are indistinguishable from ‘real’ humans – even to themselves. Yet when asked to picture how everyday life might look in a society sophisticated enough to build such biological androids, our imaginations falter.

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
