Off-Site Innovation can indeed spur creativity. I like what Cardinal Health and Crimson Cup are doing in Columbus, OH with offsite innovation spaces. I like the attention they’ve paid to team diversity and on a customer-centered process. P&G’s Innovation Gym is another great dedicated off-site innovation space. I think these organizations are doing the right thing — for their contexts and purposes.

It’s no longer enough to have a great product, you have to understand how that product fits into the lives of your customer. Organisations are investing heavily.

It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in – one of the key innovation trends is sustainability. That means business practices, products, packaging, etc. Almost all of our customers have run a sustainability campaign (and if they haven’t yet – they’re planning on doing so soon). But there are a few brands with new innovative offerings that we truly find inspiring so we thought we’d highlight them here: Lego.

I am a firm believer that success starts with the statement of work (SOW). An appropriate and attainable SOW determines whether my team of UX designers and researchers get the time and activities we require to fully understand a client’s needs and fashion a suitable solution. Regrettably, we often work within overly prescriptive SOWs that dictate a solution before we have a chance to understand the problem.

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.

I came across interesting redesign of a few commonly used products and thought that the new designs were not only clever but were much better than the original designs. . Here we go: The Time piece: . NU:RO Watch from Anton & Irene on Vimeo. This redesign takes the hands out of the watch and inserts an hour glass instead. . Chalk: . One of the earliest memories that we have of our time in school is the touch, smell and taste of chalk.

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.

Contributed post – When you start out in business, saving money is always the priority. Well, that and making it. For the most part, though, your first months or even years will be about saving costs where you can. You’ll spend hours bargaining with suppliers, stripping production, and generally scraping the bottom of an empty bank balance. The trouble is, growth can be tricky during this period.

Several years ago, I served as an adviser for the Alliance for Advancing Nonprofit Healthcare as the organization produced a terrific report titled, "GREAT GOVERNANCE: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR BUSY BOARD LEADERS AND EXECUTIVES OF NONPROFIT HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS. I think the recommendations in this report apply to any board of directors, not simply those operating in the nonprofit or healthcare space.

Contributed post – Starting up your business could have been a long term goal of yours. Something you wanted to do for some time, but when it finally happens you can start to feel a little unsure about how to move the business forward. You may have done extremely well, but often the initial enthusiasm is what drives the business forward. You now need to get strategic, think about the decisions you make and set yourself targets knowing there will be challenges to overcome along the way.

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
