We’re pleased to announce the winners of The Nature Conservancy’s Demarcate the Lake innovation challenge. Out of 80 ideas submitted, 25 were considered “unique and actionable.” That’s a 31% quality rating! Amazing. Because of the scientific nature of this challenge, we were worried that the Betterific community would not be suited for the challenge.

Have you ever rejected an idea only to regret it later? If you answered in the affirmative, you’re not alone. Most organizations have sometime or the other made this mistake—often choosing a less innovative idea over a potentially innovative one. Driving organizational innovation depends on identifying and evaluating good ideas, even the ones that are deceivingly so.

I recently participated in the ISO/TC 279 meeting in Paris, where the working groups continued to work with their respective parts, moving the standard one step closer to its planned publishing in Q4-2018. Most parts of the standard will now gradually be upgraded to CD (Committee Draft) or DIS (Draft International Standard) status, meaning that they will now be gradually distributed to wider audiences for feedback/comments before their finalization.

There are three things that astound me about most organizations: The cro-magnon way performance reviews are done; the pitiful way brainstorm sessions are run and; the voo doo way decisions are made.

As you read, think of the teams you work most closely with, which of these behaviors describes them, and what you can do to change the game. 1.

Bloomberg BusinesWeek's Megan Murphy recently interviewed HBO's CEO, Richard Plepler. The discussion offers some terrific insights regarding how an incumbent player can grow and innovate, overcoming concerns about how new opportunities might cannibalize existing products and services. Plepler talks about purusing "multilateral growth" at HBO in an age of cord-cutting customers.

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.

I've been thinking, long and hard, about the correct analogy to describe a lot of corporate innovation efforts. I'm sorry to say that the best analogy I can come up with is a campfire. I hope you'll stick with me on this, because I think it can be illuminating (couldn't resist the pun). Most of us who participated in scouts or went to a summer camp where they had a bonfire are familiar with the idea of a campfire.

In order to involve key stakeholders early, you must first understand who your stakeholder are. I recently read a book called Crucial Conversations. In the chapter called “Move to Action,” the authors describe how to identify potential participants in a decision. The authors recommend asking four questions: Who cares? Who has a vested interest in the subject matter of your crowdsourcing campaign?
