The consulting industry was already being disrupted before the coronavirus. Now the disruption is accelerating. If you work with consultants or have your own consultancy, take note: Things are changing, fast. Right around the corner are threats or opportunities, depending on how you respond. I’ve already written about how the management-consulting industry is being disrupted by various trends like emerging technologies, the commodification of knowledge, and outdated business models.

In a 2015 TED talk , Bill Gates warned that “if anything kills ten million people in the next few decades, it’s most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war. Not missiles, but microbes.” He went on to point out that we have invested enormous amounts of money in nuclear deterrents, but relatively little to battle epidemics. It’s an apt point.

In our previous blog, we emphasized the importance of having a Chief Entrepreneur and Ambassador as the top executives dedicated to create and manage new growth in the company. However, having these roles alone does not necessarily mean you will have an effective innovation pipeline. They could end up becoming just figureheads for innovation. This might look good on your organizational chart, but it will not produce real results.

Yesterday my electric toothbrush finally decided to die on me. It had served me well, may it rest in peace, and was so old that when I originally purchased it, there were probably only four or five options to choose from. It was so old that I actually recall buying it at a physical store, as at that time, online retail was still in its infancy. I should add, before my dentist has a seizure, that while my device was ancient, I have bought countless replacement brushes since!

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.

Effective Leaders Create Highly Engaged Cultures. To have a seat in the corner office and delegate tasks with deadlines is the most commonly perceived image of a boss/leader. The strange thing is that some authority figures do believe that to be true and have accepted it as part of their work culture. This is mainly because they have come up the ranks in organizations where their seniors also followed the same attitude.

Baseball had a golden opportunity. A captive audience with literally no where to go, nothing else to do. But instead of capitalizing on that opportunity and giving an emotional lift to a country sorely in need of one they struck out. Swung and missed as they squabbled over how much money they would play for and in the process did irreparable harm to the game’s reputation.

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
