Idea to Value

Silicon Valley is home to some of the biggest and most innovative companies in the world. But what most people know is that over the past 10 years, many of them have fundamentally changed their strategy, allowing anyone and everyone to access their most advanced technology, often for free. When I was growing up, the largest technology companies in the world dominated their industries with a simple premise: stay in control of the customer, and keep your technology secret.

One of my recent pet peeves is the proliferation of education options for innovation. One of my alma maters offers a "certificate" for innovation management. While I cannot comment on the course, it is taught by two professors with little private sector experience who haven't created a product. One of them is a psychology major, which I guess makes sense because innovation is often the product of new or unusual insights or perspectives.

Sometimes, the biggest innovation breakthroughs come from unexpected places. Today I want to show you a recent example, where a group on Facebook found a solution to a problem which the food industry has spent billions trying to solve. It’s called aquafaba. In the world of innovation, such breakthroughs by people outside of the industry are known as outsider thinking, from people who bring a different perspective to approaching the challenge.

There are soooooooooooooo many ways to generate creative ideas. One way is to come up with a name that inspires an idea. When you check the name, it doesn’t work (or someone has already used it), but the idea has some possibilities, so you run with it. That’s what has happened here. A name for a new Friday feature popped into my head at a conference.

The typical linear and often siloed mindset that we have for much of our innovation thinking within our business organizations has to rapidly fall away. We are in the ‘cusp’ of a fundamental change that technology, platforms, and connected ecosystems will bring into the mix for connecting and collaborating in dramatically different ways than the past.

By now you probably have heard that Budweiser plans to rebrand itself as "America" for the summer and fall. The Wall Street Journal reports on the move, and it explains the rationale: Budweiser has been making a concerted effort to shake up its image in recent years with bold marketing campaigns. The brand has been losing market share for more than 25 years as younger drinkers increasingly opt for pale ales and cocktails over the King of Beers.

Startup entrepreneurs look eagerly towards the venture capital community, seeing the myth of a big pot of money ready to be given away to worthy ventures. Advisors, business school professors, and a lot of people who ought to know better, see VC funding as a given for far too many ventures, when in reality, there are a lot of great ideas that never get a single dollar in funding.

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.
