Great ideas do not always come from the top down. As a matter of fact, some of the most transformative ideas that have gone on to change the world have been from a lower- to mid-level employee. From the iPod at Apple to the Happy Meal at McDonald’s—both digital and physical innovations in all industries have often stemmed from collaborative creativity at all levels.

Change, in this view, is essentially a communication exercise and the right combination of words and images is all that is required.

GUEST POST from Mike Shipulski If you want to get innovation right, focus on novelty. Novelty is the difference between how things are today and how they might be tomorrow. And that comparison calibrates tomorrow’s idea within the context of how things are today. And that makes all the difference.

The United States is taking bold steps to reinvigorate its economy through game-changing investments in high-tech research and manufacturing. For more than 50 years, U.S. businesses outsourced manufacturing overseas rather than investing at home. For example, engineers invented the semiconductor in the United States, but the nation produces about 10% of the world’s supply today.

When economic headwinds pick up, sales leaders are the first to sound the alarm — and chart a new course.

The purpose and value of experimentation (from a scientific and product perspective) is to produce new information. From a product discovery/product management perspective, the purpose of experimentation is to focus our efforts on invalidating our assumptions to reduce the risk of developing and going-to-market with the wrong product. It’s our way of intentionally managing through uncertainty — since, as Claude Shannon said, “the only resolution to uncertainty is information.
