Innovation needs to create value, both short-term and progressively over time. It fuels the growth and fires the imagination. Yet our innovation activities are constantly coming up short for the leaders within our organizations, who continue to remain disappointed in its final outcome to stimulate and drive the growth they want to see. It is actually the classic “chicken and egg”.

Over the last few weeks I've been working with a client that is struggling to fully implement a new strategy that introduces innovation as an important component of day to day operations. The company has a strong executional culture and has been successful in the past, but recognizes the need to do more innovation and more consistently. As you might think, I've been working with them on their rewards, motivations, language, communication and other factors that build or sustain culture, trying to

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.

From my perspective I’ve been looking at a real challenge today, that many consultants offering innovation services are not providing real sustaining consulting value to clients, only ad-hoc services. Unless this changes it will continue to erode the clients’ confidence in these service providers and they will be seeking increasing internal solutions to tackle their problems.

Thanks Jason. I appreciate the fact that you really got the point I was trying to make. The decisions we as individuals make is a personal one. We can accept free or low fee gigs – or not. But if other speakers reduce their fees, although it makes it more difficult as an industry to keep fees higher, it is simply the nature of free markets. Instead of complaining about what others are doing, we need to continuously innovate to create something of higher value than others.

When working with corporate teams I regularly face discussions on when and how to do customer research. For many managers talking to potential new customers is completely out of their comfort zone. I am convinced this is not with bad intentions as managers in large enterprise are mainly working in 3 modes: Do nothing (Talking to customers is the responsibility of someone else, other.

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.

The Graphene Challenge. Graphene is a new material that is just in its infancy in terms of commerical usage. It’s from graphite, the stuff in pencils. It’s magical stuff — 150 times stronger than steel, flexible like rubber, and potentially usable in electronics, water filtration, energy, building construction, medical, and more. It’s the thinnest material known to man at this moment.

I don’t have statistically validated data for this claim. I’d be comfortable speculating, however, that a high percentage of productive strategic conversations are wasted. What do I mean by “wasted” strategic conversations? Those are conversations where no one is actively listening and capturing important ideas and information in ways those participating in the strategic conversations (and others) can use them later.

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

The development and introduction of new products are important for the long term success of a company. When new products are being introduced to the market, there is always a concern for customer resistence. Customer resistance can be active when it is based on a negative evalution of the new product, but it can also be passive when it is based on the idea that there is no need for the customer to change because the customer is satisfied with the status quo without a real evaluation of the new p

No. You’re not seeing things. These are goats in trees. These goats love the fruit growing on argon trees west of Marrakesh, Morocco. They don’t care so much for the nut inside, so they spit it out. People gather those nuts and make them into argon oil highly valued for food and in beauty products. I was startled by these goats. It was, at the very least, mentally disruptive.

Supply and demand have been joined at the hip since the beginning. When demand is high, the deck is shuffled so supply seems low. The fabricated scarcity drives up prices and shareholders are happy. When demand is low, the competition pushes each other on price. The abundance creates a commodity, and it’s a race to the bottom. But this is old thinking.
