It always amazes me how we limit growth by not investing fully in innovation. While most large companies want to become more agile and innovative, many of them fail to turn this wish into a reality. There is this consistent need or pressure to grow, yet that specific needle stays stubbornly stuck in low growth numbers, even with all this innovation talk and desire.

Innovation capital is one of the primary catalysts to value creation. And while understanding and investing in innovation capital is crucial, building innovation capital lacks the focus it deserves. In fact, it isn’t even on most people's radar. If you Google “innovation capital” for instance, you tend to get venture capital companies as search results offering financial capital and hijacking this term.

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.

Is your organization a little too comfortable? Are your people risk averse? Is there a blame culture? How can you encourage innovation by getting men and women to be more adventurous and entrepreneurial? How can you get them to take more risks? Here is an idea that is borrowed from the game of Monopoly – the Get out of Jail Free (GOJF) card.

According to a McKinsey and Company article cited in CIO magazine more than 70% of corporate digital transformations fail. On paper it’s an equal playing field. The failing entities have the same technology as everyone else, certainly are drowning in very big data sets, and assuredly have a large number of very bright professionals eager.

I often get asked if one can or should model a non-profit using a Lean Canvas. The answer is a resounding yes. A nonprofit is essentially a multisided model made up of users (beneficiaries) and customers (donors). The main difference, from a modeling perspective, between a non-profit and a for-profit is that the former reinvests all its profit towards impact.

Traditional workshops are the go to for a myriad of businesses and their different objectives. Large companies with legacy products use them to explore new business initiatives or methods for improvement, while startups use them build their business model canvases, and value propositions. You might be thinking, if people are continuing to host these workshops, they must be gaining something from them; IE, they must be working.

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.

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

These past few days, I have been contemplating about time and how the thinking in different time horizons affects the decisions that we make in the moment. I have realised that we could make infinitely better and more intentional decisions if we were more intentional and thought about every decision in terms of different time horizons. This also led me to think about the cost of making decisions and how this impacts our everyday decisions.

I’ve just returned from Australia, and It’s a fascinating place. It shares a remarkable list of similarities with Canada – but there are also some key differences. We are both classified as small, open economies, but Australia’s population is smaller, just two-thirds of Canada’s. Likewise, GDP Down Under is smaller. Like Canada, Australia has an extensive, under-populated land mass, but that, too, is smaller than Canada’s, and the resource-base, less extensive.

“Thought.” Thought is epically powerful and hugely important.
