To flourish and grow, we need to innovate Jack Welch once said: If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near. This raises some important innovation points: The rate of change outside is accelerating. There are many, many data points available now making this point. The consequence is that even if our competitive position is solid right now, we still need to pick up the pace of change inside our organisations.

T hese are simply some opening thoughts. For a long time I have become increasingly dissatisfied with the way we have managed or even depicted the innovation value chain. I really think we should bring it up to date. There has been such a considerable change taking place in many of the parts of innovation management, I think we need to replace the existing fuzzy front end, the pipeline and portfolio stage followed by execution with something far more reflective of what we think and deploy today.

In 1860 Swiss historian Jakob Burckhardt released his book The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy. Up until that point the term ‘Renaissance’ was not widely used as the label for what we now think of as the period approximately between 1480 and 1520, where cultural, artistic and scientific creativity flourished. Burckhardt was the one who fixed the notion of the Renaissance into the common lexicon, and helped us to describe this seemingly unique period in history.

Four ships ran aground and were wrecked with the loss of 1400 sailors including Shovell himself. The main cause of the disaster was the inability of the seamen to accurately calculate their positions.

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.
