Values Centered Innovation

The art and discipline of Innovation is still being innovated. And rightly so. It’s a never-ending journey, with notable milestones along the way. In Part 1 of this blog, I proposed that a transformation in the mindset and practices of innovation is already occurring, and it’s continuing forward towards a richer, more impactful sense of Human Centered Innovation… characterized by a greater depth of meaningful purpose, inclusive engagement, values-based motivation, innovative thinking, innovation

What can Startups and Corporates learn from an obscure 1950 research study on the bodies of 4,063 Air Force personnel? A lot of companies say they put their customers at the heart of everything they do. These are the people who they design their products and services for. The customer is always right …(?). And yet, usually they don’t actually know who their customers are.

We have too many goals put upon us.” Said one soft-spoken participant. Heads of the other participants nodded in agreement. “And it is assumed we can deal with it.” Said another woman around the table.

Innovation is a hot topic. Everyone wants to do it. And everyone wants a simple process that works step-wise – first this, then that, then success. But Innovation isn’t like that. I think it’s more effective to think of innovation as a result. Innovation as something that emerges from a group of people who are.

I've been reading a fair number of books and articles lately about digital transformation. The concept of digital transformation is still somewhat nascent, still being defined, but increasingly it seems that many of the significant underpinnings of whatever digital transformation ultimately becomes are rapidly coalescing, and controlled by just a handful of companies in the US and in China.

The second habit of highly effective people is to “begin with the end in mind.” That simple insight has probably done more to.

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 idea is good, but the design can be updated. Many companies have a suggestion box, usually in the break room or somewhere visible, but out of the way. Perhaps a simple box with slips of paper and a pencil nearby, perhaps a wooden box with a prominent sign, it’s a common but little-used fixture of the office. That’s not because your team lacks ideas, though; it’s because the suggestion box is outmoded.

When we make a commitment, we are always super-enthusiastic about making it happen. But when things become difficult, part of that enthusiasm fades away for most of us. We can start feeling a bit defeated and consequently give up honoring the commitment.
