The use of crowdsourcing : the goal for me, is to engage and move the crowd towards a new direction, by encouraging out individual thinking and discovery, searching for combining these contributions; ones that lead to novel, new answers that move a challenge forward into a solution, one that has improved value over the existing. The community is encouraged to form, lead and build, taking ideas and thinking onto discovery journeys, seeking out and building on each other’s contributions.

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.

I stumbled upon a nice article that deals with a very important issue for any corporate innovator: how to communicate what you are doing, why you are doing it and why it matters to executives. The article was published in the MIT Sloan Management Review and is entitled When innovation meets the language of the corner office. The article notes that innovators often use different terminology when describing their work or tools (eg customer experience journey) and have different deliverables, proje

Have you ever wondered who exactly is standing on the opposite side of the world to you? The answer is probably no one. When I was young there was a story that if you dug a hole deep enough for you to come out on the other side of the Earth and that you would probably appear in China. However, this week I found out the true reason of why this is almost impossible from most places on the world’s surface.

To understand why cybercrime is rapidly growing, as well as the seriousness and impact it can have, we need to compare it with the more traditional and visible aspects of street crime. If we were to break it down into the business language that we all understand, what is the ROI of crime both online and offline? Robbing a physical bank does offer potential rewards to criminals, but at a very high level of risk including getting shot.

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

One way to deal with a common innovation strategy barrier – fear of change and new ideas – is to disguise new ideas as your team develops and implements them. Yes, you got that right. If your organization or other important audiences that will feel the impact of your new ideas truly fear change, it may be best to make your ideas appear less new, less frightening, and less like change than they might normally seem.

Our brains are designed to be efficient. Once a habit is formed, then we don’t really notice much outside what’s necessary to do those ordinary things. Think of your customary path to work; you probably pass hundreds of signs, but just don’t notice. On the other hand, you jump out of that rut if there’s a change. But the more you can train yourself to be flexible, the better you can react to change in a positive manner.
