Many organizations have top-level goals for innovation but struggle to measure progress toward them. How can you assess the current state of your innovation capability?

More and more companies are inviting their employees to participate in company-wide ideation. Companies that do this contribute to overall innovation program health by ensuring a healthy top of the funnel stocked with ideas and allies. But with this opportunity comes new challenges.

The Beatles (they were a pop group for those of you who cut your teeth on Eminem) wrote jangly songs about yellow submarines and walruses. It was the 60s, so I guess you had to be there to understand. They were all about sunny days, happy feelings, a kind of Beach Boys from England with mod outfits and mop top haircuts. They also had that outrageous Sergeant Pepper phase, but I digress.

There's an old marketing adage that you sell the sizzle, not the steak. Sell the benefits, not the features. I wonder, as I watch Super Bowl television ads, how many marketing people have forgotten the basic tenets of their craft. This isn't to say that the ads aren't catchy, funny, endearing and often engrossing. But sometimes the ads are so interesting or so well developed that they neglect to tell us what they are for.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.
