Those ideas can be anything from colonizing space to just the idea that this particular place on the ocean would make a good port, but underlying any community is a strong idea. And gathering and refining ideas can be a good way to construct a community around your brand.

A Culture Of Innovation doesn’t just happen. It has to be built. Here’s How. I’ve often had CEOs tell me, “I want to build a culture of innovation. Can you come in and put one in place?” I feel like a Navy Seal called in to somehow covertly free the company from the shackles of.

The key question isn’t “Why are some people creative and others not?” It is why in God’s name isn’t everyone creative? Where and how was our potential lost? How was it crippled? Why does education inhibit creativity? Why can’t educators foster more creativity instead of less? Why is it that the more expert people become in their fields, the less creative and innovative they become?

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.

We recently published an article that introduced the shift from idea management to full lifecycle idea management. The main premise of the article was to shed a light on an important aspect of ideation and innovation programs: impact. In other words, it’s not enough to just come up with great ideas – that’s not the hardest part. What’s more important is what you do with these ideas and the impact they have on your 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

The innovation spectrum. Innovation is not one specific thing, it is a spectrum. It can start with small, incremental changes and expand to radical innovation, creating brand new solutions or disrupting an entire industry.
