The precautionary principle states that if an action or policy has a suspected risk of causing harm to the public, or to the environment, in the absence of scientific consensus that the action or policy is not harmful, the burden of proof that it is not harmful falls on those taking the action. (Wikipedia) The application of the precautionary principle has been made a statutory requirement in some areas of EU law.

We have seen a consistent change over the years to move towards a more inventive engineering and discovery mindset within our innovation approaches. We started in manufacturing, continued in logistics and supply chain and have seen an evolution of our labs and thinking to keep advancing our processes, thinking and growth inside our organizations. Now we are looking far more outside, connecting into the customer’s specific needs.

A persistent attitude is one of the 27 characteristics found in the greatest innovators (Kim, 2016). It is defined as continuously striving and committing to goals regardless of immediate rewards. It is one of the most critical creative attitudes. Innovators are passionate about and committed to their goals, which compels them to persist physically and mentally.

We can simply go on and on in the many ways we have evolved our problem-solving techniques or methodologies, as those help the innovation and discovery process; incremental, piecemeal and experimental. Yet we still get caught out by no t resolving or addressing the essential building blocks of innovation (culture, environment, climate, governance, alignment.

Innovative thinking requires work. Here’s where to start. Can you truly change the way you think? We all have “thinking patterns,” ways and methods we tend to approach problems that we default to. But the old adage applies to problem-solving strategies as well as tools: When all you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail. Here’s how to break out of thought processes that limit your innovation.

I wrote recently about my last trip to Dubai, and the impact it had on me. Dubai is unusual because it combines a number of factors - an energetic leadership, a country and region hungry for growth and transformation, a significant investment pool, and a real "can do" spirit. Clearly things are changing quickly there, and everywhere. During the conference where I spoke we had several other speakers who were futurists, including Matthew May.

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.

Disruptive isn’t a dirty word, but it can be a scary one. Why does the word “disruptive” raise such fear among so many people? You can argue it’s a buzzword, but people are annoyed by buzzwords. Uttering “disruptive” during a meeting can get you looks more along the lines of profanity.

I snapped this picture at Target the other evening because of the intriguing product branding ideas it suggests. This is a ten-pack of 7.5 ounce cans of Diet Coke. Compare that to the typical Diet Coke configuration: twelve cans of 12 ounces. Doing the math, this carton has 75 ounces of Diet Coke vs. 144 ounces in the typical 12-by-12 arrangement we purchase like crazy at our house.

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.

That can be both healthy or disastrous. It’s easy to use distance and opposition (as in sitting on directly opposite sides of the table) to foster disagreement, aggression, and otherness.

Disruption, as a word, doesn’t tell us what to do or how to do it. Disruption, as a word, it’s not helpful and should be struck from the innovation lexicon.
