As a leader which column do you fall into? Conventional Leaders. Lateral Leaders. Lead from the front. Lead from alongside. Direct. Inspire. Use conventional methods and seek to improve effectiveness and efficiency. Develop new methods and seek to change the rules, change partners or change the approach to the problem. Think they know best (and often do).

Sometimes, it is important to take a step back from your own work, and highlight some of the best work from other people around the world. This is especially true in the field of innovation management, which are so broad that it would be impossible to highlight every diverse opinion on how to approach the subject. So here I have highlighted a small selection of what I believe are some of the best articles, videos and thought pieces on innovation from some of my colleagues from 2016 on their own

What good could possibly come out of failure? Harrison Ford was a failure as an actor for years. Twelve publishers turned down J.K. Rowling's manuscript for Harry Potter. A recording company (no doubt an ancestor of those book publishers) turned down the first Beatles album. Viagra, penicillin, pacemakers, and the smallpox vaccine were all born out of failures.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

There is a lot of talk nowadays about closing the so-called innovation “gap” or the difference between what leaders say they want in terms of a new product, service, process, or business model innovation and what their organizations actually deliver. Organizations can, and often do, fail to meet their innovation goals for a number of reasons and, depending on where you get your daily fix of leadership articles, these reasons will vary.

Recently I read a nice article in Inc Magazine about 10 Innovation Killers. The author refers to a lot of factors that stymie innovation, including many of the usual suspects: holding a brainstorm and then doing nothing sustaining a fear of failure thinking innovation is something the technology guys do One of the factors that caught my eye also got me thinking, however.

However you felt about the results of the 2016 election, one thing is clear: our nation is still demonstrating a fierce divide. Only four times before in our nation’s history has our winner reflected an electoral selection but not the popular vote. There’s a lot being written about this phenomenon and I don’t pretend to have enough wisdom to set it all in context, but I do know that there was a smaller, less talked about story that took place on election day that makes me think we might be able

Some years ago I took on the challenge of building an innovation center and organization in China for a Fortune 500 firm. Full of excitement and passion, I started hiring some great talent and jumped headlong into the role of leader, coach, mentor and manager. Like so many other organizational leaders in China at that time, I had a very young team and we needed to skill-up.

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.

In recent years, customer experience has emerged as a major differentiator for large companies. In a McKinsey survey of senior executives, 90 percent of respondents confirmed that customer experience is one of the CEO’s top three priorities. So how to start working and innovating on customer experience? There are so many articles, methods, strategies etc. that it can become a confusing and complex task for you as an innovation manager or customer experience manager to even get started.

New Year’s celebrations are usually full of noise – parties, fireworks, noisemakers, bowl games, you name it. The new year at work starts off with a bang too – a bang of hectivity – things that didn’t get done last year, catching up from being away (even tho most everyone else was too). Yet, silence is necessary and hard and at first, incredibly noisy.

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

As I travel around the world working with executives from a wide range of businesses, I find it very interesting that some understand the value of, and take great pride in, their corporate cultures, while others don’t give them much thought. I have also noticed that those who value them the most tend to do far better over time. Corporate culture has been the subject of many articles and books for years—and with good reason.

In recent years, I took a blog vacation the last few weeks of each year. That was important to get a break and refresh creatively for the New Year. If you noticed, the blog vacation started a month early in 2016, starting suddenly in mid-November. The reason is my dad, Bernie Brown, passed away unexpectedly on November 19, 2016.

Everyone wants to do more innovation. But how? To figure out what’s going on with their innovation programs, companies spend a lot of time to put projects into buckets but this generates nothing but arguments about whether projects are disruptive, radical innovation, discontinuous, or not. Such a waste of energy and such a source of conflict. Truth is, labels don’t matter.
