When we consider developing an innovation vision it's easy to get bogged down in details as we craft and then re-craft this to reflect our realities. Most of our discussions are internally related. We can miss some different and crucial components in building the vision, which reflects on many of the intangibles surrounding any view. It is critical for us to address how to embed the vision and relate the essential parts that need to come together.

Not long ago our innovation team was asked by a client to lead an innovation project to create a new product. As always when we are asked in by a new client, we did a quick survey. It's important to understand what the client knows about innovation, what they have learned or attempted previously. Innovation can be strange and new, and if other tools or methodologies are familiar or in use, it's often valuable to incorporate them into our processes if possible, rather than ignore them.

Open innovation (also known as user, cumulative, mass, or distributed innovation, or as know-how trading) and crowdsourcing are both affordable, reliable, powerful ways to keep your company on the cutting edge of innovative ideas and products. But if these techniques aren't used properly, they can fail to yield the results you're hoping for. First, you need to understand when to utilize open innovation and when crowdsourcing is the better option.

Someone recently tweeted this about innovation: Perhaps some confusion about “innovation”: if it can be predictably produced/managed, is it truly innovative? I hear this a lot. And it’s always wrong. This kind of statement is based on the correct idea that we can’t know in advance if a truly innovative idea will work or not. Even small things don’t always go according to plan, as my cats proved a couple of years ago: Rather than an argument against process, this un

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.
