JANUARY 26, 2022
If you work in a company, and want to develop a new innovation, at some point you are going to meet resistance. You will come up against individuals or teams who just do not support your new idea for one reason or another. Much like an animal’s immune system cells which tries to kill foreign invaders, these individuals will try to kill your ideas.

Most people overestimate the value of ideas. They think they just need to come up with a good business idea to be successful. The reality is ideas are free. They're everywhere.

We are told that we should plan our lives, make to-do lists, work diligently, organize our schedules and arrange things in sound and sensible ways. But is it better to sometimes do the opposite and just be spontaneous? Researchers Tonietto and Malkoc at Ohio University in 2016 carried out 13 studies of leisure activities and found that scheduling an activity (vs. experiencing it impromptu) makes it feel less free-flowing and more work-like.

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.

What is the link between intelligence and creativity? And can you be creative without being intelligent, or do you need a minimum level of intelligence to achieve great creative feats? This has been a question posed since creativity research began seriously in the 1950s. And it has a long, controversial history. Throughout history, many people who were regarded as highly creative, the people who made a mark on their fields, especially the scientific disciplines, were also highly intelligent.

In today’s modern world, we are constantly bombarded by distraction. Phone notifications, emails, Slack messages and news alerts. It almost feels impossible to focus on any particular task. In fact, research has shown that simply having your phone in the same room as you, even if it is not sending you any notifications, can make you less able to complete a task.

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.

*Big announcement time*. You are creative. Even if you don’t feel it all the time, you have the capability to do great creative things. And yet, most of us don’t FEEL like we are creative anymore. I would not be surprised if you had times at work in the past few years (or maybe even the past few days), when you felt: Uninspired. A lack of passion.

Disruptive Thinking is a concept that is based upon doing the opposite of what is expected/what convention tells you will be successful. One of the best examples I have heard of comes from a talk given by Luke Williams, which illustrates the potential of Disruptive Thinking. This example comes from the ultra-competitive drinks industry. International megabrand Coca Cola and almost all of its competitors base their business model around the same 3 core components: Fizzy drinks should be Cheap Fiz

Product managers fulfill a critical role in translating customer needs into product features and improvements. Unfortunately, often internal pressures, external commenters, and poor product management practices hinder managers' ability to deliver products that customers truly value. Another sad reality is that it is common for organizations to make product decisions without really understanding what matters most to the customer.

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

When you are starting a business or making a change internally as a business leader, many on the outside will repeatedly remind you how risky your choice is. There are countless motivational books and quotes within them that reassure you it is because the doubting individual doesn’t want to see you fail, while others may be hoping you will fail out of jealousy of your bravery.

When many people think about Lean processes and management , they assume that the goal is to optimize each process with a step-by-step approach to reduce waste and implement incremental improvements. Some people even assert that Lean principles are the opposite of innovation because innovation is often considered the result of the invention that disrupts operations.
