It has been over a week now since our Presidential Election, a good time to reflect. Some might argue this is how the Founding Fathers would have it, the decision is meant to be hard, to test our minds around this important choice, to continually rebalance power and draw it back from wide deviations away from center.

The way we perceive our environment is both affected by and affects our attitude, actions, and results. Is a business that’s more fun to work for more likely to succeed? Fun or not fun?

What they fail to recognise is that these “best in the world” people have often been working on their skills, craft and experience for decades to get to where they are now.

When your audience thinks of you and what your work represents, who do they think of? It does not matter if your audience is your team at work, the people who buy your art, or the people who follow your presence online. Instead, they will be thinking of you as the character who produces the work they see.

Still working after being more than 40 years old That made me think about how some things are built to last, while others are built to be consumed and then thrown away.

Sadly many innovators are simply happily working away with no specific guidelines, apart from the general remit of “we need to be more innovative”, and this lack of coherence merging from the boardroom, failing to cascade down the organisation leaves this strategic part that innovation should plan as far to vague.

And this requires it trying things which may bring large rewards, but also which may not work. However, this only works for projects where all the variables are known, and there is a clear set of steps to follow which have previously been proven to work. It all comes down to the question of what we learn from our failures.
