Innovation Requires Learning, Relearning, and Unlearning We rush to converge when we should take time to diverge
Wed, 03/14/2018 - 12:02
There’s probably few activities that corporate folks enjoy less than corporate training. For most it’s guaranteed to be a slog, or a review of policies and procedures rarely used and important only to a specific team or set of circumstances. Most…
A Shared Innovation Language Accelerates InnovationCreating a shared definition means we can explore more together
Tue, 12/19/2017 - 12:01
I was leading an innovation workshop recently with a company that invited some of its customers to talk about the future. We were interested in getting feedback from key B2B customers about the future of the industry, where things were heading, and…
Three Innovation Types: Evolution, Preventive, and CreativeConvince management that the first two are possible in the short term
Tue, 11/07/2017 - 12:02
I was thinking over the weekend that for years we've positioned innovation incorrectly. Too often we position innovation as creating a new and valuable offering or solution, ready when customers demand new products and services. In other words, we'…
What Accelerates Innovation?We need to do a couple of important things that are being overlooked or ignored
Thu, 09/14/2017 - 12:02
Lately I’ve been reading about the efforts to build or create innovation accelerators. Universities, businesses, and even cities and regions are talking about innovation and the need to create accelerators or innovation enablers. I’m glad that…
What Dubai Gets Right About InnovationJust about everything
Thu, 07/27/2017 - 12:01
I have just returned from a trip to Dubai to speak at an innovation conference there. This is my third trip to Dubai, and I always come away consistently amazed at what the people and the government are doing. When I return to the States, people…
Innovation Is About Finding and DiscoveringMost people are paid to do what they know, not to search for what they don’t
Tue, 04/25/2017 - 12:02
Ihave been thinking a lot about the challenges that midsized and larger companies face when trying to do more innovation. It’s not a secret that they need to do more innovation; everyone knows this. It’s not really a secret what innovation is, or…
Signal vs. NoiseThree simple rules to distinguish innovation from business as usual
Thu, 02/16/2017 - 12:02
The attempt to eliminate noise from an operating system or a business process is an interesting and perhaps worthwhile challenge, until one considers the question: What is the real signal? What is creating the noise? In many businesses today,…
Innovation: Management vs. EnablementCan you codify creativity?
Wed, 12/07/2016 - 15:34
I love innovation. I love all facets of it: the discovery of needs, creativity, unique solutions, and the realization of ideas as new products and services. But what concerns me sometimes is the way in which we attempt to implement innovation,…
The Seven Stages of Innovation Grief Skip quickly past disbelief and denial and become a master of bargaining
Tue, 06/07/2016 - 13:09
The tone of this article is a bit tongue in cheek, but the point is quite serious. Innovators go through a number of phases as they accept the reality of innovation based on what executives and corporate culture allow. Growing as an innovator is…
The When and Why for BrainstormingIf the tool fits, use it
Mon, 05/16/2016 - 15:47
I find that I’ve become increasingly irritated with the narrow interpretations and self-serving definitions of what is, or is not, innovation. One of the most common scapegoats for innovation is brainstorming. No other activity is more frequently…
