At the same time, stopping everything to focus on innovation can leave day-to-day tasks neglected. So, how can leaders make sure workers are able to balance operational necessities with innovation? Four strategies can help: 1) Clearing the “process debt” that’s blocking innovation time; 2) Subtracting something old before you add something new; 3) Putting innovation at the top of the l

The core value of humanity is our ability to make choices about what matters to us. AI will have all manner of effects over the course of its development. Faced with this, it is important to ask a simple question: should we care about all of those effects? In short, the answer is no. But how do we get there? Let’s imagine that one of the effects of AI is that autocomplete functionality increases the usage of the letter “s” in English-language text and chat messaging by 8%.

A bi-annual poll of U.S. marketing leaders found that social media investments have declined to their lowest level in seven years. An analysis of poll data suggests that lack of strategy fit, weak returns, and new competition from retail media may help explain this dip.

In the world of business, innovation, and opportunities, this idea is more than just a poetic notion — it is an absolutely powerful strategy for success. However, many organizations prefer to err on the side of caution, sticking to the status quo and following established best practices.
