Pitching the reasons to change to Innovation Ecosystems in thinking and design So after working through the values of the Innovation Ecosystem over a series of three posts I asked Chat GPT to help me in making a pitch for the change from existing internal orientated innovation processes and structures. I wanted to go way beyond just “open innovation” here, I wanted to provide a compelling set of reasons to make this move or accelerate this into reality.

The 18th century French enlightenment writer Voltaire once said, “If you wish to converse with me, define your terms,” and we need to approach transformation with a similar mindset. Some transformations require changes in investments, while others require changes in behaviors and these have very different challenges. Until fairly recently, our economy was based on atoms and transformations were usually focused on strategic decisions such as building a new factory, entering a new market or launch

It’s easy to get angry when you’re constantly picking up the slack or fixing mistakes caused by a rule-breaker. You might feel like you’re always cleaning up their messes, correcting their work, or filling in gaps they’ve left. The unfairness of it all can also get under your skin and cause resentment. But you can’t just march up to them and demand they stop ignoring standards.

Some high-profile companies have recently issued return to office mandates, which have been met with mixed reactions from employees and the general public. A decade of research suggests a performance-boosting alternative for helping employees build meaningful collaborative networks: corporate offsites. They can be a powerful strategic tool for managers, allowing them to reshape employees’ informal organizational networks to facilitate more sharing of ideas and expertise.

Recently, I posted about a Harvard Business Review (HBR) article remarkably similar to my book PIVOTAL: Creating Stability in an Uncertain World. I wasn’t implying that my ideas were copied. Quite the opposite. Sometimes, great ideas arise simultaneously because the timing is right. This wasn’t the first time it happened with my content and HBR. In 2005, I wrote a book titled Goal-Free Living , exploring how goals often lead to unintended and undesirable consequences.

Most innovation work proceeds independently from company strategy. As a result, the products that arrive in the market are not well aligned with the company’s goals. This challenge is particularly significant in organizations with transformation-oriented strategies, where innovation must directly support growth, scalability, and strategic pivots. In this session, we will discuss why innovation in large companies is so often not aligned with the company’s strategy and what innovation leaders, pro

The core premise of the strategic concept of “proximity” is that, thanks to digital technologies, value is being created closer and closer to the moment of demand — not just in time but also physically closer. This means companies can, in effect, procrastinate and wait until customer demand is present before producing an actual product or service. This trend, which is made possible by technologies ranging from AI to 3D printing to IoT, can help leaders make smart strategic decisions, especially

I published PIVOTAL: Creating Stability in an Uncertain World four months ago after two and a half years of writing. The premise is simple: In an ever-changing world, we must slow down the pivoting and instead focus on what doesn’t change. As far as I know, this is a unique concept that I haven’t seen published elsewhere… until today.
