Innovation has to come from somewhere. Even the biggest game-changers come from understanding the “game” and are built on in-depth knowledge of how existing products or processes work. How businesses conduct operations on a daily basis can encourage or discourage breakthrough innovation. Businesses that strive for continuous improvement lay a better foundation for breakthroughs than businesses that preserve the status quo at all costs or otherwise eschew change.

This month is Pride Month, during which time the LGBTQ community comes out in force to celebrate their identity. I wanted to write an article celebrating the works of the most influential gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual innovators, inventors and scientists throughout history. However, there was a problem. There are just not many lists of famous homosexuals in these fields.

In this post I want to discuss the proliferation of ideas and their relationship to innovation.

Is it just me, or does this also happen to you? Summer after summer it's the same. Usually, at the beginning of the season, I start to think, "okay, which book should I take on vacation?" (fully aware that, in the end, I'll return home having not opened it once). Why? Probably because I tend to grab a book that's been collecting dust on my shelf -- usually a promo/giveaway about something I don't really care about or a birthday gift that missed the mark ( sorry, Grandma, I don't want to read tha

Today, more than one-third of workers in the United States are part of the gig economy, and that translates into 57 million people. For some, freelancing is a stopover between permanent jobs, but for 24 percent of workers in the U.S., it is their primary, full-time vocation. Despite missing out on traditional job benefits like paid time off, health insurance, and retirement plans, people participating in the gig economy tend to be happier than traditional employees because of the flexibility and

The Mexican Beer manufacturer Corona has found an innovative new solution to the problem of plastic packaging which holds packs of beer together. They have redesigned their beer cans so that the top and bottom have a semi-screw mechanism, allowing cans to be “locked together” and carried like a tube. Allegedly the system is strong enough to comfortably connect 10 cans together ( just resist the urge to play with this like a sword like the guy in the video below ).

The powerful effects of digitalization are opening up different business opportunities, the chance to design different business models and get far closer to the ultimate need, to understand the customers wishes from the products and services they are wanting to buy. We are seeing a very distinctive advantage in embracing digitalization into innovation.

Nearly 80 percent of executives surveyed by The Boston Consulting Group’s tenth global survey on innovation considered innovation to be either the most important priority at their company or in the top three. Employees, however, can be more skeptical. They’re already overloaded and adding “innovate” to their task load may not get a good reaction. However, there are ways to cultivate innovation success, and creating an innovation department is one of them.

Yesterday I wrote about needing a "why and a how" rather than a "what" for innovation. Today, I'd like to write about sponsorship, and why it is critical to have engaged sponsors for ideas and for innovation. This idea is important enough that I took the extra 30 seconds and looked up the definition of sponsor.

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.

Brainstorming sessions sound like a great idea, especially for breaking out of creative ruts, but too often brainstorming fizzles out. The main reason for this is that organizations don’t actually use any of the ideas that come out of brainstorming sessions. When that happens, people go into brainstorming sessions feeling they’re about to engage in a time-wasting exercise.

There’s an old saying that goes, “The rooster crows, but the hen delivers,” and it’s an apt metaphor for the world of invention. Most of us have little difficulty listing male inventors, but rattling off a list of female innovators is harder. It’s not because women don’t innovate, but because historically they haven’t had the educational opportunities that male innovators have had.

I'm happy to say I've learned a lot about innovation in corporations, and also somewhat excited to say I'm still learning, because the pace and nature of innovation is changing so rapidly. However, there are still so many basic, fundamental things that companies either overlook or fail to realize that going back to the basics is important.
