Having its origin in the late 90's programmers meetings, the term Hackathons comes from the integration of the concepts marathon and hacker. In mobile apps, video games, and web development, a lot of progress was made with this tool. Pretty faithful to its origins, Hackathons are equally, in the innovation ecosystem, a rapid team alignment tool in an ideas marathon to build new stuff.

We all are caught up in handling and understanding different management tools. The numbers are accelerating, and if anything it's adding more confusion to the pile we already have. So let’s see if we can help here, step back a little from your favourite tool and look at this just a little more deeply. How do we pick through all the tools, let alone keep up with all the new ones emerging?

I've had this kind of Venn Diagram rattling around in my head for a while, because the question keeps coming up over and over. Why can't corporations innovate like entrepreneurs? And, conversely, what do corporations have that sustain them and that entrepreneurs want to copy? If we could document and understand both the overlapping characteristics and the differences, then perhaps we could illustrate what they can do for each other, and what that could mean for innovation.

Our whole understanding of innovation is changing; there are numerous shifts occurring. We are opening up our thinking in where and with whom, to collaborate. We are evaluating and changing our existing focus from closed (internal orientation) into ones that are having a far more open stance. We are searching for more collaborative innovation (external orientation) combining external partners into more ‘collective thinking’.

Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations. Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources. What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?

Every once in a while you get an unexpected gift from out of nowhere. I was the lucky recipient of such a gift: a beautiful 1-page visual summary of The Laws of Subtraction by Todd Clarke. It speaks for itself. I like it for several reasons, not the least of which is Todd’s mad ability. I like 1-page stuff. Maybe it’s the Toyota A3 influence, but I figure if you can’t your thinking on one page, you haven’t really done your thinking.

I'm sure the formula existed long before Donald Rumsfeld pronounced it, but every business faces knowns and unknowns. We face the things we know, or think we know, about our business, the environment, the economy and customers. Worst, we face things we don't know, unknowns about the future, consumer demand, new competitors and so forth. What executives need to understand is just how difficult these known and unknown "unknowns" are when we talk about innovation.

I recently wrote a post “ Finding knowledge and research to help you learn and adapt ”. On reflection I should have replaced the word “research” with “time”…… time to help you learn and adapt. Finding time is a real struggle and going that extra mile to read thought leadership views, long often drawn out reports or academic papers can be a step too far, I know but I can’t help myself, it is part of my job and certainly for me, many are really worth the read in a positive end result of new learni

The youngsters are eager, intelligent and motivated. They readily absorb the ideas and the methods. In the interactive modules they generate and select great ideas for the company.

Pitching is a very essential skill that to a great extent determines the success of an entrepreneur. Reality is such that you might have the best business idea, but if you don’t manage to sell it (right), it will remain to be just an idea. Why so? Because pitching is a skill that not everybody has, but everyone can master.

But when we call on people to innovate, there are a host of unknowns and uncertainties.
