“Being ambidextrous” in organisations is the ability to successfully combine the exploiting of all the investments that have been made to date, to constantly build on these achievements by exploring new areas and opportunities. This calls for dual thinking and organisational design to optimise the two orientations. We are striving to maximise the existing utility, usually through continuous improvements, exploiting incremental advancement, combining this with the need of exploring beyond the exi

Within our ‘business as usual’ attitudes, there actually lies the seeds of destruction. Today there is a relentless pace; we are facing stagnation in many maturing markets if we don’t evolve. Yet we actually subvert the future to prolong the life of the existing. We need to frame our innovation needs differently for exploring and exploiting innovation across different time horizons to move beyond the usual.

I love innovation. I love all facets of it: the discovery of new needs, the creativity to discover new solutions, the realization of those new ideas as new products and services. What concerns me sometimes is the way in which we attempt to implement innovation, because we are likely to constraint it at just the time we need the most innovation. You'll see a lot of talk about "innovation management".

Do your employees collaborate across the organization? Or are they stuck in disparate silos, working only with their organizational neighbors? You may have an intuition for whether your employees are stuck in silos, but how are you measuring it? We know that a lack of collaboration can lead to misaligned priorities, lack of information flow and poorly coordinated decisions.

One of the most common questions I get asked when talking to companies about their issues with innovation is “how do we prevent someone stealing our ideas? Should we get them all patented?” Unfortunately, the answer to that isn’t so simple. And that is because the current system for getting patents is in many ways no longer in line with how the world’s businesses work.

The use of crowdsourcing : the goal for me, is to engage and move the crowd towards a new direction, by encouraging out individual thinking and discovery, searching for combining these contributions; ones that lead to novel, new answers that move a challenge forward into a solution, one that has improved value over the existing. The community is encouraged to form, lead and build, taking ideas and thinking onto discovery journeys, seeking out and building on each other’s contributions.

The simplest way to categorize innovation is into two types – incremental and radical. Incremental innovation is an improvement in an existing thing (e.g. product, process or service). Radical innovation is finding an entirely new way of doing something. For example if you had been making spectacles in the 1950s then plastic lenses instead of glass lenses would have been an incremental innovation.

Just like I don't have a virtual reality headset made out of cardboard and an iPhone, but I'm tired of hearing about virtual reality. The reason I'm tired about hearing about VR and autonomous vehicles is that they are overhyped technologies that don't yet solve important problems.

As discussed in the new innovation book Robert’s Rules of Innovation II: The Art of Implementation , one of the biggest reasons why the actual implementation of innovation can become such a formidable if not insurmountable process is because of people-related issues.
