Innovation should be a regular topic item on the agenda of company board meetings. If you have not had a fundamental conversation about innovation with your key corporate stakeholders and senior executives then these are some of the questions and topics to discuss at the first such meeting. What is the vision for our organization? Where are we headed?

All children are born creative. Yet why is it that when we ask adults, the majority would not describe themselves as being creative anymore? What has happened over those formative years to remove a person’s ability to come up with great new ideas? Can we keep our children creative for longer? And more importantly, is there anything we can do to bring back this lost creativity in adults?

Is there ever such a thing as a truly bad idea? Does anybody really believe that there are no bad ideas? After all, the Darwin Awards feature, for example, a thief who thinks nothing of resting a metal ladder on power cables before attaching jumper cables to them to try and restore power to his house: Don’t worry, he survived somehow. But at the same time, we live a world with molecular air filters and microbicidal paint, as the Edison Awards show us.

N ext time you switch on your TV or computer display spare a thought for the company who probably produced the liquid crystal display. With over 60% of the global market the German company Merck is probably not one which would instantly come to mind. But they dominate this and a wide spread of other activity in the chemical and pharmaceutical world.

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?

Transformation is very hard at the best of times for all of us to undertake. Digital transformation forces us to work with mostly emerging, constantly evolving technologies, and then apply these in an integrated way into an existing business. This stretches our abilities significantly as we may unclear of the finished design for quite some time. We have to evolve it, as we go.

Office morale can directly impact job satisfaction ratings as well as productivity and even talent retention. Unfortunately, some managers and business owners only think about the importance of morale when it sinks to a very low level. The ideal work environment will foster high morale on a regular basis, and this will feed high employee satisfaction ratings and motivate your team to be as productive as possible on a regular basis.

CBS debuted a new show Sunday night called “ Wisdom of the Crowd.” It’s about a tech CEO, played by Jeremy Piven, who builds a crowdsourcing platform to help find his daughter’s killer. Sophia, as the platform is named, is essentially a network of solvers who can contribute information to help find Mia Tanner’s real killer, not unlike IdeaBuzz.com , minus the murder part.

How often do you get caught up in the numbers game in innovation? You are encouraged to generate lots and lots of ideas, the more ideas, the better. Then you are encouraged to “fail fast” by quickly evaluating ideas to see which is the best. But innovation is not a mixture of guesswork, searching in a random fashion what might strike a chord with your customers.

We all spend our Sundays in different ways. Some spend it recovering from the Saturday night, other spend large chunks of the day traveling to meet up with friends or family. Others go off to the gym, jog, take a run or simply enjoy a day of pursuing something differently from the working week. We do different things. Mine is usually a mix of exploring and researching around innovation in the morning, a couple of hours at the gym, a walk to finish off and then a mixture of enjoying a nice home-c

Large organisations tend to treat major new product developments as serious projects which require serious resources. They use project planning tools and stage gate processes. However, despite all of the management science the large majority of new products fail – certainly in the fast moving consumer goods sector. So maybe corporations should copy some of the ideas and methods used by tiny start-ups.

Like chess, for innovation having an idea is just the first step. Is your first idea really your best? It’s often held as an adage, but the history of ideas tends to prove the opposite. Thomas Edison is the classic example: You’ve likely heard he took 10,000 prototypes to invent the light bulb, but the truth is even more involved. Edison claimed he formed three thousand theories about how electric lights might work, and discarded all but two, with thousands of prototypes and experim

We have all become totally wrapped up in thr “Innovation Theatre.” Some have called these song and dance routines , others like Steve Blank, have described their view of “innovation theatre” around the current obsession of setting up outposts , mostly in Silicon Valley.

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.

As a sometimes writer of blogs, white papers and even a few books, I understand the challenge of facing a blank page, trying to form the words into meaningful and insightful sentences.

Disruptive ideas usually don’t see light of day at large companies. And when they do, it’s not for long. If an idea falls under the banner of Horizon 1 innovation, then congratulations - most large companies are already built for this and a business case is an almost perfect vehicle for it. But if an idea proposed by an employee meets this definition of disruptive innovation, then it needs an alternative approach.

Our attitude towards failure is an evolving concept and it also varies a lot depending on the country, the culture, and the individual. It can be very frightening. In fact, one study found that more people are afraid of failure than are afraid of spiders, ghosts, and being in an empty house. However, an investigation into failure shows that it is those among us that aren’t afraid to fail who will experience the most success.
