What does it take to sustain innovation in your organization? Ideally, you could devote time, money, and resources to a think tank that had nothing to do but produce a steady stream of promising innovations all day every day. But that isn't realistic for the majority of organizations that do not have the name Google or GE on a sign out front. Everyone else needs some assistance to achieve and maintain a state of regular and consistent innovation.

I'm going to reach for one of those grand unifying theory type of thought experiments today, connecting what Carl Sagan said about science with what we believe to be true about innovation. Sagan had a wonderful way of explaining science. I especially enjoy what has come to be called the " Baloney Detection " kit. You can see the entire discussion of the Baloney Detection kit on the wonderful Brain Picking site (which you should visit regularly for its expansive look at a whole host of topics).

We tend to focus our innovation efforts on new products, services or processes. The questions we ask are: * How can we make our product better, cheaper or different? * How can we make our service better, easier or different? These are always good questions to ask but sometimes we should try this question: * How can we make the experience of using our product or service memorable?

Like many other hyped and highly anticipated phenomena, innovation has reached its saturation point, becoming a constantly used concept that simply isn't delivering as much meaning and value as has been promised. That's not to say the hype or potential impact of innovation isn't true. It's just that, as with any other new technology or capability, the advocacy gets ahead of the reality.

Is Agility compatible for many working in established businesses? “To be agile” is often a badge of honor. It conveys your flexibility, nimbleness and your ability to be adaptive. Agility is today going far beyond just being responsive,it goes into constantly adjusting and being versatile, modifying to meet rapidly changing conditions. Yet this often seems the very opposite within many of our organizations and the very people employed within them.

Disruptive innovations are defined as those new products and services that are so unique and powerful that they literally disrupt the entire industry. The cloud, for instance, was disruptive because it changed the way that people store and use information and applications. Mobile technology was also disruptive because it revolutionized the way that we communicate and live our lives.

We never seem capable of adapting as well as we should be. Adapting always seems a work-in-progress, or it is often something where we are simply making little or no progress! We often stay ‘stuck’ in the way we do ‘things’ around here, never seemingly able to break out into something new or different. To adapt we need to open ourselves up to learning and adjusting our organizational ‘form’ in new ways.

Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.
