Boundaries seem to be continually pushed in business, nothing seemingly stands still, yet many things stay caught up in not being changed. Something has to change, we need to jettison old ways. In with the new in 2017, out with the old. I continue to read and explore as much of the thought leadership on innovation, it continually points to a change in how we approach innovation.

Print this out, fill it in, and carry it with you at all times. Problem solved! Actually, you don’t even need my permission to innovate – you just need permission from yourself.

The power of digital disruption is so immense that it now sits on the top priority list for almost every executive. Whether the threat comes from new digital natives entering the market, traditional competitors upping their digital quotient, or other markets using a digital channel to launch a competitive offering. On the flip side, as GE is demonstrating , the opportunity for growth is equally immense.

Always avoid all aimless alliteration. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. And don’t start a sentence with a conjunction. Parenthetical remarks are unnecessary (even when relevant). It’s wrong to ever split an infinitive. Contractions shouldn’t be used. Avoid ampersands & abbreviations, etc. Foreign phrases apropos of writing are not de rigueur.

An Idea Challenge is a structured process to collect new ideas from large groups of people – employees, customers, partners, or other stakeholders. Done right, they create multiple radiating benefits. The most obvious are all the new ideas that might otherwise have gone unnoticed by executives. But there are other powerful benefits, such as: increased staff buy-in for new initiatives, and higher productivity and morale of a more engaged workforce.

As a leader which column do you fall into? Conventional Leaders. Lateral Leaders. Lead from the front. Lead from alongside. Direct. Inspire. Use conventional methods and seek to improve effectiveness and efficiency. Develop new methods and seek to change the rules, change partners or change the approach to the problem. Think they know best (and often do).

First, a slight diatribe. Why is it that companies think their people can do successful innovation when they don't share a common language? In the title I've used the word "disruptive", and by this I mean innovation in the "third horizon" - incremental, breakthrough and disruptive. I'm defining disruptive innovation as new products, services or business models that "disrupt" existing products or markets.

Promoting a culture of innovation focused on business growth starts with providing practical tools that give anyone the opportunity to innovate in whatever they do. (Article based on the upcoming book, The Invisible Advantage ). It’s one thing to say you want a culture of innovation. It’s another to actually get everyone truly innovating. We hear it all the time from the executive suite – take more risks, embrace uncertainty, learn from failure.

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.

No, I am not talking about the simple distinction between black & white films and later technicolour varieties.

The post today frames a classic issue in communications: how to improve a signal and hopefully eliminate or at least mitigate noise. The noisier the communication is, the more difficult it is for the sender and the receiver to communicate. Thus, we try to eliminate noise from the communication, so only the signal is received. That sounds easy, but it is actually difficult, because there are no pure communication media.

Venture capitalists are good at finding, choosing, and bringing the creative ideas of others to market. They have good judgment about which ideas and value propositions will work. They can project how potential ideas may play out within the organization and in the marketplace. If innovators “pitch” their ideas and value propositions, leaders in the venture capitalist role are the ones who “catch”; they are the authorities who will decide the fate of the innovators’ dreams.
