If you or your company has invested in an innovation or project, and it just is not working, when is the right time to stop it? Or if everything is going fine in your company but the market is changing, how do you know when to change the business model? Research shows that the more an individual or company has previously invested in something (whether it be money, time or effort), the more likely they are to want to continue doing it, even if the correct decision would be to stop.

Crowdsourcing allows organizations to find and work with self-selected volunteers to accomplish tasks, gather information, or gain new ideas. The end result is not just the work and insight of one person, but of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands. However, project managers might wonder exactly who these “crowd workers” are. Because they choose to participate, rather than being selected by the organization, it’s easy to wonder if crowd workers are truly as qualified to weigh in on the future of

As we leave the COVID lockdown and the economy picks up steam again, I think many businesses will recognize a need for more generalists on their team. That could pose a problem since so many people have structured themselves and their careers as specialists. I'll start by admitting that I am a generalist, so in some ways this post may seem self-serving.

Do you know what matters most to your customers? If you aren’t living and breathing the problems your customers face every day, you will likely be unable to empathize with their needs, and providing meaningful innovation to address them. For the past 25 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of groups across dozens of big companies and startups. One of the biggest barriers brands face when it comes to meeting the needs of their target customer is a lack of understanding of a customer’s pain points.

Can everyone be creative all the time? No. First, before a person can focus their energy on being creative, they need to satisfy their more basic needs. In 1943, Abraham Maslow came up with his groundbreaking Hierarchy of Needs, published as A theory of human motivation. In it, he outlined the theory that people need to satisfy their most basic needs before they can focus on more complex needs.

Innovation is critical to establishing new solutions and is something that every business handles. It can come in many different forms and styles, but regardless of the methods you use, innovation cannot be ignored.
