G. H. Hardy, widely considered a genius, wrote that “For any serious purpose, intelligence is a very minor gift.” What he meant was that even in purely intellectual pursuits, such as his field of number theory, there are things that are far more important. It was, undoubtedly, intellectual humility that led Hardy to Ramanujuan, perhaps his greatest discovery of all.

In the past few months, I have been writing consistently on the need to change our innovating process, thinking and designs into Innovation Ecosystem ones. Source: tmforum.org. In October, for example, I wrote, “ Why do we need to change our thinking about innovation “ I continue here with some more arguments of “why” we need to move towards an innovation ecosystem in design and thinking.

I'm diverging a bit from my normal focus on innovation and strategy to write a brief piece on planning. You see, planning is vital for strategy and for innovation, and is so ubiquitous that no one in corporate America believes that they lack for planning. Planning is vital for innovation because planning is the concept of thinking ahead - getting ahead of the market, of competition, of customers.

How much of your innovation budget and innovation efforts should focus on improving your existing business, and how much should seek to explore and transform your business for the future? This is one of the fundamental strategic questions which every business leader needs to consider. One of the best ways to assess what proportions your company should allocate to different types of innovation projects is by looking at your current and desired innovation portfolio.

One thing consistently successful innovation programs do, is test their concept during the development process. Whether physical or intangible, it’s rare that a final product is precisely what you initially envisioned. During the development process, your product is likely to evolve. While the end objectives remain the same, they may be expanded or revised.

In the two decades I have been researching transformation and change, the failure to survive victory is probably the most consistent aspect of it. In fact, it is so common you can almost set your watch by it. Amazingly, no matter how many times change advocates experience it, they rarely see it coming. Many, in fact, seem to take pride in how many battles they have lost, seeing it as some kind of badge of honor.

The linkages of innovation purpose. Whenever I get into conversations about innovating, we always hit difficulties on the question, “how can I build this well and be sustainble?” Hence, I often try to build an extended narrative for what makes up the innovation capability building and understanding for the future. I frame this as the linkages of innovation purpose.

This new management method makes it nearly impossible for innovation teams to fail at delivering multiple challenging innovation projects faster, with less risk and lower required budgets. Most innovation experts often say that traditional management processes are not the way to run innovation projects. And this is true. Traditional project management and financial management processes and principles are designed to produce robust plans for exactly how a project should run, and select only proje

I've been writing about innovation for close to 20 years. During most of that time, I've had the good fortune to lead innovation projects for clients as well. The work I get to do, and the material I see online and read in (yes, I still read paper magazines) has provided a lot of fodder for this blog over the years. There are kids out there, getting ready to graduate from college, who were just being born when I started doing innovation work.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you always get what you’ve always got.” This trite saying crops up all over the place. It is variously attributed to Henry Ford, Albert Einstein, Tony Robbins, Marian Diamond and several others. The trouble is that it just is not true. The world changes. It is volatile and uncertain. Things which worked well last year might work better this year but, more likely, they will work worse or not at all.

We often think that giving people more choices is better than having fewer choices. After all, wouldn’t we all want to have the option of getting something perfectly suited to our desires, than having to settle for what is available on the shelf? However, research has shown that if you want people to make a decision, sometimes having too many choices can make people less willing to make a decision at all.

In Part 1 of this blog series, I highlighted that disruption in health care is increasingly present at many points along the consumer value chain. Key takeaways to recall from that first post are as follows: Disruption doesn’t stop where it starts. New entrants are rewriting the rules of competition and have asset-light business models with which incumbents must now compete.

Take a moment to think about what the world must have looked like to J.P. Morgan a century ago, in 1922. The disruptive technologies of the day, electricity and internal combustion, were already almost 40 years old, but had little measurable economic impact. Life largely went on as it always had and the legendary financier lorded over his domain of corporate barons.

Some things just take time. Traditionally, one of the best ways to speed up the delivery of a project is to allocate more resources to it. After all, if one construction worker can lay 1,000 bricks in one day ( note, this is just a guess… ), then a hundred construction workers could lay up to 100,000 bricks in a day, meaning the project would only take 1/100th of the time to complete ( assuming the project outcome is supposed to just be a pile of bricks… ).
