Rob Law and Trunki. Rob Law studied Product Design at Northumbria University. One of his course assignments in 1997 was to come up with a new design for luggage. He did some research by going to a local department store. He wandered around the suitcase section and found no inspiration but when he went into the toy department, he had a brainwave. Why not make a piece of luggage which was also a ride-on toy for children?

The statistician George Box famously said, ““All models are wrong, but some are useful” and that’s especially true of economic models. When Ronald Coase argued that the “nature of a firm” was to reduce transaction costs, he didn’t mean that was the only purpose of an enterprise. To argue that there is a principal-agent problem between owners and managers should not imply that it only applies to profits.

Not all change leads to improvement, but to improve anything, you need to bring about change. Usually, that’s easier said than done. Greatly enduring organizations have survived over the years through continuous improvement and incremental innovations. What does it take to bring about improvements in a systematic and structured way? Besides the right mindset, culture, and capabilities, you need methodologies and tools to fuel and maintain these improvements.

For years, I have been wondering about how curiosity evolved. It may be a silly question. After all, curiosity brings all sorts of benefits, especially when it comes to making us more creative. But if you look back millions and billions of years to when the first life was evolving, there was real danger to being curious. If you were an animal and you had everything you needed in your immediate surroundings (food, shelter and ability to reproduce), then why would you risk moving away from this sa

When it comes to getting creative work done, sometimes your brain needs to shut out external information in order to focus. This is especially true for information which your brain previously noticed but deemed unimportant, and so begins to ignore. Examples of this include you not seeing the outline of your nose in front of your eyes, not feeling the weight of your clothes on your skin or not noticing the sound of the airconditioning in the room.

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. In this session, we will discuss why innovation in large companies is so often not aligned with the company’s strategy and what innovation leaders, pro

It’s easy to get excited about the virtues of mastery, or competency-based, learning. What’s not to like about a system that guarantees that students learn, as opposed to one that is focused on the amount of time students sit in seats? My new book, From Reopen to Reinvent , makes a full-throated plea for more K-12 schools to adopt mastery-based learning, in which students only move on from a concept once they demonstrate mastery of the knowledge and skills at hand.
