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.

Many leadership principles have been around since the dawn of time, and those principles have served and still do serve us well. However, given the transformational, exponential changes that involve both technology and human culture taking place, there are new principles of leadership moving in that are vital for us to implement. Applying newer principles of leadership becomes what I refer to as “Next-Level Leadership” in that they help the leaders of today and tomorrow level up in a way that is

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

“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.

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… ).

One might think that any organization with leadership and employees dedicated to continuous improvement would slowly trend toward success. However, it takes more than a desire to implement positive change to get there. Continuous improvement is part of a strategic process that advances critical goals and objectives. Organizations that demonstrate operational excellence are aligned and working toward the same ends.

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.

As members of the media have bemoaned the tragic results of students on the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)—also known as the nation’s report card—many have been all too willing to jump into the game of who is responsible.
