Employee engagement is one of the best indicators for organizational success. Engaged organizations are more productive, more innovative, and more financially successful than their less engaged counterparts—and if you want to take your business to the next level, focusing on employee engagement is one of the best ways to drive results.

I've been asked several times lately to write about, or perhaps more specifically, to opine about, innovation strategy. If you are a somewhat regular reader of this blog or my work generally, you may know that I think talking about innovation strategy conflates two very important ideas that are related but not the same thing. I find it useful to consider first the definition of these two concepts.

It is human nature to want to be able to make the best decisions. And usually this leads to advice about making sure you have enough information for a thorough analysis, weighing up all the factors before then being able to be confident in a decision you make. The problem is that research shows that having more information does not necessarily lead to better quality decisions.

I was asked recently to write a short post about the conditions necessary for innovation to succeed. It's actually not possible to write a short post about innovation, much less the conditions necessary for innovation to succeed, but I've tried to simplify this into nine critical factors for success. They are: Scope and opportunity framing Executive commitment Clear definition of the outcome (incremental/disruptive, product/service/business model) Adequate resources and funding Recruiting the ri

2021 - maybe it’s better to say December 42, 2020 instead of January 11, 2021 (kafkaesque?). We so want major demarcations in time to be major demarcations in hope, optimism, aspiration… change ! Sure doesn’t feel like it this year, at least so far. But, I think it will - and to help make that happen, let’s start making our own time-based demarcations, based on our time vs. time imposed by some calendar, society, expectation of the way things ought to be.

After last week’s events in America, Donald Trump was permanently banned from Twitter, his largest platform. Not only that, he was also banned from Facebook, Instagram, Twitch and even Reddit (which is one of the most vocal protectors of free speech rights online). He has spent years growing up a following of more than 100 million “fans” across social media for years, to whom he could launch whatever (usually idiotic) messages he wanted.

Many scientists of the past were right when they predicted that we won’t be able to solve the problems of the future with the same kind of thinking of the past.

On the one hand automation is bad as it takes jobs away from humans who need them. But at the same time it also could be a good thing, especially if it frees up humans to do other more meaningful jobs or pursue their creative passions.

The relevance of profitable innovation activities is obvious: With emerging technologies – such as AI - companies need to keep track of their innovation activities and targets in order to prevail against the competition. When discussions turn to the immediate financial impact, even the most robust innovation activities are quickly undone. Thus, it requires innovation metrics that are actionable, informative, and measurable to steer innovation activities towards desired future goals.

Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.
