Innovation isn’t a miracle. It’s not the product of a lone genius sitting in a garage or a serendipitous moment where someone trips over a breakthrough idea. It’s a process—a structure. And like a three-legged stool, it needs balance to stand. Without all three legs, innovation collapses.

While many companies proudly display values like “Innovation” and “Excellence” on their walls, few successfully translate these aspirational concepts into meaningful cultural change. The key to building an influential innovation-led culture lies not in proclamations but in embedding behaviours that support creative problem-solving and breakthrough thinking throughout the organisation.

We often see events as decisive. A road forks and it feels like our fate has been set. Yet that’s rarely ever true. There will be more forks ahead that represent new possibilities. When times seem bleak, it’s crucial to remember this and focus on preparing for those future moments, so you’re ready to seize the opportunities they bring.

Extensive research has indicated the benefits of showing gratitude to those around you, including your colleagues or employees. However, a new study suggests that the timing of these expressions can make a big difference. Through two experiments and an analysis of a top hospital’s intensive care units, researchers found that when you express gratitude to others before they engage in a distressing task it helps counteract some of the negative emotions associated with the task.
