Since innovation is a difficult and often misunderstood word, or perhaps just because it is used to mean different things in different contexts, it can be difficult to understand why innovation at an entrepreneurial company or a startup is different from innovation in a corporation. I think the matter is obvious, but I wanted to explore the challenges and issues of innovating as an entrepreneur and contrast them with the challenges and opportunities of innovating in a larger corporation.

Part of becoming a great leader is being influential in the organization and creating an environment where others can maximize their efforts and reach their goals. Therefore, one powerful way to develop your leadership skills is to mentor team members and others.

Idea to Value

OCTOBER 15, 2021

I often tell my clients and students that ideas are priceless. Because you cannot put a price on an idea. When it comes to creative ideas, they need to be executed. If an idea just stays in your mind, or the mind of anyone else, it has no value and can make no impact. This is one of the major problems with companies trying to become more innovative: They think that all they need to do is generate more ideas.

If the reason I started something is still relevant and important, I know that I would like to continue to engage on this topic.

When velocity is constant – acceleration equals zero. Acceleration is one of those terms that is often taken for granted in today’s business environment.
