Brand marketing offers tremendous scope for lateral thinking. In the UK there are several price comparison sites for services such as car or house insurance. How can you differentiate yourself? One of the most well-known brands is Comparethemarket.com. Its whole branding, messaging and advertising is posited on one ridiculously obscure piece of lateral thinking – that customers might confuse the words market and meerkat and so search for comparethemeerkat.com.

After all, innovation isn't really all that hard - good ideas will pop up all the time.

For work that has not been done before, there’s no right answer. The only wrong answer is to say “no” to trying something new. Sure, it might not work. But, the only way to guarantee it won’t work is to say no to trying. If innovation projects fail nine out of ten times, you can increase the number of projects you try or you can get better at choosing the projects to say no to.

For many consumers, the concept of “customer service” is frustrating to the point of humor. Even with the many advancements in digital technology today, consumers still experience lackluster resolution to often simple problems. They find themselves upset because whenever they have an issue, the in-person employee doesn’t know how to help them or they “never get to talk to a real person” when automated responses do not answer their question.

Lean or the Toyota Production System often gets an unfair rap for being "anti-technology." Some of this mindset results from the old debate between using Material Resource Planning (MRP) computer systems to plan production or the more visual Lean methods of kanban cards and heijunka boxes. Even Toyota uses MRP systems, but they used them in their proper role—long-term planning instead of day-to-day execution.

There are multiple paths to Net-New, each with its own pros and cons, and risk and cost profiles. In the middle of the ‘extremes’ of incremental improvement and M&A is Incubation, where you have the most control, influence, and flexibility in regards to costs and outcomes – i.e. the most options. Unfortunately, this is often an area of underperformance, or else it stays too close to the core and delivers little to no net-new.

Soon after launching my new online course on the creative process, I began talking with the people who enrolled. I was curious to learn, from their perspective, what kind of obstacles they were facing -- the "stuff" that got in the way of manifesting their own creativity. No matter how different the people I spoke to, how unique their background, experience, accomplishments, gender, world view, or astrological signs, they all said the same thing -- what I later came to refer to as the "D" word.
