Innovation is subversive Are you happy with the way things are right now? Probably not, if you’re reading blog posts about innovation. There’s likely something bothering you.

How to bring ideas to life? After collecting, refining and reviewing ideas, now comes the big moment; you’re ready to start implementing those ideas. This is the fun part, for most of us, where all the work pays off, and you finally see where your idea is heading and how it might change your business. But even at this late stage, there’s still a lot of room for innovation and experimentation, and you need to leave room for creativity as ideas become reality.

A successful cost-cutting strategy is connected to an organisation’s capacity to evolve, to innovate, and to do it as whole. Companies can, in fact, keep innovating in ways that do not require high investments in new products’ research and development, and which can save substantial amounts of time and money. The post Why leaders with a clear vision connect innovation and strategic cost-cutting appeared first on Exago.

“As soon as he becomes comfortable with something, he invents something else to be nervous about.” – Bill Berry on Michael Stipe of R.E.M. (circa 1995). Are you too comfortable to generate new creative ideas? Would inventing something to make you nervous align with your creative thinking formula and attract more creative ideas? If so, what do you need to invent to make you nervous?

Gamification, or the addition of game-like elements to anything that isn’t a game, pops up all over the design world.

The moment when users first open your app is critical to the app’s success , and you can use gamification as a tool to get a new user through the learning curve.

Having assessed your level of knowledge about bicycles, now complete the following sketch of a bicycle below adding pedals, chain and frame etc? Now using your sketch can you now give a detailed and causal explanation of exactly how you think a bike works?

Personal vulnerability is considered a liability for leaders. Conventional wisdom holds that it is difficult to lead or negotiate or make demands from a position of perceived weakness.

Holding a curious mindset is a great starting point when you’re leading your team or organization. If you’re in a truly new space, you won’t always know the answers. Your team won’t either. You’re going to venture into the unknown together. Curiosity is a great way to lead that charge.”. –Tim Brown, IDEO CEO.

If the work doesn’t stretch you, choose new work. Don’t go overboard and make all your work stretch you and don’t choose work that will break you. There’s a balance point somewhere between 0% and 100% stretch and that balance point is different for everyone and it changes over time. Point is, seek your balance point. To find the right balance point, start with an assessment of your stretch level.

Having a good instinct for new trends can be worth a fortune for companies. Who wouldn’t have wanted to be the originator of the idea for Facebook or for programming the first online garage sale? Innovation does not only involve expenses, it also pays. It is, therefore, all the more surprising that even major corporations frequently tend to rather follow their gut instincts instead of proceeding systematically and on a sound database when it comes to trend scouting.

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. 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.
