I'm writing a (probably too soon) series of posts on what I've learned as we all return from the COVID epidemic. Previously, I wrote that companies will need to focus on business model and process innovation over product innovation. You can read that post here. Today, I'm focusing on customer insight and why it will be so important now and in the short term (next 6-9 months).

If you or your company has invested in an innovation or project, and it just is not working, when is the right time to stop it? Or if everything is going fine in your company but the market is changing, how do you know when to change the business model? Research shows that the more an individual or company has previously invested in something (whether it be money, time or effort), the more likely they are to want to continue doing it, even if the correct decision would be to stop.

Innovation is critical to establishing new solutions and is something that every business handles. It can come in many different forms and styles, but regardless of the methods you use, innovation cannot be ignored. However, when working in a digital workspace, creating lasting innovative solutions is much more difficult than usual. Instead of circumventing the innovation process, you can use an online whiteboard to create new innovative solutions during a litany of different scenarios.

As all of us working on innovation know, it’s quite an opaque topic that many innovators and organizations don’t talk about openly. As a result, innovation is an area that’s fraught with many common myths and misconceptions. That’s unfortunate, because those less experienced in innovation often end up going about it all wrong, and as a result, we as customers, and as a society, get less bang for our buck – and have to deal with challenges that could’ve already been solved.

The internet is full of free Kanban Excel templates that you can download.

Setting up a Kanban board in Excel and emailing it out to everyone is easy.

When I speak with everyday people, almost always a proportion of them will tell me that they are not creative. When I ask them why they think that, the most common answer I get is they list things that they cannot do or that they don’t think they are good at: “I can’t draw” “I can’t sing well” “I can’t play an instrument” They usually compare themselves to famous people they consider to be creative, who are most frequently painters, mus

If you look at any of the origin stories of some of the biggest companies in the world, you’re likely to see talismanic figures who stand out above the rest and personify the company’s image in your mind. Think Steve Jobs at Apple, Jeff Bezos at Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook, Elon Musk at Tesla. All of these individual figures are leaders who almost loom larger than the brands that they have built.
