The boxer Mike Tyson once famously said: Everybody has a plan before they get punched in the mouth! While the original quote from 1987 was actually “Everybody has plans until they get hit for the first time.”, the sentiment also applies to innovation projects. Companies often create elaborate plans for what their projects are supposed to achieve once they are released.

Creating a solid business case is integral to the success of any new opportunity. The right business case can mean the difference between funding your idea and floundering to make it a reality. Many people fail to gain support for their ideas because they fail to create a compelling business case. . . For over 25 years, I’ve worked with innovation teams within big companies to help them craft business cases for their ideas, and with founders to gain funding for their startups.

I am a huge fan of trend spotting and scenario planning. Most companies simply do not understand the insight and the power that developing and interpreting trends and scenarios can provide. Instead of being caught off-guard or surprised by emerging markets or emerging segments or new technologies, wouldn't it be much better to be aware of, or even prepared for, what is going to happen?
