Asking questions makes companies better. Curiosity is “a strong desire to learn or know something.” You’d think that would be highly prized in society and the workplace alike. However, in some cases, people don’t necessarily value curiosity. One person’s sincere desire to learn can be seen by another as a desire to pointlessly rock the boat, and as the waters of business become more complicated to navigate, there are many who’d rather shut the curious down.

Many voices can lead to brilliant places. Innovation is often presented as a mighty struggle between a lone inventor and a seemingly intractable problem. While this does occasionally happen, more often than not any great innovation is the result of people drawing from those around them for ideas and inspiration. Here are a few examples of companies that set the “lone inventor on a hill” myth aside in favor of real innovation with the help of IdeaScale.

I’m not a very good photographer. I love the idea of being a good photographer, but, sadly, I’m not one. The main reason is that when it comes right down to it, I’m not willing to do the hard work. You need to know about shutter speeds, and apertures, and framing, and all kinds of arcane stuff. And it takes a lot of practice. Sometimes, I’m tempted to try to skip the work and just try to get better by buying a really nice camera.

Psychology calls this the false consensus bias 1 because we assume much more commonality than reality warrants. False consensus bias contributes to making bad decisions when we design software. Alan Cooper noted this type of bias while wondering why otherwise smart, talented people often created such crappy software.

Most innovation work proceeds independently from company strategy. As a result, the products that arrive in the market are not well aligned with the company’s goals. This challenge is particularly significant in organizations with transformation-oriented strategies, where innovation must directly support growth, scalability, and strategic pivots.

How can a business model be scalable and unscalable at the same time? When I co-founded the online ebook platform PaperC back in 2008, I made an interesting discovery. Our idea, to build a digital platform for electronic textbooks, was very scalable because it was purely digital. On the other hand, we found it relatively difficult to scale the business until I fully understood the concept of business scalability.
