Idea to Value

JUNE 28, 2023

Some people still debate whether creativity is something which only certain people are born with, or whether it can be developed in everyone. Well, we have already previously seen that creativity is determined more by our nurture (upbringing) than by our nature (genes we are born with). However, we have also seen that children appear to be more creative than adults , and that divergent thinking creativity rates fall as we age.

Managers today must balance their day-to-day work with multiple “ands,” such as delivering on quarterly objectives and thinking strategically. Given these numerous demands, managers tend to deprioritize their own career development. It doesn’t have to be that way. The more managers take control of their development, the better able they’ll be to avoid the common career mistakes that will get in the way of their growth.

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.
