What is the point in sharing your idea with the world, if other people are just going to copy it anyway? Whether it is your idea or an innovation, you might be scared that once it is out there, someone else will take it and you will be left with nothing. However, that is not how innovation works. In most cases, innovation and creative ideas add more value to the market or industry than previously existed.

However, I could not help going back into my archives to dredge up a post I wrote almost ten years ago, which was entitled Innovation Fast and Slow. At the time I was writing this post, I was concerned that too many companies were under too much pressure to speed up their innovation activities and generate some interesting new ideas.

Going back into history, innovators were the rare people (Newton as an example) who had time and talent to innovate.

Have you ever heard of someone trying to “game the system”? This refers to the process whereby it is clear what the targets for success are, and an individual, group or company does just enough to qualify for meeting those specific criteria. Even if it means that more important overall success criteria suffer as a result. This can also be the reason why company performance begins to suffer over time, as more bureaucratic processes are introduced to manage employee performance.

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.
