First, let’s unpack a Culture OF Innovation vs A Culture FOR Innovation. Innovation is not a monolithic entity that can be injected into an organisation’s cultural fabric. Instead, it emerges as the synergistic product of elements intentionally combined within a nurturing environment.

The mantra of modern business decision-making is often tied to the basic concept of data-driven reasoning. If you hold a leadership position within an organization, you know that understanding data is a mandate. Data is the foundation for supporting a thesis, building consensus around a point of view, or building an argument for change.

In one of my favorite essays the physicist Richard Feynman wrote, “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that.” I can think of no greater example of this simple axiom than the practice of change management, especially with regard to communication. There is an enormous track record of failure—study after study finds that the vast majority do not succeed.

When you’re working with new people, spending time upfront to have an explicit and open conversation about each other’s work styles and preferences can prove to be one of the best time investments. This “style alignment” conversation can lay a foundation for trust and understanding and help you set agreements for how to successfully work together. Yet, many people shy away from having these conversations for two reasons.

Identifying as an organizational member — or feeling a strong sense of attachment to the organization — is generally a positive thing for employees and employers. But our research on workplace incivility and mistreatment shows that it can also shape when — and if — employees recognize and respond to subtle forms of discrimination against women at work.

Since then, the organization has ranked countries and territories based on the perception of public sector corruption. Investors and multinational companies use the CPI and other global indices to make decisions on whether or not, and how much, to invest in a country.

To repeatedly work through a process that allows you to refine whatever you’re trying to create. That might be building a prototype, testing it and building another version based on what you’ve learned.

Whenever a new technology comes along, large companies think you need to appoint a designated senior leader — a “czar,” in popular parlance — and it will get taken care of. This, however, is a mistake. The process usually starts when teams are pitching leadership on wildly optimistic and conflicting use cases, and the board, excited but unsure how to proceed, puts some poor, unsuspecting soul in charge of the whole thing.

Companies that are struggling to find the right place to deploy new AI tech should consider use cases involving “voice of the customer” applications — parsing, interpreting, and responding to customer input from all different channels. They are typically easier to implement than employee productivity use cases because they don’t require as much behavior change, and easier to measure improvements in economic value because improving customer satisfaction often has a financial payoff.
