Even though innovation is a highly researched topic, the majority of the work has been conceptual, which in practice means that the researchers have looked at innovation and have tried to classify and explain it, as well as to find ways to best succeed in it.

Recently I was exploring the world of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and read an excellent Whitepaper from Aras Corp , one of the leading PLM solution providers. The Whitepaper called “ Product Complexity, Digital Transformation, and the Innovation Imperative- The race to reinvent how complex products are developed is here “ This made me a little jealous and a little wishing that ‘we’, across the whole of innovation management , could not have one of these platforms a

One factor I've been considering for some time has to do with the power of a corporate bureaucracy to create or block change. On one hand, bureaucracies are good, in that they codify practices, principles and processes and allow people to get more done quickly as a unit than they might get done alone.

Innovation strategy is often about direction and momentum. But in order to have either, you need at least a small amount of mass to get started. And as we all know, whether it’s a boulder or a bureaucracy, inertia keeps objects at rest from moving. So how do you get up some speed? Try these methods. Focus on small innovations. Big innovations often grow not out of big ideas, but a thousand little ones that come together at the just the right moment.

The Customer Journey Everyone is on a journey. Some quite consciously, others perhaps unknowingly, but they still are moving, evolving, and hopefully growing. Businesses are inevitably a part of the journey. Through their products and services, they influence the experience. Their influence might be, quite frankly for better or for worse. Or both. All of our individual journeys are made up of numerous sub-journeys.

Tony Seba, author of Clean Disruption of Energy and Transportation said “We are on the cusp of one of the fastest, deepest, most consequential disruptions of transportation in history.” It’s not uncommon to hear consultants, experts and authors put forth similar statements about other industries, other technologies, but in my research about transportation innovation, I’ve come to believe that this isn’t an overstatement.

If your job is to get your company, team, or community to innovate, you know how organizational forces can make it hard to even try something new. Visualizing the resources available is an effective first step in overcoming some of those organizational forces. Simply being able to see, and show, what you have allows you to make a compelling case for marshalling resources and even spark some initial interactions in that direction.

By Chris Galy, HR Executive Advisor, Moves the Needle Every organization's "greatest asset" is also its most underutilized. Of course, I am referring to the people. The very phrase "Our People Are Our Greatest Asset" rolls off the tongues of CEOs and top leaders so easily that it has become cliche. It’s become just another of those obligatory corporate catch phrases to say in every all-hands meeting and quarterly analyst call.

The relationship between strategy and positioning are both the result of strategic planning in which you first set the context within which you operate, and then define the ultimate position you want to achieve within this context. A strategy is your plan for how to move from where you are today, your current positioning, and where you ultimately want to be, your ideal strategic positioning.

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.
