No executive in the world would turn down operational excellence if you handed it to them on a platter even if they don’t exactly know what it is. It just sounds like something awesome. But operational excellence isn’t like an hors d'oeuvre you can pluck off a tray. In order to be achieved, it must be clearly understood, injected into the culture, and supported with a methodology to guide decisions.

If you’re feeling the need for more peace and quiet these days, you’re not alone. One of the latest trends sweeping the business world is the “pod” – a small, free-standing soundproof space that can comfortably hold one or two people. If you look around, you’ll notice them sprouting up in offices, airports and other public places where people need temporary privacy from noise and other people. .

I went to a meeting about innovation earlier this week with a former client and a discussion about digital transformation broke out. It was both interesting and strange at the same time. Most corporations are struggling to comprehend the changes in front of them, but at the same time are so fixated on short term thinking that they struggle to see the tsunami that is emerging just over the horizon.

Most companies say that they are investing in innovation. They will showcase large initiatives for gaining ideas and suggestions from across the organisation. They will point to their last brainstorming session and say how successful it was, how it produced hundreds of ideas (or at least post it notes). And they will proudly announce to their shareholders: Look at all the innovation we are doing!

Most of us have encountered a version of the saying, “You can’t improve what you don’t measure,” and it makes intuitive sense. Time itself creates points of comparison, whether you choose to evaluate them or not. Numbers don’t lie. Learn how to measure innovation success to improve the results of future innovation projects. Going forward on hunches, or feelings that a project is performing, is certainly possible, but it’s not wise.

Companies today worry too much about being fast. They want to fail quickly, pivot, and be first to market with their new idea. They want to make sure that they’re in front of customers before their competitors. It makes sense. Why would anyone want to be late to the game when you’d just have to take on an entrenched competitor who already has name recognition and a host of other competitive advantages?

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.

Why do R&D labs succeed in creating new technology, but fail at bringing these innovations to market?

Successful innovations happen in clusters, with people coming together to break down barriers, share knowledge, and create new systems. A single idea, no matter how powerful, has little hope of changing of the status quo unless it is connected to a larger framework and supportive culture. We call this Innovation Connectivity.
