How can you determine if part of your business should be innovated on or not? Many companies and leaders become afraid to make a decision because they are afraid it might not work out. Ironically, not making a decision if often the worst thing you can do, as it is guaranteed not to change or improve anything. At best, you stay at the status quo. At worst, competitors begin to overtake you.

Building Innovation Ecosystems can tackle unique challenges How do we differentiate (traditional) approaches of Innovation to (evolving) Innovation Ecosystems? Is your innovation process closed only to you? Or have you gone to being more open in innovation with outside selected partners?

I've been reading and thinking a lot lately about what is described as a "culture of innovation". While I would like to think that such an animal exists, the more skeptical side of me doubts it. I think a culture of innovation is kind of like a unicorn: it would be cool if it existed, and some people claim to have seen one, but when you get up close it's just a normal animal that happens to be missing a horn.

When most people prompt generative AI, they do so within the paradigm of how they think about what could or should come next. For example, when searching Google, users may ask a question, search for the best Thai restaurant “near me,” or insert specific criteria based on filtered output, such as “best downhill mountain bike for intermediate riders.” That approach is often carried into prompting.

Deja vu. In 2015, many multinational companies exited Africa. Nestle cut staff across 21 countries and Barclays, Coca-Cola, Cadbury, Eveready, and SABMiller retreated from different African markets they once believed had promise. The allure of Africa, particularly the widely referenced Africa rising narrative, was fading. The reasons the multinationals cited were all too familiar: failing or inexistent infrastructure, smaller than expected consumer market, struggling institutions, and corruption

Many startups and innovators struggle to sell their products once they launch. Often, this is because while they love the idea for the product they have come up with, it is not actually solving a problem which the user perceives in their own lives. But how is it possible that intelligent, hardworking teams can make such glaring errors? Especially when they themselves can list all of the real, tangible benefits that their innovative solution brings?

If you cannot be the best in the world at something, is it even worth trying? Yes. Often, people can be afraid to begin a new creative endeavor, especially when they compare themselves to people who are the best in the world. After all, how can you compete with someone who is so much better than you are? What they fail to recognise is that these “best in the world” people have often been working on their skills, craft and experience for decades to get to where they are now.

Disruptive thinking challenges conventional approaches, fosters radical ideas and can lead to transformative innovations. It involves deliberately questioning established norms, encouraging unconventional perspectives, and embracing risks to create breakthrough changes. It is intended to start a revolution. It seeks to overturn the established standards, not for the sake of destruction but in order to create an appealing alternative.

When it comes to how society views creativity , there is unfortunately a clear stereotype of who is most creative. For hundreds of years, men in general have been listed as more creative than women. This creative stereotype is often based on the fact that throughout history, there have been more examples of famous creative men across science and the arts.

The French writer Albert Camus believed our existence was absurd. He compared the human condition to Sisyphus, the mythical Greek king condemned to roll a boulder uphill, only to see it roll back down, for eternity. Incredibly, Camus imagines Sisyphus, returning to his labors at the foot of the mountain, as happy, having found meaning in his task. That is the nature of existential rebellion, to find meaning for yourself in a universe that provides none.

Some years back I was invited to visit the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Over the years many of the world’s greatest minds have taken up residence there. It was where Einstein, along with other giants like Oppenheimer, von Neumann and Gödel, would reside until his death in 1955. It is a place, for me at least, in which stories permeate from every corner and crevice.

There are several notable historical examples where a large number of scientists opposed an idea that later turned out to be true. Here are some instances: The Theory of Special Relativity was put forward by Albert Einstein in 1905. It contained revolutionary ideas about light, energy and space-time.

Every time you produce something creative, there is a high chance that it might fail. It doesn’t matter if it is an innovative new product idea, a new song, or a new recipe. Whatever you produce, and no matter how successful you have previously been, it does not mean that customers will want what you have produced. For example, in recent years Hollywood films have more frequently begun to “bomb” at the box office, taking in less ticket sales than was expected.
