The Challenge of Measuring Innovation

Peer Insight

Since 1955, the average lifespan of an S&P 500 company has decreased by 44 years. And in the last 15 years alone, 52% of S&P 500 companies have disappeared. Whichever way you slice it, it’s never been harder for companies to survive, let alone thrive. And in this environment, innovation plays a dual role: Reaper and Redeemer. .

VUCA is a matter of perspective

Jeffrey Phillips

VUCA is the new black. Suddenly everyone has realized that sometimes the economy or markets are volatile or uncertain. If I were older and cranky I'd blame this on the millennials, not because they are millennials but because they've never lived with a stock market that goes down. Volatility seems like something we've only just discovered. Not too many people seem to remember the stock market crash of 2008, but of course that was a decade ago.

Focus on the Problem, not the Customer’s Request

Destination Innovation

Image by William Iven from Pixabay. The best innovations solve real problems. They provide solutions that customers are prepared to pay money for. So it seems to make sense that we should listen carefully to customer requests. But this can be a mistake. In the famous words of Steve Jobs, “It isn’t the customer’s job to know what they want.” The customer will often express the kind of solution he would like to see.
