Innovation tends to focus around product performance - new products, new updates, new features. That’s why companies often think of R&D investment as the ingredient for innovation. But there’s plenty of innovation to be had in the areas that surround the product. By looking at successful innovators, we can see that they are adept at finding breakthroughs in these surrounding areas.

Have you ever been caught up in a sudden surge within a crowd, when it all suddenly moves, temporarily sweeping you off your feet, making the pulse race a little more until you actually begin to enjoy the sensation? It brings out a sudden rush of emotions. It can be intense, it moves you in a particular direction, often you are struggling to regain control, and everything around you heightens in your awareness.

Hmm. I bet the post title got your attention, but of course in this modern age of digital content we bloggers need headlines that pop through all of the noise and gain attention. It helps, of course, that I'm of the opinion that the headline is provocative, and has, as Kissenger once said, the added benefit of being true. Innovation, as practiced today in most corporations, is far too "easy" and commercialization is far too difficult.

I'm going to reach for one of those grand unifying theory type of thought experiments today, connecting what Carl Sagan said about science with what we believe to be true about innovation. Sagan had a wonderful way of explaining science. I especially enjoy what has come to be called the " Baloney Detection " kit. You can see the entire discussion of the Baloney Detection kit on the wonderful Brain Picking site (which you should visit regularly for its expansive look at a whole host of topics).

AI and automation are currently transforming the way sales and marketing teams operate. Generative AI crafts personalized outreach at scale, while conversational AI bots are engaging prospects in real time. Robotic process automation streamlines manual workflows by triggering tasks the moment a prospect takes a key action, and advanced AI analytics surface hidden patterns in the pipeline, improve forecasting, and help teams make data-driven decisions with confidence.

Back in October I introduced you to the subtractive art of Todd Clarke , who creates visual one-pagers for books. Realizing there may be an attractive market for his unique art, he’s decided to kick things up a notch or two. He recently launched VisualOnePagers.com, and unsolicited by me, produced a couple of one-pagers for two recent posts of mine.

We never seem capable of adapting as well as we should be. Adapting always seems a work-in-progress, or it is often something where we are simply making little or no progress! We often stay ‘stuck’ in the way we do ‘things’ around here, never seemingly able to break out into something new or different. To adapt we need to open ourselves up to learning and adjusting our organizational ‘form’ in new ways.

Like many other hyped and highly anticipated phenomena, innovation has reached its saturation point, becoming a constantly used concept that simply isn't delivering as much meaning and value as has been promised. That's not to say the hype or potential impact of innovation isn't true. It's just that, as with any other new technology or capability, the advocacy gets ahead of the reality.

For me, fitness is everything. Having been woken up a few years ago to the fact that I might not be as fit as I thought I was, it figures centrally in life. It requires more than simply eating right and exercising…two things that many people struggle with. It demands a mental discipline that few people are equipped to handle alone. Fortunately, I had a nutritionist and cardiologist to assist me.

The days of simply having ideas moving through a pipeline and coming out the other end as finished product and services seems part of our great past. I believe Innovation is becoming overwhelmed by all the changes we are applying into innovation activity and its management. I would say the IM system is under even greater strain from the shifts coming from the multiple applications of technology, new approaches to design and modelling as well as all the necessary engagement and touch points.

Disruptive innovations are defined as those new products and services that are so unique and powerful that they literally disrupt the entire industry. The cloud, for instance, was disruptive because it changed the way that people store and use information and applications. Mobile technology was also disruptive because it revolutionized the way that we communicate and live our lives.

She had never run a company before and had little financial experience, having worked mainly in Sales and Human Resources functions.

Is Agility compatible for many working in established businesses? “To be agile” is often a badge of honor. It conveys your flexibility, nimbleness and your ability to be adaptive. Agility is today going far beyond just being responsive,it goes into constantly adjusting and being versatile, modifying to meet rapidly changing conditions. Yet this often seems the very opposite within many of our organizations and the very people employed within them.

What does it take to sustain innovation in your organization? Ideally, you could devote time, money, and resources to a think tank that had nothing to do but produce a steady stream of promising innovations all day every day. But that isn't realistic for the majority of organizations that do not have the name Google or GE on a sign out front. Everyone else needs some assistance to achieve and maintain a state of regular and consistent innovation.
