Innovation is often described as “something different that creates value.” And while “creating value” might sound great, it’s the “something different” that we often struggle with. Humans don’t like change. We might say we do. But “different” is unknown. It’s unfamiliar. And it’s uncomfortable. It requires us to change in some way, whether we're changing our attitudes, our processes, or our current ways of thinking.

"Where" is as important as who, what and when. We take it as obvious that we think in our head, that the brain is the organ in which thought occurs. [i] But what is now obvious was once obscure. The ancients thought that we think with our heart. Even Aristotle got it wrong.

A simple truth about status games is that we all play them, whether we are aware of it or not. It is our drive for status that helps us form and signal identity, figure out who we are in relation to others and derive a sense of meaning about our existence, whether that meaning is rooted in achievement, care for those around us or our ability to enforce our will on others.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources.

John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States, once said: "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader." This statement is a powerful call to action that should resonate with everyone who hears it. It urges us to step out from the shadows of passivity and indifference and assume the mantle of leadership, regardless of our position or status in society.

Premise: We now live in a world where we are going through a change of one kind or another. Even when we are not leading a change initiative, we are, at all times collaborating with others, who are not part of our team, people who have a different goal than our own, people whose contribution might be critical for our success. In such scenarios, one of the skills that becomes critical for our success is our ability to align and influence the various stakeholders that we work with.
