Companies are founded with innovation. Smaller start-ups pop up because they have an idea that no one in the market has done before, or a way to improve the industry they enter. It is no secret that many new businesses do not last because they stick with that initial revolutionary idea, living in the present success they have found with no new ideas to bring to the table in this ever-changing world.

October 10, 2023 Disruptive innovation is your guiding star to coming up with new, great, and reliable ideas. Everyone is capable of being an original thinker. You just need to be in the right environment. Too often organizations underestimate the power of their people, leaving the potential of problem-solving abilities in the dust.

Shortly after I first arrived at college, my wrestling coach told my teammates and I that we would all be attending a freshman technique camp. It turned out to be something quite different than what I had expected. He didn’t teach us any advanced or esoteric method, but instead demonstrated the basics. It was incredibly humbling. The fact that we were there in the first place, competing for a Division 1 program, meant that we had all demonstrated outstanding accomplishment.

Continuous improvement, often called Kaizen, is a fundamental concept in manufacturing that emphasizes the ongoing, incremental enhancement of processes, products, and operations. It involves a culture of constant vigilance for inefficiencies and a commitment to making minor, regular improvements. In manufacturing, continuous improvement is vital as it leads to increased productivity, higher product quality, reduced waste, and cost savings.

Retailers know the clock is ticking–legacy SAP Commerce support ends in 2026. Legacy platforms are becoming a liability burdened by complexity, rigidity, and mounting operational costs.

With college, the research suggests, comes connection. In recent years, multiple studies looking at economic mobility , friendship circles , and adults’ job, education, and housing networks , have revealed a consistent “connection premium” enjoyed by college grads. Most colleges aren’t shy about marketing themselves as hubs of connection. But if colleges care about equity and access, there’s a deeper question that college campuses should be asking about their students’ networks: Who is forming n

Most of us have memories of playing the game of catch either as children or with our children. I really shouldn’t call it a “game” because there are no winners and losers. There is no defense because everyone is on the same side. One participant tries to deliver the ball to the other in a way that they will be able to grab and return it. The ability to catch and throw a ball is important because it is a foundation for success in many other, more complex sports.

GUEST POST from Robyn Bolton Why are people so concerned about, afraid of, or resistant to new things? Innovation, by its very nature, is good. It is something new that creates value. Naturally, the answer has nothing to do with innovation. It has everything to do with how we experience it.

You might be wondering what, exactly, I mean by this question. Value-based care has been the strategy of choice for health care’s new entrants over the past decade-plus. Not eager to be left behind, and given government incentives to provide this type of care, many incumbents have attempted to implement similar strategies—usually with limited success.

We all identify goals to improve ourselves in some way. Whether our goal is to eat better, exercise more, spend more time with our family, or increase our productivity, we all have something we're striving for. However, in too many instances, we lose sight of our goals and fall back to old behaviors and the same results. Continuous improvement is no different.

All startup founders understand that getting their startups to the growth stage will present some challenges. Sometimes they are well-known and sometimes they are surprising, either because the founder does not know about them, does not know how to face them, or does not have the resources to do so. Knowing what challenges to anticipate, particularly during the earlier stages, will help you be better prepared to address them when they arise.

Product cost reduction is a good thing. Too much focus on product cost reduction prevents product enhancements, blocks new customer value propositions, and stifles top-line growth. Voice of the Customer (VOC) activities are good. Because customers don’t know what’s possible, too much focus on VOC silences the Voice of the Technology (VOT), blocks new technologies, and prevents novel value propositions.
