Idea to Value
APRIL 11, 2023
Recently, I was speaking with a corporate client about a challenge they were having with their innovation process.

The issue was that the company now had no idea which of the ideas should be taken forward.

The truth is that we can’t change anyone’s mind. Only they can do that. Yet as David McRaney explains in his new book, "How Minds Change," there are a number of new techniques that can help us be much more persuasive, but they don’t require brilliant sophistry or snappy rhetoric. They involve more listening than speaking, and understanding the context in which beliefs arise.

A few months ago, my wife and I had our first child ( not the child in the blog page image here). Now, I have never been a gym-freak, and noticed that my arms would quickly get tired after I carried them for only a few minutes. I worried what would happen when they quickly grew and got heavier. Would I soon be unable to hold them for more than a minute?

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. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

In my experience as a strategic advisor to business leaders as well as being a serial entrepreneur myself, I find that many people believe that they cannot become entrepreneurs because it is “too late” for them or perhaps the sun has set on their chance to make a massive change in an industry or the world. Whether it is the way entrepreneurship is marketed to the world these days or some other reason, these individuals feel there is a hard deadline on starting a successful business.
