HYPE Innovation
JANUARY 4, 2023
Innovation culture is one of those terms that’s hard to define – poll 10 people on the street and we’d likely get 10 different interpretations. Yet we tend to know it when we see it. I often find myself working with companies that, in the past, have tried a generic “open suggestion box” approach to innovation: Create an ideas portal, let people post ideas spontaneously and see if anything interesting comes up.

Like millions of others, I have been playing around with ChatGPT. In an earlier post , I asked it some generic questions and got some generic responses. So I decided to put it to the test and see how it would do with my Invisible Solutions content. Can the AI system reframe problems better than the 25 lenses? To put it to the test, I decided to ask it to solve the baggage claim problem.

Agility, the ability to think fast and move quickly, is an imperative for every team this year. That’s because there’s never been more uncertainty – around technology, the economy, global-political turmoil, and just about everything else. I’ve led teams in both big companies and startups. I’ve built new teams. And I’ve helped fix dysfunctional ones.

Organizations that embrace the continuous improvement approach to business have many great tools and techniques from which to choose. Some organizations use them as part of a structured methodology like Lean, Six Sigma, or Toyota Kata. Others leverage them on their own.

Innovation labs have been hip for the last decade or so, yet the story is that they only last 3-5 years. Something is up here. It’s not up to the innovation labs or teams to produce innovation. I know, it sounds like a paradox. What it should really be about is an innovation mindset. The difference is the output. Innovation is defined differently by every department in a company.
