I've been thinking for years that we have innovation all wrong. We treat innovation as it if requires years of experience, deep knowledge of an industry or a technology, or mastery of a specific subject. I think far too often we fall into the fallacy of expertise, and look for great ideas from people who are deeply experienced in one technology or field.

AUGUST 5, 2022
Too many startups and scale ups today think that the way to success is by being fast. Especially, by growing fast. Speed is king. You need to be the first to market , even if you do not know what your business model is yet. “Move fast and break things” But if you look at making innovation and growth like a scientist would , there is a way of building a business which is much more effective than just speed.

The truth is that values are essential to how an enterprise honors its mission. They represent choices of what an organization will and will not do, what it rewards and what it punishes and how it defines success and failure. Perhaps most importantly, values will determine an enterprise’s relationships with other stakeholders, how it collaborates and what it can achieve.

A recent Economist article notes that “Latin Americans need to rebuild their democracies from the ground up,” and that if “the region does not rediscover a vocation for politics as a public service and relearn the habit of forging a consensus, its fate will get only worse.”. The sentiment is understandable. In the region, citizens are electing more and more extremist politicians.

Educators preach about growth and grit to children, but the system itself fails to encourage perseverance and curiosity. Instead, it does the opposite by affixing labels to students, sorting them into relatively static groups, and signaling to the students that their effort doesn’t matter. This learning model is an outgrowth of a dangerous zero-sum mindset.
