One of the most annoying things I hear from leaders is that “we had a great strategy, but just couldn’t execute it.” That’s simply not possible. If you can’t execute it, it’s not a great strategy. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]].

Credit Chrisnaton, Flickr. I was recently working through a set of older presentation files and came across this extract concerning innovation again and thought I must share this. Sadly, it rings true as much as it did those (many) years back. “ Strategy is useless without innovation; innovation is directionless without strategy” Below is an extract from “Reinventing Innovation” by John J Kao.

I'm lucky to have the opportunity to read and review a number of books in the innovation and strategy space, and I find many of the books have interesting insights or promote new ideas but often aren't overly actionable. However, I've always found the insights of Roger Martin useful. His book - Opposable Mind - is a great book about capturing and merging two disparate ideas or opinions to form new viewpoints, products or services.

When people first start developing their creative skills for the first time, they often go through a similar sequence of learning and trying new things. They take something they already know and like, such as a drawing or song produced by a famous artist, and then: Copy it, until they can reproduce or perform it to a decent standard. Transform it, to change it and put their own mark on it.

They aren’t. People think that any small mistake or embarrassment is going to be noticed and judged by everyone around them. Yet in reality this is not what happens. Even if you do something embarrassing, like falling over, forgetting a word while speaking, spilling coffee on your shirt or snorting while you laugh, and you feel like everyone in the world noticed, in reality that is just you suffering from the spotlight effect.

Suddenly the Pacific Islands have become a hot election issue. That is because the Solomon Islands agreed to China using its own security guards to safeguard Chinese businesses and projects from attack and looting in the wake of recognising China instead of Taiwan. It raises the question; are the Pacific Islands Australia’s “backyard” (a description to which Solomon’s PM took umbrage), and if so, what could be done to keep out other powers such as China?
