Some of the greatest creatives of all time started out by stealing. Not by stealing objects, but by stealing ideas. And far from it being a crime, I actively encourage you to go out and start stealing as well. Art is Theft – Pablo Picasso. In his short but enjoyable book Steal like an Artist , Austin Kleon suggests that all great artists started off by copying others, and then slowly learning their crafts through repetition before finally developing their own style.

I've been asked a number of times, by companies large and small, how to create an innovation capacity that lasts. This is a really interesting and important question, with a distinction. Note that what my clients are asking for is to create an innovation capacity that outlasts a product need, or market gap, or executive team member. After all, most (probably 90%) of all innovation projects undertaken in large corporations are reactive projects trying to respond to a market threat or competitive

What is your role as a manager? Is it to get the most out of your team? If that is the case, shouldn’t you offer as much assistance as possible, and help your team do their work to make sure it is not full of errors which would be found later on? Definitely not. That is the curse of micromanagement , where managers think they are helping by constantly being involved in what their team produces.

GE, once a large conglomerate, has announced that it will divide itself into three companies , a healthcare company, an energy company and an aviation company. There are a few things I'd like to comment on about this announcement, but what is really interesting (at least from an innovator's point of view) is that we get to have a live experiment about the innovation capabilities and capacities of three sister businesses, all entering the market at the same time.

People usually associate creativity with positive things, like producing beautiful art , scientific breakthroughs or successful new innovations. But creativity might also have a dark side. Research from 2012 suggests that people with higher creativity were more likely to be dishonest than less creative people. This was based on a number of different experiments: Workers in an advertising agency who reported their own job required high levels of creativity, and their managers also considered crea

For the rest of the year, I would like to take a moment and thank the people who have had a significant impact on me as an individual. The way they have lived their lives and their body of work has had an outsized impact on how I think about life in general and and work, in particular. Some of these are contemporary thinkers and some of them are just a memory.

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.

This is probably the best explanation that I have come across in a long time for the power of boredom. The current zeitgeist is all about shunning boredom. People do not want to feel the boredom. The moment they are alone with their thoughts, out comes the phone or the tablet and we get lost in the world of social media or the imaginary world of audio/video content.
