I'm writing a series of blogs based on questions that I regularly receive about innovation. In my last post, I wrote about the staffing plan necessary to sustain growth and innovation , basing it in part on the Pareto rule. That is, 80% or more of your staff should be focused on the "core" business, keeping it humming and generating funds to pay for the other 20%, which should be focused on the next and the new.

One of the least-understood reasons why ideas are often not successful is the impact of biases. Biases in the scientific sense are mental shortcuts which our brains take, often because this is easier and more energy efficient. However, they can also very often result in the brain making the wrong decisions, or preferring answers and ideas which are less creative.

Podcasts have become a familiar aspect of our cultural landscape. When they first emerged in the early 2000s, they were considered to be a niche concept and unlikely to compete with radio. However, a recent study found that 32% of Americans now listen to a podcast at least once a month. As a result, it has grown into a rich and varied audio form, with contributors ranging from amateurs with nothing more than a microphone and a laptop to major news and entertainment studios.
