Scalpels for left-handed surgeons. Energy bars for vegan ultra-marathon runners. Lightweight, customised harness belts for speed-climbers. Replicas of the world’s most famous buildings for tropical fish aquariums. A social network for billionaires. All of the ideas above might be possible high-quality products, which would be extremely sought-after by the target market.

When do you have your best ideas: Right at the beginning of creative work, or later on when you are exhausted? Interesting new research sheds a light on how you might be wrong about your own creative process. Brian J. Lucas and Loran F. Nordgren wanted to study at what point people expected to be their most creative, and when they actually produced their most creative work.

I'm often asked how many people should be employed in innovation work in larger organizations. As if there is a magic number! For those of you who remember the Hitch hiker's guide to the Galaxy , the actual number is 42. Of course, with that and a towel, you can accomplish almost anything. It's a joke only Hitch hiker fans will appreciate. But the question about staffing for growth, new products and innovation is an important and interesting question.

While this statement may seem like the most obvious thing in the world, it is amazing how often we don’t think through it rationally. The vast majority of ideas are actually not very good. And most of them are quite bad. This is especially true at the very beginning of ideas, when they are not yet fully formed, and most resemble ugly babies. Very few of these ideas will turn out to be truly creative and have an impact.

Is ‘innovation’ everyone’s job – as so many claim it is? Or is it not everyone’s job – as the counterargument goes? The reality is not quite so simple. Dive in as we examine the three cases of significance here – two in which innovation is everyone’s job, and one in which it isn’t. The post Let’s Settle the Debate – Innovation Both Is & Is Not Everyone’s Job appeared first on InnovationManagement.

Crises often serve to exacerbate our natural tendencies as humans and leaders. During crises, the trend to solely focus on execution, at the expense of innovation, becomes most obvious.

How I learned to stop procrastinating and start realizing that now is the best time to launch or pivot a new product offering or startup – yes, despite the pandemic. Were you in the middle of launching a new product or startup when the pandemic hit? Like a lot of entrepreneurs, you probably hit the brakes on your project or put your new ideas on the back-burner in order to conserve resources and ride out the uncertainty.

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.

One aspect of any successful innovation portfolio is the way you manage your pipeline of new ideas. Using a pipeline, you can take a large number of ideas you want to test, and quickly and cheaply prioritise those which are showing the most promise and progress. If you want to visualise it, it should look like a funnel, where a large number of ideas or projects are fed in the top, wide part of the funnel, and during various review stages, and as time passes those which show less promise are remo

While many have solely thought of Bitcoin when the term “cryptocurrency” is referenced, today it is the system they are built on that is disrupting many entities in the financial industry and beyond. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are programmed on a system called blockchain. This system facilitates a peer-to-peer transaction network that operates directly between users without an intermediary.

Learn about this innovation framework and find training resources, articles, tips, and more. JTBD (or Jobs to Be Done) is a theory that describes consumer action. Consumers buy products and services to get jobs done – and while the individual products/services come and go, the underlying job-to-be-done remains. In the innovation process, this really comes down to trying to find better ways of accomplishing this JTBD, rather than focusing on the product itself.

Recent global events have set in motion a ripple effect of change. However, the truth is that there have been other events or developments that have triggered significant shifts before 2020, and there will be other agents of change well after 2021. To navigate ongoing global and local changes, we need to be prepared for uncertain futures. Foresight is a powerful tool that organizations can utilize to anticipate and lay the necessary groundwork for different probable futures.
