Idea generation is the heart of innovation. Creating this culture in your organization increases employee engagement and promotes collaboration. Innovation increases brand loyalty. Research shows 77% of consumers have been loyal to certain brands for more than a decade. One way to inspire the innovation process is to hold an idea generation competition.

How to Create Trust by Setting People Free. While several nations are celebrating their independence from foreign rule every year, the same cannot be said for the superimposition of various factors on people in workplaces. Employees also deserve freedom and independence from the command-and-control structures that are still very pervasive in corporate culture today.

Idea to Value
FEBRUARY 10, 2021
An important part of the innovation process is validating ideas. When done correctly, it is a powerful way of getting feedback from the market on what it would take to make the innovation a success. However, many people fall into a trap when looking for feedback. While they think they are asking people for unbiased, honest feedback to validate the idea or innovation, in reality what they are looking for is validation of themselves.

I love playing games. I believe that there are great benefits in playing games and in adopting a playful approach to life in general. Games help develop a range of vital skills in children and they love playing them. Games can also develop the same skills in adults but many grown-ups consider games to be childish and not worthy of their time. This is a pity and a missed opportunity.

One of the most controversial, and perhaps even misunderstood topics in innovation are the roles of risk and luck for innovation success. Do you have to get lucky to innovate successfully, or can you make your own luck? Is it always inherently risky to try to innovate, or can you manage risk by making smart decisions? These are fundamental questions I’m sure every innovator has had to battle with throughout their journey, but that don’t usually get the attention they deserve.

Kaizen events, also called rapid improvement sprints or blitzes, are an impactful way to implement improvement quickly, but they require planning and preparation to make them useful. We've heard many stories about Kaizen events that went wrong. That's not surprising because there are many ways that improvement events can go off the rails. The best way to avoid that outcome is to put in the effort ahead of time to ensure your event is a huge success.

The goal of Google and Amazon when it comes to search and voice activated personal assistants is to get to the point where these devices know us better than we know ourselves, serving up relevant information and answers to questions before we even know we want it, before we even ask for it.
