Gibbard and Tamborello. In 2001 two musicians, Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tambrello, wanted to collaborate on some new compositions. The problem was that they lived hundreds of miles apart at opposite ends of America’s west coast. So Tamborello composed some rhythms (or ‘beats’) and sent them to Gibbard on CD by post. Gibbard added some instrumentals and vocals and returned the arrangements to his partner.

Often you hear the request made: “Can you give us a best practice snapshot; we would like to get a sense of where we are”. The trouble with best practice is you are looking at someone else’s practices and these are highly individual, made up of different groups of methodologies, processes, rules, theories, values, and concepts. These together have provided that specific company a level of success that others – mostly competitors – begin to notice.

We’ve observed newly motivated teams running landing pages or interviews, only to ignore the riskiest assumptions in their strategy. While testing can be a powerful tool, you’ll need to focus your teams’ experimentation efforts on high risk areas.

I am a big fan of Anthony Iannarino and his work. He is one of the few sales thought leaders who understands that to be successful in sales, one doesn’t just need to master the selling techniques but also master oneself in many ways. One such piece of insight from Anthony has inspired this post. In his post “How to Change Your Mental State Now” , he shared the following insight.

The true basis of leadership is built upon a model generated by an X and Y axis.

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.

Nearly three years ago, I wrote about an idea I had for a hiking companion app called Hike Mic. The basic premise was that you would hear stories and learn about a location while you hiked thru. Here’s what I had to say about it at the time: “What if there was a way that we could have an expert level travel companion with us at all times? Someone who could tell us about the foliage and the sediment, about the geology and the local history.

Apple created needs that people didn’t even know they had.” Hence, if you want to be an innovation leader, strive to create customer needs. This may sound good, but it’s a misbelief caused by confusing product solutions with customer needs.
