When it’s time to make meaningful change, there’s no time for consensus. When the worn path of success must be violated, use a small team. When it’s time for new thinking, create an unreasonable deadline, and get out of the way. The best people don’t want the credit, they want to be stretched just short of their breaking point. When company leadership wants you to build consensus before moving forward, they don’t think the problem is all that important or they don’t trust you.

There is a real increasing pressure to totally reinvent my business. The past business paradigm of reaching out, providing value, and making money is still there. Still, it is how we all undergo the changes needed in a radically different set of economic circumstances. We all are seeing the world in a very different light, in some ways a very harsh one, where the old normals are breaking down.

Why has our organization been so open and quick to innovate in ways we haven’t been previously once the pandemic hit? Executives have been asking me some version of this question a lot lately because they have been surprised by the innovation pace during the pandemic. As they’ve seen their organizations focus on survival, develop systems to enable new work processes, and figure out how to function, they’ve experienced remarkably rapid, innovative ideas and implementation.

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.

We had a good turn out and I think a good panel of speakers, and I found that even though I've been doing innovation related work for over 15 years th

Back in 1990, Dr. Michael Hammer, the father of business process reengineering, wrote a seminal Harvard Business Review article titled “ Reengineering Work: Don’t Automate, Obliterate.”. His idea was that you don’t want to automate existing processes, you want to rethink and reengineer them. Back then, companies would use software to automate bad processes, speeding up bad results.
