So you can imagine my trepidation in using FOMO - the "fear of missing out" - when writing about innovation. However, rather than simply expand on innovation FOMO, I'd like to introduce another, even more important issue - FOMAD.

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.

Awareness and attention are at the core of mindfulness, and it also includes active observation without judgements of memories, and personal experiences. When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune with what we are sensing in the present, rather than dwelling in the past or fearing the future.

The great Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw once said, “the single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Too often, leaders in the corporate sphere assume that once a new project – such as the implementation of an innovation management platform – is announced, users will naturally ‘get the message’ and adopt it as a standard business practice.
