In business you’ve got to do two things: choose what to do and choose how to do it well. I’m not sure which is more important, but I am sure there’s far more written on how to do things well and far less clarity around how to choose what to do. Choosing what to do.

I'm writing a series of posts that examine some of my lessons learned after over 15 years of corporate innovation consulting. Past posts have included the concept of needing a why and a how for innovation , why ideas need a sponsor and how to understand the range of innovation options your company will consider. In this post I want to discuss the proliferation of ideas and their relationship to innovation.

The task of searching to resolve more complex problems allows Design Thinking to step up and become a far more visible component on how we can go about this. Design thinking needs to work in harmony with many other thinking skills to make its contribution.

The Mexican Beer manufacturer Corona has found an innovative new solution to the problem of plastic packaging which holds packs of beer together. They have redesigned their beer cans so that the top and bottom have a semi-screw mechanism, allowing cans to be “locked together” and carried like a tube. Allegedly the system is strong enough to comfortably connect 10 cans together ( just resist the urge to play with this like a sword like the guy in the video below ).

Today, more than one-third of workers in the United States are part of the gig economy, and that translates into 57 million people. For some, freelancing is a stopover between permanent jobs, but for 24 percent of workers in the U.S., it is their primary, full-time vocation. Despite missing out on traditional job benefits like paid time off, health insurance, and retirement plans, people participating in the gig economy tend to be happier than traditional employees because of the flexibility and

Innovation has to come from somewhere. Even the biggest game-changers come from understanding the “game” and are built on in-depth knowledge of how existing products or processes work. How businesses conduct operations on a daily basis can encourage or discourage breakthrough innovation. Businesses that strive for continuous improvement lay a better foundation for breakthroughs than businesses that preserve the status quo at all costs or otherwise eschew change.
