Idea to Value

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024

Many startups and innovators struggle to sell their products once they launch. Often, this is because while they love the idea for the product they have come up with, it is not actually solving a problem which the user perceives in their own lives. But how is it possible that intelligent, hardworking teams can make such glaring errors? Especially when they themselves can list all of the real, tangible benefits that their innovative solution brings?

The biggest misconception about change is that once people understand it, they will embrace it. That’s almost never true. If you intend to influence an entire organization— or even an entire society—you have to assume the deck is stacked against you. The status quo has had years—and sometimes decades or longer—to build connections and form networks.

In the fast-paced and competitive world of business, innovation is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity. Companies must continually evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of their customers, outpace competitors, and adapt to new market dynamics. One powerful method I use for generating innovative ideas is called Tri-Force Ideation. It involves focusing on three key elements: Strengths, Values, and Assumptions.

Yet, more often than not, that’s what otherwise smart, accomplished people set out to do. There are a few reasons that this is the case.

This creative stereotype is often based on the fact that throughout history, there have been more examples of famous creative men across science and the arts.

Back in the Gilded Age of the 19th century, it was taken for granted that industrialists were all powerful. Men met in smoke-filled back rooms, traded information and, much like Adam Smith described, conspired against the public to raise prices and increase profits. Eventually, the public could bear no more, political pressure built, and legislation was passed to prevent collusive and predatory behavior.
