If you or your company has invested in an innovation or project, and it just is not working, when is the right time to stop it? Or if everything is going fine in your company but the market is changing, how do you know when to change the business model? Research shows that the more an individual or company has previously invested in something (whether it be money, time or effort), the more likely they are to want to continue doing it, even if the correct decision would be to stop.

Crowdsourcing allows organizations to find and work with self-selected volunteers to accomplish tasks, gather information, or gain new ideas. The end result is not just the work and insight of one person, but of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands. However, project managers might wonder exactly who these “crowd workers” are. Because they choose to participate, rather than being selected by the organization, it’s easy to wonder if crowd workers are truly as qualified to weigh in on the future of

Why is it that while so many companies say they want to encourage creativity, they actually end up rejecting it? Are they lying, or is there something unconscious which is happening? This is what researchers Jennier Mueller, Jack Goncalo and Shimul Melwani set out to study, and published their results in The Bias Against Creativity: Why People Desire but Reject Creative Ideas.

Innovation is critical to establishing new solutions and is something that every business handles. It can come in many different forms and styles, but regardless of the methods you use, innovation cannot be ignored. However, when working in a digital workspace, creating lasting innovative solutions is much more difficult than usual. Instead of circumventing the innovation process, you can use an online whiteboard to create new innovative solutions during a litany of different scenarios.

I've been noodling lately about what new way of thinking or new perspective or approach we can bring to companies and organizations that may help break what I think is a current innovation gridlock. Today, a LOT of companies are talking about innovation (and digital transformation) and some are practicing what I'd like to call innovation theater - that is, doing some window dressing around innovation without actually committing to a real innovation program or deep change.

Introduction. Innovation and creativity are two things that are necessary in order for teams to operate well in the workspace. Especially, when they are involved in collaboration, brainstorming, and ideation, innovation is critical to your success. You would think that innovation would falter when people transitioned to working online, and sometimes while working remotely people can feel disinterested or uninvolved in their workplace.

Do you know what matters most to your customers? If you aren’t living and breathing the problems your customers face every day, you will likely be unable to empathize with their needs, and providing meaningful innovation to address them. For the past 25 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of groups across dozens of big companies and startups. One of the biggest barriers brands face when it comes to meeting the needs of their target customer is a lack of understanding of a customer’s pain points.

As all of us working on innovation know, it’s quite an opaque topic that many innovators and organizations don’t talk about openly. As a result, innovation is an area that’s fraught with many common myths and misconceptions. That’s unfortunate, because those less experienced in innovation often end up going about it all wrong, and as a result, we as customers, and as a society, get less bang for our buck – and have to deal with challenges that could’ve already been solved.
