Selling Innovation 08/10/2023

Selling Innovation We work with innovative start-ups in the tech and AI sectors who often find it hard to create a company, product, and service narrative. Their inclination is to focus on what they see as the innovation – the technical detail - rather than what interests customers most. You need to know your technology to instil confidence in the customer that your products work, and your service performance is great. But creating a compelling narrative about your company, products and services is equally important when it comes to building relationships and winning business. It's often the stories that people tell about what they do, and why, that matters most when it comes to customer, employee, and supplier engagement. /episode/index/show/889a4707-8bbe-46b7-88c3-421f47613273/id/27712944

AI - The Hype and the Reality 06/09/2023

AI - The Hype and the Reality There is much misinformed hype about apocalyptic scenarios where Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more intelligent than humans. But rest assured, whilst we need to accept the fact that the development of new applications made possible by AI will be as disruptive as the industrial revolution, and may be exploited by bad actors, the models that underpin AI, including deep learning using neural networks, will never make machines more intelligent than humans. It is simply not possible to take the step from what we know as AI today, to what we would describe as ‘general artificial intelligence’ - the human capacity for creativity, innovation and what is widely considered as just being “common sense”. /episode/index/show/889a4707-8bbe-46b7-88c3-421f47613273/id/27091131

Creating Time to Think 03/12/2023

Creating Time to Think Creating time to think is a key enabler of innovation. Organisations that create the time and environments for their people to think, and increase the quality of their collective team thinking, can foster a culture that increases innovation – as well as many other benefits. /episode/index/show/889a4707-8bbe-46b7-88c3-421f47613273/id/26204796

Improving Your Return on Investment From Innovation 01/19/2023

Improving Your Return on Investment From Innovation We need to think differently about how we set businesses up to innovate. Our analysis of funding SME product development and research using the current traditional approach shows we need change - the return on investment is too small. But this can be addressed by investing in innovation enablers, which come at much lower cost. These enablers focus on making innovation business-as-usual, creating a shared organisational purpose, collaborating to innovate, and creating market contagion - and can make the difference between success and failure. /episode/index/show/889a4707-8bbe-46b7-88c3-421f47613273/id/25658991

Strictly Come Dancing - A Contagious Innovation 08/08/2022

Strictly Come Dancing - A Contagious Innovation Many organisations have a plethora of great ideas but are unable to turn these ideas into some form of value. Innovations do not catch on and their potential impact is lost. The harsh reality is that it does not matter how good an idea is, there are a multitude of reasons why some innovations are not contagious. Connecting infection duration, opportunities, transmission and susceptibility is what we describe as joining the contagious innovation dots. And Strictly Come Dancing is a great example of how to join the dots to create a contagious and innovative franchise. /episode/index/show/889a4707-8bbe-46b7-88c3-421f47613273/id/23992671
