Atricle Dump - Innovation Management - smart people don't necessarily produce great ideas
Feedback is important in every sphere of life but more so in business simply because it tells how we're going and how we can improve.If we continue to improve, we'll continue to grow.The benefits of feedback are obvious:1. Consolidates the rel

A recent conversation with a former client made me realize there is a major disconnect in the world of small business.Here's what happened...While enjoying my decaf vanilla soy latte one afternoon with Jane (not her real name), she shared her exc
There are distinct processes that enhance problem identification and idea generation and, similarly, distinct processes that enhance idea selection, development and commercialisation. Whilst there is no sure fire route to commercial success, these processes improve the probability that good ideas will be generated and selected and that investment in developing and commercialising those ideas will not be wasted.
One common mistake leaders often make is to rely on smart people to come up with great ideas. This is flawed for a number of reasons:
a) The opinion of smart people is not what matters. The end-user is obviously more important as his or her take-up of the product will determine success or failure. Unfortunately, it is all too often the case that sufficient end-user analysis is lacking before investment is given a GO status. One of the many ways of assessing end-user benefits is to use the buyer experience cycle and utility layers to determine an idea’s ultimate value.
b) The opinion of smart people
Non profits provide a unique role in the community that they serve. They perform this role by providing specific services that are part of their mission statement and commitment to others.Often non profits are able to preform these services by utilizing dedicated volunteers

Interviewing is often perceived as being about the candidate. Makes sense – the candidate is the person being interviewed after all… True, but the interviewer is the person making the decision. Who are the most important persons in an electoral debate? Is it the two presidenti

Good typography is an art. There is a lot to know about type, from typeface design, to using appropriate typefaces, to learning typesetting rules and conventions. How you use type has everything to do with how your pages communicate and engage the reader. I could write about type

In the research conducted by Alisa Mosley, 200 out of 247 executives set the price for communications errors between $10,000 and $10, 000, 000. Undoubtedly, communication mistakes cost too much to a company and its’ image to be committed even from time to time. Effective communica
b) The opinion of smart people is less valuable than the opinions of a large number of people and a large number of diverse and novel people. The result is intellectual cross-pollination that overcomes path dependency, parochialism and leads to frame breaking.
c) Raw intellectual brainpower is arguably equal to experience. Each alone produce a set of results but together they produce richer results. Again, this leads to the conclusion that a large number of diverse and novel individuals produce better output.
