the future of work: organizing around ideas instead of location
One of the most interesting innovations to come out of the coronavirus crisis (and it seems that nothing ever changes unless there is a crisis) is that the myth of location has been dispelled – we no longer need to gather in the same physical space in order to do much work. Sure, there is…

in a complex world, humans are slaves to the exact
Do you know what product managers do? Do you know what startup founders do? In my view, the skill set for each of the above is pretty much the same. Product managers need to have the skill set to manage envisioning a product from inception to launch and beyond. The same for startup founders. But,…

f**k “innovation!”
I don’t know about you, but I’m just about ready to say the above, loudly and clearly, uncensored. I am about to give up on the whole idea of helping corporates to build a more innovative culture, to help them to create new innovative products, to dig deep into their customer’s jobs-to-be-done, and solve them.…

creativity threatens the structure and function of everyday life
I’ll bet that you believe that you are a creative person. I don’t think you would be reading this blog if you weren’t interested in innovation, startups, and the future. So I feel pretty safe in assuming that you are creative. I love creativity. I think creativity is incredible. When creativity goes wild and starts…

the dangerous and radical and disruptive are squashed
You are an innovator – and you are proud to be an innovator. You pride yourself on listening to your customer’s desires and building products which do just that. The only problem is: your customer’s job-to-be-done is not aligned with your company’s job-to-be-done. You’ve researched deeply – you’ve looked at the market – you’ve talked…

infinite diversity in infinite combinations redux
If you don’t already know, I’m a huge Star Trek fan – I love all of the shows from the beginning. Not so much the recent TV series, as I feel that it has stepped away from the original vision of the show – that the human race had already figured out all of the…

stop letting your people sink or swim
I interviewed all sorts of interesting people on my show – a few weeks ago, I interviewed George Aye, who started an agency that only works with non-profits. He told me of a fascinating culture at their organization that sounded amazing and opposed from most of the other “agency” cultures I’ve ever been involved with.…

timidity rules: its time to make the world bold again
I recently returned from a week in Palm Springs. Being a digital nomad, I find that I can work from anywhere in the world. Still, it helps when I’m in the contiguous United States; as most of my customers are scattered across North America, it’s easier to get on Zoom calls and connect with the…

how to equate supply & demand
Sales sucks. Several years ago, I worked for a web design company here in Silicon Valley. I won’t tell you how long ago it was, but at the time, we were able to charge customers upwards of $1M to build a single web page. I was hired as the Director of Engineering – my small…

Why Do I Do This?
Once upon a time, a corporate innovator was having trouble bringing innovation into their organization. No matter how hard they tried to guide the culture of the organization to be more innovative or convince leadership to invest both time and money into innovative new products, service and businesses, its seemed that no matter what effort…
