The innovation landscape is shifting, and the tremors are strongest in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. For a moment, OpenAI felt like an impenetrable fortress, the company that cracked the code and opened the floodgates of generative AI to the world.

Collaboration is a favorite theme in strategy decks and leadership keynotes. Leaders say it’s essential for innovation, agility, empowerment, and execution. But if you’ve worked in or with large organizations, you’ll know something feels off: Teams want to collaborate and not just within their own team, but across functions and silos, and even with partners or external experts.

For the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has lived primarily on our screens and in the cloud — a brain without a body.

We are currently operating an analog economy in a digital world. As an innovation strategist, I often talk about Braden Kelley’s “FutureHacking” — the art of getting to the future first. But sometimes, the future arrives before we have even unpacked our bags. The recent discourse around “The Great American Contraction“ has illuminated a structural fault line in our society that we can no longer ignore. It is what I call the Tax Trap.

As targeted trapped value gets released, the remaining value is held in place by a secondary set of ...

I can’t believe that I’m writing this. Honestly, I can’t believe I’m even thinking this. I’m an open-minded person, but I truly never thought that anything would ever change my mind on this topic. And yet, I must confess that I’ve come to the conclusion that… (deep breath)

Have you ever walked into a restaurant bathroom and found paper towels scattered on the floor or an overflowing trash can? What immediately crossed your mind? What did you think about the restaurant?

I have a friend who was once ambushed on a TV show panel. Being confronted with a clearly offensive remark, she was caught off-guard, said something that was probably unwise (but not untrue or unkind), and found herself at the center of a media-driven scandal. It would cost her enormously, both ...
