Many things can go wrong during the process of creating new products, services or business models. Let me give you ten examples from my own experience. You may recognize this as an array of all too familiar scenarios. If so, rest assured, you are not alone.
1. We´re not sure what we want. Ideation of new products and services happens ad hoc, usually at a time when a problem arises or the turnover decreases suddenly or when a competitor enters the market unexpectedly. The first question is: “What now?” Then the creed becomes: “We’ll get Smith to create a list.” From this moment it becomes clear that any current strategic business plans no longer provide much direction for innovation. Ultimately, the lack of clear directives leads to random thought processes and frustration. Frustration because the management, further down in the innovation process, decided to concentrate on something else than what you were focusing on before. Via Martin Gysler

Multi-tasking can be done effectively if it involves simple tasks that operate on completely different channels in our brain. For example, listening to the news while folding laundry. Via Howard Rheingold 
Howard Rheingold's curator insight,

"Task-layering" appears to be a kind of multi-tasking that works -- as opposed to the kind that degrades performance on each of the tasks we try to accomplish simultaneously. 
Peter Skillen's curator insight,
April 2, 7:52 AM
What I find interesting is the work Benjamin Bergen describes in Louder Than Words. http://www.louderthanwordsbook.com/ People often ask can we multitask as if there is a 'yes' or 'no' answer. Clearly, situations matter. Bergen points to research that suggests if we visualize or imagine certain activities - like hitting a baseball - the same regions of the brain are activated and engaged as if we were actually hitting that baseball. So even though we might expect the visual region to light up because we are 'seeing' something in our mind's eye, it is actually a motor region that is engaged. This, therefore, impacts our multitasking abilities for another 'motor' task. --> I love the rich texture of these ideas. Delete the scoop?

"Building blocks" for an innovative culture includes hard-to-measure characteristics such as values, behavior, and climate.

GENRE - La science apporte enfin une preuve pour étayer ce que nous savions déjà: toute cette histoire selon laquelle "les hommes viennent de Mars, les femmes de Vénus" est fausse. Via Coach HEC - Philippe Olivier Clement 
Orianne Corman's comment,
April 17, 9:23 AM
Avions-nous besoin de la science pour nous prouver cela? Il est clair que parfois il y a moins de différences entre un homme et une femme qu'entre 2 hommes ou 2 femmes. Nous sommes tous différents et c'est magnifique.De plus, je ne suis pas si certaine que les femmes et les hommes fonctionnent de la même façon ou presque car le cycle hormonal féminin impacte profondément la vie des femmes et, perso, j'en ai un peu assez que cet aspect soit, soit nié, soit utilisé pour prouver que les femmes sont plus faibles que les hommes et donc pourrait être l'autoroute à tous les abus de pouvoir d'un sexe sur l'autre.

Great article by Dutch innovation professor Jeff Gaspersz on the role of leadership in fostering innovation. In short: While organizations "underutilize the creativity of their employees", stimulating creativity should be a "core task in leadership" and "will become a strategic priority."
According to Gaspersz, innovative leaders...
"...will challenge our old ideas and stimulate our curiosity in discovering new and unconventional viewpoints" "...encourage their employees to be courageous and give them the space to act and even break out of the formation" "...are (those) who stimulates me to think along new paths, question my own familiar practices and challenge my existing assumptions" Delete the scoop?

Gisele HELOU's insight:
The lesson in Keats and Deming may be a simple one, at least insofar as innovation is concerned. First, we should focus on systems – in innovation we refer to ecosystems – and not on individuals and output. Second, we should understand that the intangible side is equally as important as the tangible. Combining these two dimensions – a deep understanding of the power of the system and a deep understanding of the power of the intangible – is what will lead us to innovative practices. It is not one or the other. It is both. At the same time. Delete the scoop?
