Innovating to what's next...

Teamwork is a constant in organizational life. You will work on teams for the majority of your career. Some of those teams will be an uplifting, engaging experience—but most will be an average or even a draining experience. Because most teams aren’t high-performing ones. Most teams fail to achieve a level of performance above the average of each individual’s capabilities. Most teams lack what Stephen Covey would call “synergy” but what organizational psychologists call “collective intelligence.”

Alright, let’s dive deep into the fascinating case of the Kawasaki Corleo, a hydrogen-powered four-legged robot, and dissect it through the lens of human-centered change and innovation. As our founder Braden Kelley would tell you, it’s not simply a matter of “yes” or “no.” Innovation is a complex beast, and we must approach it with nuance.

One of the most annoying things I hear from leaders is that “we had a great strategy, but just couldn’t execute it.” That’s simply not possible. If you can’t execute it, it’s not a great strategy. Most likely, it was a fantasy cooked up by some combination of consultants and investment bankers which was enshrined in PowerPoint.

In today’s competitive landscape, a strong value proposition is essential for any business to thrive. It’s the foundation of your marketing strategy, the core of your brand promise and the key to attracting and retaining customers. But what are the ingredients of a truly successful value proposition?

A great product alone isn’t enough to stay ahead in today’s market. Businesses need to find new ways to generate revenue and build stronger customer relationships. One of the best ways to do this is by offering services—either alongside or instead of physical products. Done right, service monetization creates steady income, enhances customer loyalty, and opens new growth opportunities. Yet, many companies struggle to make it work. So why are services such a valuable revenue stream? And what are the common mistakes businesses make?

Et si manger sans mettre son jeu en pause devenait enfin possible ? C’est le pari (aussi fou que génial) relevé par la marque indonésienne Haraku Ramen Halal en dévoilant « The One Noodle », une nouille de 3,5 mètres de long pensée pour les gamers. L’idée : permettre aux joueuses et joueurs de savourer leur repas sans jamais quitter leur écran. Une création à la croisée de la food culture et du gaming, aussi inattendue qu’ultra ciblée.

Quand un restaurant irlandais décide de servir l’addition à la sauce Ryanair, même le PDG de la compagnie aérienne ne peut que sourire. De passage au restaurant Luvida à Navan, en Irlande, Michael O’Leary a eu droit à une addition personnalisée, truffée de clins d’œil aux fameuses “options payantes” qui ont fait la réputation de Ryanair. Une opération aussi culottée qu’hilarante, qui fait le tour des réseaux sociaux.

Ultimately, if a product is to succeed as a business it needs to prove it is a business. And the only way to do this is to generate sufficient revenues to either pay the bills, pay investors or to incentivise investors to put more money into the business on the premise that revenues will ultimately one day increase to the point where the business becomes viable.

But what is monetization? Monetization is not just about making money - it’s about finding the right strategy that aligns with your business model and audience. From advertising and subscriptions to affiliate marketing and product-led growth, different monetization methods provide unique opportunities for revenue generation. This blog post will explore the meaning of monetization, its various models, and how businesses and individuals can leverage these strategies to maximize their earnings.

Beijing Betavolt New Energy Technology Company Ltd claims to have developed a miniature atomic energy battery that can generate electricity stably and autonomously for 50 years without the need for charging or maintenance. It said the battery is currently in the pilot stage and will be put into mass production on the market.

Pour arriver à un tel résultat, la société utilise la combinaison d'un isotope radioactif nickel-63 (⁶³Ni) et d'un semi-conducteur diamant de 4e génération. La batterie BV100 se compose d'une couche de 2 microns de ⁶³Ni prise entre deux couches semi-conductrices de diamant monocristallin d'une épaisseur de 10 microns chacune.

Microlight3D, meanwhile, produces two-photon photopolymerization (2PP) machines capable of fabricating components with 0.2-micron resolution. The company also offers a DMD maskless lithography machine that can create traces as narrow as 1.5 microns. The partners are particularly focused on integrating the maskless lithography system with FLUI’DEVICE. Their primary target market includes research institutions, medical companies, and universities that currently use such equipment.

À l’occasion de la Journée internationale pour l’élimination de la violence à l’égard des femmes, UN Women et l’agence IMPACT BBDO dévoilent une campagne poignante et symbolique : InkVisible. En détournant le henné traditionnellement associé aux mariages et à la célébration, l’initiative dénonce une réalité bien plus sombre, celle des violences domestiques dont sont victimes des millions de femmes au Pakistan.

From the harmless to the revolutionary, innovations throughout history have often been met with suspicion, fear, and sometimes outright hostility. This pattern is so persistent across cultures and time periods that it reveals something fundamental about human nature: we have a complicated relationship with the unknown. Today's breakthroughs—from artificial intelligence to genetic engineering—face similar resistance. But is this reaction justified, or is it part of a predictable cycle we've been repeating for centuries?

Le 9 mars dernier, un chercheur français du Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) a été refoulé par les États-Unis alors qu’il se rendait à un congrès scientifique dans le domaine de la recherche spatiale. Son téléphone et son ordinateur furent fouillés et il fut un temps menacé de poursuites judiciaires en raison de la présence de messages considérés comme hostiles au président Donald Trump.

La révélation par la Commission européenne il y a quelques jours du projet de "loi omnibus" pour réviser les grandes normes du Green Deal a déchaîné les débats dans le monde de l'entreprise et en particulier dans le secteur de la Responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE). La directive CSRD sur le reporting social et environnemental des entreprises, celle sur le devoir de vigilance ou encore la taxonomie verte sont ainsi sous la menace d'un projet massif de dérégulation, qui a suscité de vives réactions parmi les acteurs de la transformation durable.

Examples showcased on the official website demonstrate its ability to independently think, plan, and execute complex tasks, delivering complete results, CCTV.com reported on Thursday.

Un simple changement de nom, un message fort. Face aux tensions commerciales entre les États-Unis et le Canada, une initiative originale s’est invitée sur les ardoises des cafés du pays : rebaptiser l’Americano en “Canadiano”. Derrière ce geste en apparence anodin, une véritable déclaration d’indépendance à l’égard des politiques protectionnistes de Donald Trump.

A French start-up, Constellation Technologies & Operations (CTO), aims to usher in a new era of space telecommunications with its Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellite constellation.

A new ranking of Europe’s startup hubs by the Financial Times, Sifted and data provider Statista has rated 150 of the best campuses, labs and other institutions offering incubator and accelerator programmes to rapidly-growing tech companies across the continent.

Neutron irradiation inside a fusion power plant might instantaneously suppress the superconducting magnets’ ability to carry current without resistance (called critical current), potentially causing a reduction in the fusion power output. Now, a series of experiments has clearly demonstrated that this instantaneous effect of neutron bombardment, known as the “beam on effect,” should not be an issue during reactor operation, thus clearing the path for projects such as the ARC fusion system being developed by MIT spinoff company Commonwealth Fusion Systems.
