Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

These 7 words are haunting. In the world’s best-selling book, this short sentence is a sobering summary of a failed leader’s life. King Jehoram was a horrible leader. He was a tyrannical, self-absorbed loser who inspired fear and distrust. And, when he died, no one was sorry. On the contrary, you get the feeling that […] The post “No one was sorry when he died” appeared first on PMP Certification Exam Prep & Training - Velociteach.

Here comes another question – how can we better learn from the experience we get? Eric Ries, already mentioned above, uses an efficient way to tackle problems. I am talking about root-cause analysis or “five whys.” Imagine that the problem you’ve faced has the same structure as a Russian doll.
