Addressing business challenges and goals starts with insightful ideas. But even when an organization has lots of ideas, these are sometimes based upon prior assumptions/conditions that may now be invalid. So, it’s valuable to have a process for generating/assessing ideas that meet the criteria of being: relevant, current, promising , and actionable , along with a way to cull the list and prioritize ideas for action.

Creating innovative products in complex industries such as healthcare presents unique challenges. For instance the definition of a minimum viable product in such a context is different: you cannot provide a healthcare coverage that works only sometimes, you need to partner with existing players and work with their legacy systems, you need to deeply understand and work within complex regulations, and so forth.

December 6th’s Wall Street Journal called out that some of the Valley’s largest firms have delayed reporting metrics on engineering diversity. Clearly, this was because these firms were unexcited about the results, not because they had problems gathering data. Companies, like people, would rather not share unflattering results. I’ve been wrestling with a similar problem over the last few months.

While there are many factors that can shape the view of knowledge management within an organization, those who have come to truly understand its value are reaping the rewards.

After a few seconds of silence, Julie moves on to the next topic assuming that the stakeholders agree. But most people are still thinking about the idea or oppose it.
