By Martin Recke We live in a time of accelerating innovation, don't we? So why is it that economists can't measure it? Quite the opposite – productivity growth has been slow for decades. Globalisation and the coronavirus crisis By Martin Recke How a virus might change globalisation profoundly. Remote work will get a huge boost from the current crisis. Systems and systemic challenges By Martin Recke Systems theory allows us to view digital products, or climate change, from a higher altitude. The difference of system and environment is crucial. Complexity and exponential change By Martin Recke Complexity breeds uncertainty and exponential change. To deal with it, we need the interplay of individuals and collectives. Building a politics fit for innovation By Adam Tinworth If you believe in innovation as a cycle rather than as an event, it profoundly changes how you can plan for it. And getting that right might define which parts of the world prosper in the coming decades. Different types of innovation By Martin Recke There are different types of innovation, depending on the product lifecycle. But Apple remains the exception that proves the rule. The digital revolution that’s coming from Africa By Adam Tinworth Different cultures, different demographics - and a different infrastructure base mean that Afirca could be the next great powerhouse of digital innovation.

Why scientism will destroy your company’s ability to innovate By Adam Tinworth Our ability to quantify and measure nearly everything has grown exponentially. But that doesn't mean that the scientific methods is the best way to run product teams. The game of efficiency is over By Martin Recke Don't worry about efficiency. Or maybe worry later.

The Two Faces of Corporate Innovation By Adam Tinworth Digital innovation is a corporate virtue of the 21st century, and all businesses are innovative all the time - if you believe their PR. So why is so little actually changing? The parallel universes of innovation By Martin Recke How do you continuously improve existing products while simultaneously developing new ideas with transformational potential? How can parallel innovation structures go beyond pure efficiency? Innovation is fragmented, not monolithic. The next change will surprise us. By Adam Tinworth The world wasn't watching as the web was born. Many people laughed at the iPhone, a product from a company not long off life-support. True innovation happens in fragmented worlds away from the mainstream. Business resilience – and the attack of the snails By Adam Tinworth Technology change is inevitable and unavoidable - but it's often surprisingly predictable. If you can't adapt to survive it, you deserve to face your own twilight of the gods… Innovation’s price is Future Shock — and we’re paying it now By Adam Tinworth Here’s my heretical question: is innovation always good? What is innovation? By Martin Recke Innovation is about introducing products that are better than what's already there. What's better and what's not is determined by the user. Forget Big Bang innovation; it’s all built on islands of invention By Adam Tinworth We’re looking for interesting innovation in the wrong places. Single, big, transformative innovations are so rare as to be worth ignoring. The interesting stuff happens at smaller scales. Losing touch with reality By Martin Recke As reality is more and more shaped through digital products, we see more degrees of freedom than in the analogue past. Fake news, filter bubbles, and alternative facts are only the tip of the iceberg. How to be disruptive and sustainable at the same time By Martin Recke Disruption sounds exiting, while sustainability is boring, right? Bear with me.

Samuel West has some ideas - and they might change how you think about innovation.
