02FIELD NOTES
FIELD NOTE 09 / METHOD INDEPENDENCE

The workshops keep producing ideas your business cannot use

Changing the coach does not test the tool. Whether a discovery method can return anything new depends on facts about your organization, not on how well it is run.

FIELD NOTE 08 / AI VALUE REALIZATION

FIELD NOTE 03 / PROCESS TRANSFORMATION

When your stage-gate process becomes the constraint

Stage-gate brought discipline to product development. In faster markets the same structure filters out the work that matters most — and nothing in it measures the delay it introduces.

FIELD NOTE 02 / INNOVATION CAPABILITY

You cannot hire your way to innovation capability

Searching for rare innovative talent is slower and less reliable than building the capability — and it usually returns you to the same position with a larger salary bill.

FIELD NOTE 01 / INNOVATION ROI

Why innovation ROI stops short of the P&L

Innovation budgets rise while results stay flat. The cause is usually the measurement system, not the team — and it is a question only a CEO can reopen.
