Every day we’re tasked with making decisions. Most of the time, these decisions are small (like deciding whether or not to floss today). However, small things done consistently poorly versus consistently well over the long-term can have a devastating impact on where you end up, whether in business or in life. It’s kind of like the power of compound interest. I’m no dentist but it’s pretty common k...

Collective Campus in its third year now and in that time I’m proud to say that, unlike other consultancies and education providers that have come (and gone already in many cases), we didn’t start out with fundraising as a key priority. It still isn’t. We started by focusing on finding our value proposition and delivering on it in a cashflow positive way. Over the course of the first 18 months we b...

On this podcast I’ve been fortunate enough to speak to a lot of thought leaders, and what becomes clear, after having spoken to almost 100 of them so far, is that no matter how educated, experienced or accomplished they are, oftentimes, they hold contradictory views. And these views are often colored by the circles they run in, their associates, the information they consume and so on. We all make...

As more large companies begin to embark upon audacious transformation plans and set up innovation teams, more corporate professionals are being introduced to a world in which terms like design thinking, lean, agile, pivot, experiment, fail, adapt and so on are used almost interchangeably.

More often than not, senior management and the C-suite assume that exploring disruptive innovation is incredibly risky, and it is. It’s often a key bugbear to getting senior management  buy-in for corporate innovation  initiatives. However, that high risk doesn’t necessarily need to translate to high cost, especially not in the  early stages of the innovation lifecycle  (below)...

The world is changing faster than ever and up to 60% of today’s jobs are likely to be automated in the next 10-15 years, yet most of what children learn in school is still geared towards traditional roles, and still forces them to become adept at reading, remembering and regurgitating as opposed to more transferable and relevant skills such as resilience, embracing and thriving in ambiguity, criti...

Winning buy-in from senior and middle management for corporate innovation initiatives is one of the biggest challenges intrapreneurs face. Oftentimes, intrapreneurs resort to presentations and meetings with executives in an effort to convince them why they should explore new initiatives. Sometimes this works. Most times it doesn’t. Such pursuits fall flat because the recipients have an inherent la...
