Digg it UP - Innovation Management - what are the practical impediments?
Most companies fail in their network marketing businesses because of their lack of effective delegation. Delegation is not just telling your employee to answer a call or to fill out some paperwork for you. Delegation does not mean that you give an employee an easy task; rather, it is about assigning challeng

You may be one of the many new or existing business owners who are running your business as a solopreneur. Are you finding it difficult to keep up with your many daily tasks and business demands? This is a problem that befalls most business owners whether you are a solopreneur or a small business owner oper
There are distinct processes that enhance problem identification and idea generation and, similarly, distinct processes that enhance idea selection, development and commercialisation. Whilst there is no sure fire route to commercial success, these processes improve the probability that good ideas will be generated and selected and that investment in developing and commercialising those ideas will not be wasted.
One of the useful methods of valuing ideas is to analyse the practical impediments that may impede an ideas progress to commercial success.
One of the useful models is Utterback’s (1994) S-curve, which describes how the performance and cost characteristics of a technology change with time and continued investments.
The performance of the established technology improves over time, at first rapidly, and then more slowly until maturity as years of improvement exhaust opportunities to better cost and performance (e.g. Windows in 2005, MS Office).
When the new technology first arrives (e.g. Linux, OpenOffice) it is crude compared to the existing, with many issues still unresolved. At this point it may be written off.

Many people are wondering how they can know if they truly need a business coach and if they need that business coach now, rather than later. People want assurance and confirmation that they first need a business coach and second that they need the business coach now, not later. With that in mind, I tried to

During a period of uncertain economic times, mergers, acquisitions, re-structuring, increased influence of technology, increased foreign competition or any number of other market and consumer shifts, attitudes, trends and expectations, it is vital that management be aware of the impact of their management st

Branding has always evolved from the simple to the complex, just like everything else. Evolution begets progress. Now in this Information Revolution the battle of branding is always as they put it – innovating itself and stiff competition is the name of the game. For those who don’t know what "Branding" is,

Your business brand says a lot about you and your business. If you create a strong brand image, it will elevate you above your peers and provide a good model for your product and service development as well as a sound foundation from which to expand your business. So what is Branding?
These problems are gradually resolved over time and ultimately the innovation is able to compete with the cost performance characteristics of other players. Then it is picked up by lead users who value it highly, and goes on to win market share through a variety of mechanisms.
By plotting an idea against the S-curve, it is possible to gauge how long before an idea is able to engage with rivals. Major barriers also include cultural and emotional objections. For example, condoms have a low take-up rate in Africa, despite the prevalence of Aids, because of cultural taboos.
