In an age where the time between disruptions is getting shorter and the exponential growth of technology threatens the upheaval of almost every industry, certainty is fast becoming a distant memory. Yet, when it comes to deciding which projects to invest in at most large organisations, we often rely on projections and estimates based on assumptions about the same uncertain future. Think of this as the Innovator’s Funding Dilemma, encapsulated by these five common pitfalls of funding corporate innovation projects. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday, I talk the 5 funding traps of corporate innovation projects. Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Like us?

Ahoy there entrepreneurs and corporate innovators! After my recent appearance on the Razor Sharp Show with Ray Milidoni, I was invited back for a deep dive interview with Matt Romania, to talk all about a topic of personal disruption, something I touched on when chatting with Ray. In this age of technological upheaval and business model disruption, the need to be more adaptable and duck and weave in response to, or even better, in anticipation of, change, is becoming more and more important. We touch on the what, why, and how of personal disruption and reinvention in this podcast as well as what disrupting yourself feels like and some of the common challenges you will no doubt encounter if straying from a common pathway. Also, we discuss trapezing!   Show Notes: -Steve’s article -Buffer -Follower Wonk   Podcasts: School of Greatness The Tim Ferriss Show Entrepreneur on Fire Gary Vaynerchuk   Books: The Four Hour Work Week: https://amzn.to/2OIBFNd The Startup Owner’s Manual: https://amzn.to/2DhqUQT The Innovator’s Dilemma: https://amzn.to/2PVKu6N Pitch Anything: https://amzn.to/2xrkMQC Hooked – How to Build Habit-Forming Products: https://amzn.to/2O2HDeM Mindset – The New Psychology of Success: https://amzn.to/2NXzIQ0 The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: https://amzn.to/2MKzbwd   --- I hope you enjoyed this episode.

In this episode of Fast Fix Friday I talk hackathons, and how, while they are a great tool for bringing teams together to move quickly to build prototypes, are often done in a way that doesn't focus on problem solution fit, unique value proposition or business model. Essentially, most hackathons fall into the all to common trap of building what excites the team building it, but not the market. This is the main reason why 96% of startups and new ventures fail. I talk through what you and/or your organisation need to think about in order to run a successful hackathon that can deliver genuine outcomes and galvanise an organisation around its innovation efforts. ‍ Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack Hosted on Acast.

Many might remember the story of Eric Moussambani, the ‘Olympic swimmer’ from Equatorial Guinea who took 1:52.72 to complete his 100m swim at Sydney 2000, more than twice that of his nearest competitor. Before the Olympics, he had never even seen a 50m long pool, took up swimming eight months prior and practiced swimming in a lake. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday I talk return on optimisation, or ROO. Companies often get obsessed running A/B tests to optimise their marketing funnels, but, are they optimising the wrong thing? Optimising early, during problem and solution definition, generates a much higher return than optimising late, particularly if you've defined the problem incorrectly. Many of us are not all that different to Eric and I'll explain why. --- Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack   Hosted on Acast.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future ---- I was recently asked to partake in a discussion with a newly formed innovation team at an ASX20 company. What started out as an informal discussion quickly had me on my feet, white-boarding away and firing on all cognitive cylinders as I talked, or drew my way, through the different things large bureaucratic organisations need to consider when it comes to the big hairy audacious mission of creating an environment that truly supports disruptive innovation. After babbling on for a little while, it was question time and one question in particular prompted me to write this post - “if you come back here in a year how will you determine whether or not we’ve been successful?” So in this episode of Fast Fix Friday, I bring you success metrics for corporate innovation programs and teams.
