Embracing Consciousness Beyond Technology 🌱 In a world increasingly driven by technology, I invite you all to pause and rethink our relationship with nature, consciousness, and innovation. This thought-provoking piece challenges the way we view progress, urging us to explore not just what we can create, but how we engage with the sentient world around us. From the role of technology in our future to the untapped potential of consciousness studies, this article offers a refreshing perspective on how we can evolve and innovate in harmony with the Earth. Nature’s intelligence exceeds human intelligence. Research documents numerous examples of nature restoring and refreshing itself far beyond what we can achieve with our technologies. Knowing this—that human intelligence is embedded in a wider matrix of intelligence—this article invites us to “untwist” our twisted perception of nature as merely a collection of insentient objects for us to exploit. 🌿 Ready for a reality check? Dive in and explore how "Looking-Glass Science" could reshape the future of research and business.

I recently came across a post from Sarah Elliott Spencer on the power of "thinking like a forest." 🌲🧠 This type of regenerative thinking requires bold and courageous leadership, collaborative networks, positive team culture and well-being, and healthy organizational growth and resilience. We can learn so much about success from the world around us.

Just wrapped up an awesome chat on the UNCAGED podcast with Bant Breen! I'm always happy to talk about the world of process consulting and Luminspino my company focused on optimising operations and helping businesses unlock their best processes. We even took a trip down memory lane to some of my earliest jobs and the wild start to my career. Grateful for the opportunity to share my story and insights - tune in if you’re curious about what actually goes on behind the scenes in consulting!🎙️ Link: https://lnkd.in/dGCw7y_j #UNCAGEDPodcast #Luminspino #ProcessConsulting #CareerJourney #Leadership

Today is Women’s Entrepreneurship Day - a moment to celebrate the courage, creativity, and independence that women bring to the world of entrepreneurship. But why exactly is entrepreneurship especially empowering for women? Well, it allows us to assert our autonomy, unleash our creativity, and express our authentic selves. It’s about making bold decisions, building new networks, and creating something unique in our own way. When I became an entrepreneur over three and a half years ago, a friend told me, “Your approach and attitude are different now, you are a player in the field, not anymore a spectator.” That sentence stuck with me - it captured the essence of entrepreneurship: fully immersing yourself, having 100% skin in the game. It’s a journey that’s both deeply personal and constantly evolving. Entrepreneurship is not just a career path; it’s a way of life. Like nature, it thrives on adaptability, change, and the courage to pursue new possibilities. #Entrepreneurship #WomensEntrepreneurshipDay #Courage

⚡ Incompatible Innovation: Undesirable vs. Infeasible ⚡ Dual Innovation (see https://lnkd.in/eftjcS3f) distinguishes between two generic types of innovation that are relevant to an established company: 👉 Exploit-oriented innovation that boosts the existing core business and is compatible with its underlying business or operating models. 👉 Explore-oriented (or exploratory) innovation that stretches beyond the present core business and is (largely) incompatible with its underlying business or operating models - at least at the outset. So what does "incompatible" actually mean in practical terms? It means that an innovation can either be undesirable (yet feasible), infeasible (yet desirable) or both for a company's core business. Let's take a look at each of the three cases: ⛔ Undesirable (yet feasible): Initially unattractive, yet potentially rewarding or disruptive niche business, incompatible with existing profit, margin or growth expectations (business model). 📷 Example: Kodak invented digital photography in the 1970s but considered it undesirable because it threatened its core film business, which was highly profitable. It delayed investing in digital innovation, and competitors like Canon and Sony took the lead in the market, eventually leading to Kodak’s decline. ⛔ Infeasible (yet desirable): Conflicting to exiiting identity and the way „business is used to be done“, incompatible with existing structures and processes (operating model). 🎥 Example: Streaming services introduced a desirable innovation for consumers by offering online, on-demand video content. Blockbuster recognized the shift in consumer behavior but struggled to adapt and was eventually outcompeted by Netflix. ⛔ Undesirable and infeasible: Combination of the former two cases. 📱 Example: In the early 2000s, Nokia dominated the mobile phone market but dismissed the shift toward smartphones with touchscreen interfaces. Nokia’s failure to embrace the smartphone revolution, compounded by the dominance of Apple and Android ecosystems, led to its rapid decline. Bottom line: A critical question for companies - for the sake of their furure - is how they can properly deal with incompatible innovation? One thing seems clear: they are extremely difficult to drive forward in a core business environment and require dedicate fit-for-purpose environments and approaches (one of which being Dual Innovation) to pursue them seriously, effectively but also efficiently in a corporate setting. 🎯 How should companies go about incompatible innovation in your view?
