Your team is ready to take the leap, but the path ahead is unclear and unstructured. Will this great idea flourish or flounder in your current organization? Is there transparency across collaborative departments to move the idea through the pipeline efficiently? The answer lies in the delicate balance of risk and reward and a structured strategy to make that determination.   “Maybe” is the cost of uncertainty—the price paid for daring to disrupt the industry. But how do you manage this risk? [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][qodef_separator position="center" color="#f2f2f2" border_style="solid" width="100%" thickness="2"][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] Innovation Management to Navigate Risk  [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Use Innovation Management strategies against the paralysis of uncertainty.

Increase Organizational Resilience and Innovation Through Collaboration

by Dave Jones

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It's times of stress that really test the strength or weakness of an organization. During stressful times, leaders learn what the people in their organizations are made of – but also whether the systems, functions, and processes they have put in place are resilient to withstand the crises that inevitably come up. Industry shifts, market downturns, unexpected competitors: when stress comes, it shouldn't make an organization or process fall to pieces. Instead, stressful times should be when positive discourse, growth, and resiliency thrive.[1] "What do you do when you face a surprise?" David Woods, Faculty Emeritus of Integrated Systems Engineering at The Ohio State University, asked at the 2014 Velocity NY conference; referring to unexpected situations like when chunks of foam fell off the Space Shuttle Columbia's fuel tank in an unexpected way. "Do you gracefully extend performance, stretch your capabilities, and add adaptive capacity in order to continue to perform...

Making Plastic Bottles from Sugarcane and Captured CO₂

by Dave Jones
in Innovation, Innovation Challenge, Innovation Software, Innovation Solutions, Technology Scouting

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A new study from the labs of Durham University's Dr. Andrew Smallbone lays out a pathway to making plastic bottles from organic waste material and CO2 captured from power plants. A thorough analysis of the economics shows this process could even be cost competitive for making things like plastic bottles. The process could start with something like the leftover plant material from sugarcane pressing. After a few reaction steps, which include the addition of some captured CO2 and some ethylene glycol produced from corn plants, you'd end up with a plastic polymer called polyethylene furandicarboxylate—otherwise known as PEF. Functionally, it's similar to the PET plastic used for water and soda bottles, denoted by the number 1 recycling symbol. Every step in the process has been at least demonstrated before, and some are quite common, so the paper doesn't spend much space on the chemistry. Instead, the researchers engage in life cycle analysis...
