Future Squared with Steve GlaveskiEpisode #260: Increase Your Risk ToleranceIn poker, your bankroll represents how much money you’ve set aside exclusively to play. Former World Series of Poker champion, author and decision strategist Annie Duke says that you should always play withinyour bankroll. If you have $2,000 in your pocket but have bills and outgoings totalling $1,500 then you don’t have $2,000 to play with, you have $500, and you should not play beyond that. By playing within your bankroll you’re less likely to fall victim to the sunk cost bias - our tendency to chase our losses - or to bet more than you can aff...

However, over time, they get blunted and require a higher frequency or intensity of exposure to that thing that got us buzzing in the first place. So many entrepreneurs get excited when they start something but their investment and energy tapers off once that initial buzz wears off. With that in mind, How might you maintain the enthusiasm and energy required to maintain your investment and effort in X? In this episode of Fast...

The manual remained classified for decades, becoming declassified in 2008. The purpose of the manual was to present suggestions for inciting and executing sabotage. The manual is full of 1940s references such as ‘axis nationals’, the latter no doubt falling victim to many of the manual’s methods. The manual breaks methods down into a number of categories such as Buildings, Manufacturing and Organisations. For example, on Buildings it states: whenever possible, arrange to have a fire start...

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). In fact, the cost of notexploring disruptive innovation can be much higher with countless companies having paid the ultimate price in recent years for neglecting it.

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.

When it comes to corporate innovation, it’s easy to focus on metrics such as ideas captured by an idea challenge, the number of prototypes developed or experiments run. But with most corporate innovation initiatives quickly degenerating into theatre, failure rates are running high (eg. 80-90% of innovation labs fail). Such failures ultimately lead to senior stakeholders withdrawing their support while intrapreneurs become increasingly dissatisfied and leave the organisation to seek out greener, more innovative pastures elsewhere.

We are prone to over 100 cognitive biases that may subconsciously shape our perceptions, beliefs and decisions. As one might imagination, innovation and entrepreneurship is not immune from said biases. Becoming aware of them is step one to designing workarounds so that your company is not over-investing in the wrong idea or under-investing in the right one. In this episode I unpack just three of the 36 cognitive biases I've identified that...

Regular listeners will know that I’m a prolific blogger, if I can use that term, of sorts, having published over 200 blogs in the past couple of years. Some perform really well, others not as well - and that’s just the nature of creative pursuits. And more recently, I noticed an influx of people post long-form, often narcissistic status updates on lInkedin following a predictable formula, separating each line by an entire line spacing and often running about 30 lines long.

And when they do, it’s not for long. This is because traditional financial metrics such as NPV, IRR and RoNA are used as measures of success. In addition, the allocation of capital for new ideas hinges on business cases that ask us to forecast indicators such as the target market, the market size, the payback period and aforementioned financial metrics - all factors that can’t be reliably predicted when it comes to disruptive innovation which is inherently uncertain and chaotic. In the odd c...

While we can sometimes get away with online testing, we often have to face up to the much more socially confronting task of interrupting strangers simply going on about thei...

Failing that, take innovation outside of the building by spinning out a company with its own processes, systems and values.
