Why Your Best Idea is Stuck
<p>Something you believe in is stuck. You can probably picture it without trying. Six, twelve, eighteen months in and still “almost there.” The room nods and nothing moves after. The champion’s gone quiet. You ask what went wrong and you get a shrug and four theories, none of which tell you what to do differently.</p><p>This week on IOL, we're releasing the latest version of Innovation Coach to help you get unstuck. But you have to dig deep for it to work.</p><p>Try it here: <a target="_blank" href="https://coach-brain-merge.d3e55bqf5i5cve.amplifyapp.com/">Innovation Coach 2.0</a></p><p>If you want to know when V3 arrives, comment “Let me know” and I’ll add you to the list!</p><p><strong>From the book</strong></p><p>* <strong>B2Me Journey</strong> — behavior change as a journey, steps not leaps; emotion before cognition. The updated tool respects the journey instead of skipping it.</p><p>* <strong>Do The Work</strong> — the knowing–doing gap. The deeper read is where knowing turns into doing.</p><p>* <strong>Minimize Uncertainty</strong> (a Trust Lever) — concrete next steps cut ambiguity and move you along the journey, instead of leaving you with a verdict and no path.</p><p>* <strong>Developing in the Open</strong> — the VS Code posture. We show you the tool and what we changed about it, not just describe it.</p><p>Developed in the open, with AI as a thinking and drafting partner. The thoughts and final words are mine. Say it ugly, Build it better. Onward!</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Innovating Out Loud with Jayshree Seth
<p>Three days short of 33 years at 3M, Jayshree Seth now leads the effort to put generative AI use-cases to work in R&D — which puts her between the hype and the people who have to live with it. Her message is bracing and oddly reassuring at once: AI can accelerate every step of the climb from data to wisdom, but it can't make the climb for you. Skip the human work and you don't reach the answer faster — you arrive at a confident-sounding one you can't defend. What she handed us was a working toolkit for doing it right, folded into four frameworks and one phrase we won't forget: Trace, Fast, Arcs, Flow.</p><p>JoAnn and Taryn spoke with Jayshree on the May 28th episode of IOL. Here are a few key takeaways.</p><p><strong>Five takeaways</strong></p><p>1. AI can accelerate the climb from data to wisdom. It can’t make the climb for you.</p><p>2. AI flips the pyramid — and DIKW becomes WIKD.</p><p>3. It’s not artificial intelligence. It’s "artificial diligence."</p><p>4. AI narrows the access gap and widens the judgment gap.</p><p>5. AI doesn’t just change jobs — it changes the jobs to be done.</p><p><strong>Closing</strong></p><p>The technology is ready. The organization usually isn’t — and that gap is human. Jayshree’s whole toolkit points at the same quiet truth: AI is most useful to the people who’d still know what to do without it. Watch the full conversation for all four frameworks, the books behind them, and why she thinks the unlikely candidates are the ones true innovation needs.</p><p>Check out Jayshree’s books, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/Jayshree-Seth-Ph.D/author/B09V3G2MZY/allbooks?ccs_id=1937c6e7-08e5-488f-b2e2-c95b1ddaf76a">The Heart of Science Series:</a> Engineering Blueprint (2024); Engineering Fine Print (2022); Engineering Footprints, Fingerprints, & Imprints (2020). <strong>All sales proceeds go towards a scholarship for women in STEM administered by Society of Women Engineers (SWE).</strong></p><p>Our next session of Innovating Out Loud is on June 25th at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET with special guest, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/larryrobertson3rd/">Larry Robertson</a>.

They Cheered the Water
<p>It’s a warm evening in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, and you’ve brought a glass of wine out to the back deck the way you have for years. The grass, the fence, the slow blue dark coming down. And underneath all of it, something new. A hum. The kind you feel in your chest. A low, constant drone, loud enough to carry over a television and conversations around the fire pit. Some nights you give up on the backyard altogether. You’re considering moving. Three miles away, a 315-acre campus is running 24/7. The hum is the sound of it exhaling.</p><p>Your backyard is where this story really starts, but not how it was told this week at Microsoft Build.</p><p>Read or listen to the full piece here and on <a target="_blank" href="http://innovatingoutloud.substack.com">innovatingoutloud.substack.com</a></p><p><strong>Connections to</strong><strong> The Insider's Guide to Innovation at Microsoft:</strong></p><p><strong>Pattern #4: Innovating More Than Technology</strong> — The piece's spine: "not a technology challenge, a business model challenge." Every component already exists — heat exchangers since the early 1900s, quieter-fan designs sitting on the shelf. The book makes the same move, that the decisive innovation is rarely the device but the business model and value chain around it.</p><p><strong>Pattern #3: Innovating With Everyone</strong> — "Build with the place, not around it." Bring community and nature to the table before the design sets. The DOTF team's own precedent in the book — 200 conversations inside and outside before a single concept was drawn — is the proof that the early, optional conversation is the one that changes the outcome.</p><p><strong>Aim for Positive (#15) / Regenerative Design (#51)</strong> — Closing the loop to send a stream of value back into the place instead of throwing waste heat over the fence: surplus by design, not harm reduction. The book quotes Satya asking whether, at the core of the business model, "are you creating a surplus around you?" This piece asks him to finish the question.</p><p><strong>Top-down, Bottom-up, Outside-in (#16)</strong> — All three are in the room and none are wired together: top-down names what to protect (electricity, jobs, tax base); bottom-up is the engineers who already want to build the heat loop; outside-in is the backyard no one invited. The book's argument is that durable change needs the three connected — which is exactly what "external pressure creates internal permission" names: the outside-in voice unlocking what the bottom-up already wants to build.</p><p>This piece was developed in the open, with AI as a thinking and drafting partner. The argument, the judgment, and the final words are mine. Say it Ugly, Build it Better! Onward!</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
