This is the definition of presence, and it is only when we operate in the present that real creativity, growth and innovation occur. Operating in excess of that threshold will cause increased stress, lack of attention to detail and errant decisioning. Is your rubber-band stretched so tight that it’s about to snap?

And finally, business model innovation is getting the recognition it deserves. That’s why I was thrilled when my friend and one of business model innovation’s gurus, Saul Kaplan , wrote a must read book sharing his real world experiences - The Business Model Innovation Factory. For many, this is frightening.

If you cannot turn an idea into innovation, if you can’t put thought into practice, it’s not a game changer. By definition game changers happen, they exist, they have life. By definition, a game changer causes change. Focus on value creation. If you forget the people, you cannot have a game changer.

Don’t utilize your competitions practices, but rather innovate around them and improve upon them to create an advantage that can be leveraged in the market. By definition 'best practice' is something codified by someone else. Therefor by definition it is not unique or likely to generate any competitive advantage.

If change and innovation weren’t key contributors to sustainable success, and the enterprise could just run on auto-pilot, you could replace the CEO with a General Manager.
