A new article on Mckinsey Quarterly outlines the top 10 innovation trends in business that are being enabled by new technologies — and shows how they trends are re-shaping the challenges and opportunities for companies, society and their ability to reach sustainability goals.
These trends are significant for our innovation work at Volans, partly because they reflect a growing way of thinking about the pathways to scale of business solutions to social and environmental problems (e.g. think about telcom operators in Africa providing banking solutions to the poor instead of banks).
But also because they say something about the way we work, as we find ourselves increasingly designing and delivering projects by working collaboratively with others — something I find fascinating in terms of management, as the project teams look more like distributed networks and ecosystems than traditional, hierarchical institutions.
