Your best innovation ideas aren't losing to bad ideas – they're losing to exhaustion. I know that sounds counterintuitive. After 30 years of making billion-dollar innovation decisions at HP and CableLabs, I thought I understood why good ideas failed. Market timing. Technical challenges. Resource constraints. Sometimes that was the case … but most of the time, I was wrong. We've created an innovation economy that's too innovative to innovate. And if you're wondering why your breakthrough ideas keep getting ignored, dismissed, or tabled "for later review," this video will show you the real reason. I'm going to reveal why even brilliant ideas are dying from attention scarcity, not their merit. And why this crisis will determine which companies dominate the next decade. Monday, I shared the complete story in my Studio Notes newsletter about how I first discovered this crisis at HP. For a comprehensive analysis and its implications for your company, please visit the link below.  In this episode, I will share with you a practical framework for recognizing and addressing this problem within your organization. The Innovation Overload Problem Let's start with the math that's breaking everyone's brain. Every C-suite leader I know is evaluating 40+ innovation proposals monthly. That's what they tell me when I ask why good ideas are getting ignored—two per business day, every day, without break. However, what's happening psychologically is that decision-makers are developing reflexive skepticism toward all innovation claims as a survival mechanism. It's not cynicism – it's cognitive self-defense against proposal overload. In conversations with dozens of executives over the past year, nearly three-quarters tell me "innovation fatigue" has become their top decision challenge. Think about that. The problem isn't a lack of innovation. The problem is too much innovation. Good ideas are dying not from merit evaluation but from attention competition. We've created an innovation economy where the sheer volume of innovation prevents genuine innovation from emerging. And here's the irony – I'm using the same overloaded language that's part of the problem. When every idea is described as "revolutionary", the words lose all meaning. Last month alone, I was pitched 23 "revolutionary" AI solutions. Most were solid ideas with real potential. But none got the attention they deserved because my brain had already tagged them as "more innovation noise" before I could properly evaluate their merit. And that's when it hit me: if someone whose job is literally to analyze innovation decisions can't focus properly, what chance do overwhelmed executives have? The cruel mathematics are simple: breakthrough ideas need deep consideration, but executives only have bandwidth for surface-level evaluation. Let me show you exactly how this plays out in the real world. Case Study: HP's Innovation Program Office I first discovered this crisis when I was running HP's Innovation Program Office – what we called the IPO. The IPO was HP's dedicated engine for identifying, incubating, and launching breakthrough technologies that would become the company's future growth drivers. We had frameworks, funding, and brilliant people. Harvard and Stanford now teach case studies about the HP IPO and our process design. But here's what those case studies miss entirely: we were drowning. The HP Innovation Program Office received more than 3,000 ideas and pitches every year.  Think about that number. That's nearly 60 new innovation opportunities hitting our desk every week. Each claiming to be a breakthrough. Each demanding evaluation. Each potentially containing the next billion-dollar opportunity for HP. No team – no matter how smart, no matter how well-resourced – can properly evaluate 3,000 innovation ideas annually. The mathematics are impossible. Fatigue became our constant battle. We would clear 50 proposals in one week, only to find 65 new ones waiting the next. It felt like trying to empty an ocean with a bucket. We built sophisticated tools. We created evaluation frameworks. We hired brilliant people and trained them extensively. But underneath all our sophisticated processes was a gnawing feeling that haunted every decision: somewhere in those 3,000 ideas were genuine breakthroughs that we weren't giving proper attention. I remember one particularly brutal month when we evaluated around 250 innovation pitches. By week three, I caught myself skimming proposals that deserved hours of consideration. By week four, I was unconsciously looking for reasons to say no rather than reasons to say yes. That's when I realized the system had broken me. And if it could break someone whose job was literally to find breakthrough innovation, it was breaking everyone. The most painful part? Years later, I would occasionally encounter innovations in the market that looked suspiciously familiar. Ideas that had been buried in our pipeline, dismissed not because they lacked merit, but because they arrived during a week when we were too overwhelmed to give them the attention they deserved. We had built the most sophisticated innovation evaluation process in corporate America, and it was systematically filtering out the very breakthroughs it was designed to find. Not because our frameworks were wrong, but because human attention has limits that no framework can overcome. That HP experience taught me to recognize the pattern. Since then, I've worked with dozens of companies facing the same crisis. The scale varies – some see 500 pitches annually, others see 5,000 – but the attention mathematics always break the same way. The Three Types of Innovation Fatigue Through analyzing failures across multiple companies, I've identified three distinct types of innovation fatigue destroying breakthrough potential. Type 1: Executive Innovation Fatigue The symptom: Senior leaders developing reflexive skepticism toward ALL innovation pitches, regardless of merit. Here's what's happening: The overpromise/underdeliver cycle has trained executives to expect disappointment from innovation investments. After being burned by "revolutionary" solutions that delivered incremental improvements, leaders develop cognitive firewalls against innovation enthusiasm. I recently spoke with a Fortune 500 CEO who instituted a company-wide moratorium: "No more innovation pitch meetings for six months. We're drowning in breakthrough promises and starving for actual execution." This wasn't anti-innovation leadership. This was a smart executive recognizing that innovation overload was preventing innovation success. The impact: Even legitimate breakthroughs get dismissed as "more innovation theater" before receiving proper evaluation. Type 2: Team Innovation Fatigue The symptom: Innovation teams are burning out from launching initiatives that consistently get killed or ignored during the evaluation process. The cause: Organizations creating continuous innovation pressure without building the decision infrastructure to evaluate and support breakthrough ideas properly. At HP's IPO, I watched our most creative evaluators essentially stop fighting for breakthrough ideas. When I asked why, one told me: "When you're processing 60 pitches a week, you learn to spot the safe bets quickly. Fighting for the truly revolutionary ones takes energy I don't have anymore." This is innovation death by a thousand small compromises. The impact: The best innovators leave for companies with more explicit innovation mandates and better decision-making processes. Type 3: Market Innovation Fatigue The symptom: Customers and investors becoming increasingly skeptical of innovation claims, treating all "breakthrough" announcements with equal skepticism. The cause: "Revolutionary" has lost all meaning through overuse. Every product launch, every startup pitch, every feature update is positioned as game-changing innovation. Consider how "AI-powered" became the new "cloud-enabled" – meaningless marketing speak that signals nothing about actual innovation value. When everything is revolutionary, nothing is revolutionary. The impact: Actual breakthroughs struggle to differentiate from incremental improvements because the market has developed immunity to innovation language. Why This Crisis Is Unprecedented This isn't just another innovation challenge we can solve with better processes or more resources. This crisis is fundamentally different from anything we've faced before. Historically, innovation slowdowns were resource problems. Companies couldn't innovate because they lacked money, talent, or technology. The solution was always to invest more resources in innovation capability. Today's crisis is a problem of attention and focus scarcity in an abundance economy. We have unlimited innovation opportunities and limited cognitive bandwidth to evaluate them properly. More resources won't solve the attention mathematics. Consider this trend: innovation proposals are growing exponentially, but human decision-making bandwidth remains constant. The danger: We're not innovation-starved – we're innovation-overwhelmed. Breakthrough opportunities are getting lost in the noise of marginal improvements. However, here's the opportunity: The companies that figure out attention allocation will dominate the next decade, while everyone else struggles with their own innovation success. This isn't about having better ideas. It's about being heard above the innovation noise, and most organizations have no systematic approach to cutting through their own opportunity abundance. Practical Framework: The Attention Audit So what do you do about this? Let me share a practical framework I use with companies to diagnose and address innovation fatigue. Step 1: Count Your Innovation Inputs Track everything hitting your innovation pipeline for one month—ideas, pitches, proposals, "quick conversations" about breakthrough opportunities. You'll be shocked by the number. Step 2: Calculate Your Evaluation Capacity How many innovation decisions can your team properly evaluate monthly? Not skim – properly evaluate. Be brutally honest about the time quality evaluation requires. Step 3: Identify the Attention Gap Subtract your capacity from your inputs. That gap is where breakthrough ideas go to die. Step 4: Design Attention Triage Develop systematic methods to quickly identify the 10% of ideas that warrant in-depth evaluation. Not perfect – but systematic. Step 5: Build Decision Infrastructure Most companies have innovation processes but no decision infrastructure. These are different things. Remember: The goal isn't to evaluate everything. The goal is to evaluate the right things properly. Call-to-Action Here's what I want you to do right now: Look at your innovation pipeline. How many ideas are currently stalled not because they lack merit, but because nobody has the attention bandwidth to evaluate them properly? If you're honest, it's probably most of them. Innovation fatigue is just one of ten critical innovation decision challenges that nobody's addressing directly. Over the past month, I've identified the unspoken problems that determine whether billion-dollar innovation bets succeed or fail. Add your voice to choose which challenge I should cover in an upcoming episode. Should I reveal why smart teams kill their own best ideas? How fear corrupts innovation thinking?

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Bernardo Huberman, Ph.D., a research physicist, expert on quantum networks, and vice president of CableLabs' Next-Gen Systems. We discuss his journey into science, beginning in South America, how a curiosity about physics led him to the United States, and how his hunger for studying novel problems guided him into fields like physics, computer science, biology, economics, and, most recently, quantum computing. He explains relativity theory, chaos theory, fractals, and quantum internet in terms anyone can understand. We explore how curiosity has continually guided his decisions about what to study and how to live, and how researching hard, even abstract, problems can serve as a model for staying grounded and enjoying everyday life. We also discuss meditation, spirituality, and why continually asking questions about how the world is organized can bring about an immense and lasting sense of meaning and joy.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Paul Broadhurst, the President and CEO of the Technetix Group. We met in the mobile studio during SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in Denver, CO. Paul shared his excitement about the growing confidence and support in the cable broadband industry. He particularly emphasized the emergence of new vendors and sponsors at the event, a clear indication of the sector's growth trajectory. One of the main topics we touched upon was DOCSIS 4 and the crucial need for network upgrades. Paul voiced his concerns about a skills shortage in the industry and stressed the importance of upgrading networks to meet DOCSIS 4 requirements. We both concurred on the essential need for future-proof networks. Paul pointed out an interesting fact - the cable industry needs to employ around 400,000 individuals to finish the required work. He suggested that the focus should be on educating younger individuals to be proficient and effective in the industry. We also spoke about the shift from manual network maintenance to automated systems. Our conversation moved towards the potential of cable broadband and future trends. As someone who's always been curious about the future of technology, I found Paul's insights particularly compelling. He highlighted the importance of future-proofing networks and possibly upgrading cable networks to 100 Gigabit speeds using existing infrastructure. Looking ahead, Paul predicts that wireline broadband networks will mature and become more efficient over the next 15 years. He pointed out the possibilities of self-healing capabilities and reduced power consumption, which could be a game-changer for the industry. Paul envisions an industry with increased competition and innovation driven by new market entrants and federal investment in high-performance networks. We also had an intriguing discussion about the unique culture of the cable industry. We both appreciate its focus on collaboration, trust, and people. There's a friendly and collaborative environment where operators share ideas and meet regularly, with CableLabs playing a crucial role in fostering this culture. Towards the end of our conversation, Paul expressed his curiosity about the potential for the possibilities with medical monitoring and security. Reflecting on the interview, Paul's insights and vision for the industry's future showcase his dynamic thinking and leadership, making our conversation a valuable experience for the listener.  

In this episode of Killer Innovations, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ken Grelck, SVP of Sales at Calix, about the company's impressive transformation from a hardware-focused organization to a cloud and software-centric business. Ken shed light on how Calix concentrates on improving customer experience, regardless of the size of their network. Their dedication to customer experience is central to their shift toward software-defined networks. Ken and I explored how this transformation has impacted the cable industry, discussing Calix's decade-long journey and $1 billion investment in creating a platform that optimizes customer problem resolution. A significant shift in operator skill sets within the organization also marked this transformation. Michael Weaning, ex-Salesforce executive, joined Calix as President, playing an instrumental role in changing the company's customer engagement approach. Calix's Service Cloud and Ops Cloud solutions are reshaping customer service through invaluable data insights that help service reps and technicians, significantly reducing call times and boosting efficiency. These solutions are products of Calix's commitment to innovation. Our team at CableLabs collaborated with Calix on a co-innovation project, Adrenaline, which spearheaded hardware acceleration through an open-source approach. This project was a true testament to the power of remote collaboration and the impact of technology on hardware capabilities. Our conversation also touched on Calix's innovation strategies and culture. They cultivate innovation around market needs, gathering inputs from their 1800 customers via leadership advisory boards. Their approach embodies a broad-market focus, avoiding innovation targeted at specific customers. Ken provided insights into Calix's groundbreaking product, Smart Town, which arose from customer recommendations. Developed over 12-18 months, it addressed the digital divide exacerbated by the pandemic. Smart Town is a stellar example of innovation turning into a mission, intending to bridge the digital divide in rural and tribal areas in the U.S. We both believe that serving these communities should be about the greater good rather than just economic benefit. Our discussion moved onto the ethical aspects of innovation, particularly concerning AI and child safety. Ken and I agreed on protecting children from online threats, making AI monitoring tools increasingly vital. The conversation reflected on the challenges of protecting older children, the role of parents in this task, and the potential unintended consequences of innovation. Responding to my question, "What are you most curious about?" Ken spoke about his curiosity and concerns about the impact of AI. Our conversation underlined the importance of considering potential negative consequences while harnessing AI's potential. This episode underscored the complex intersection of innovation, transformation, and ethics in our ever-evolving tech landscape.

September 12, 1995, was a historic day for cable technology. It was then, during a CableLabs board meeting in New York, that a group of leaders heard from industry pioneer John Malone about the coming, critical importance of developing interoperable equipment for the delivery of high-speed data services over the cable network – a concept that later became DOCSIS.Among the 21 people in attendance that day was Dr. Richard Green, the first CEO of CableLabs. That meeting led to the development of DOCSIS, a "bedrock platform for manufacturers to build modems" and to do so at scale, Green recalls in this episode of the Light Reading Podcast.

Here is the last interview from my time at the Cable Tec-Expo Show in Philadelphia. Collin Howlett, the CTO of Vecima, joins us to discuss the acceleration of innovation in the cable industry. Collin Howlett of Vecima on the Pace and Sources of Innovation Predicting the future grows more challenging as the pace of innovation accelerates. Customers are deploying innovations at faster speeds than ever. Most cable operators are now mobile operators, with their focus fixed on fiber. At CableLabs, we are showing coherent optics at 50,000 gigs over a single strand. While this mind-blowing capacity may not be needed now, it will no doubt be needed in the future. Hardware to Software With the pace of the broadband industry increasing, necessary transitions are occurring. As the network transitions from hardware to software, engineers must develop a different skill set. This is leading to a shortage of people who understand both software and hardware. Collin emphasized the importance of knowing where to put certain parts of the technology while understanding the software and hardware division. Some hardware has been out there for 30 years, and the companies that created it are now gone. Its valuable to build hardware that is generic and can be developed over time. It's vital to build software from a modular perspective. Many of the technologies deployed today will greatly affect our predecessors. We must think about the unintended consequences of our innovations. Collin believes organizations must think of their innovation's effects at least 10-15 years into the future. Innovation Culture Collin's team at Vecima likes to follow what's happening in other industries and identify what they can take from those industries and apply to their own. Due to the pace of innovation, concepts and prototypes need to be spun out a lot faster than in the past. Decisions need to be made quickly. Collin said it is also important not to get emotionally tied to what you are working on. Being able to quickly pivot to the next innovation is vital. Automation and AI Many brilliant engineers of our day are retiring, and the question becomes, "How do you capture that expertise?" Collin believes there is value in automating the development of technologies, and low-level work through machine learning and AI. While we can capture everything, this could be a way to help bridge the skills gap going forward. The bottom line is, if innovators are not applying machine learning today, they will be left behind. About our Guest: Collin Howlett Colin Howlett is the Chief Technology Officer, joining Vecima in 1997.

In this episode of The 5G Factor, a Futurum Tech Webcast series focused on news and happenings in the 5G and IoT ecosystem, I'm joined by my colleague and fellow analyst, Ron Westfall. Our conversation today covered: Elon Musk's Starlink turning on 5G, protesting (this time) DISH Network's proposal to use the 12 GHz radio spectrum for a 5G cellular network. AT&T, DISH Network, and CableLabs are among the top U.S. companies and organizations that have stepped forward to handle the O-RAN Alliance's activities in North America this year. Why that is and what that means. The news of NEC acquiring Aspire Technology was big, and we explored the significance there as we move toward a global adoption of Open RAN 5G. T-Mobile and Oceus have formed a strategic alliance to delivery key offerings to the U.S. Government, starting with the DoD. Why that alliance makes sense, and what they're focused on.

In this episode Brady Volpe of Nimble This and The Volpe Firm, and John Downey (of Cisco) discuss portions of the document "Understanding Cable Network RF Spectrum Displays". This document, created by CableLabs and SCTE Working Group 7 (WG7) is a masterpiece of understanding full band capture (FBC) and the impairments found with FBC. We have The post Full Band Capture Troubleshooting by Impairment Type appeared first on Volpe Firm.

Now that many cable operators around the globe are also wireless network operators in some form or fashion, CableLabs has embarked on several projects and initiatives focused on network and service convergence. Following the formation of two groups – The Convergence Council and the Mobile Convergence Committee – CableLabs is taking aim at multitenancy at the edge and the convergence of both hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) and 5G networks. The initial focus is on the melding of network stacks into a common, collocated platform. "Because more than half of the CableLabs members are both mobile and cable system operators, we think this unique insight into operations of both network types will be a catalyst for driving convergence requirements," Carmela Stuart, director of the future infrastructure group at CableLabs, explained on the Light Reading podcast. Much of that work is detailed in a new white paper (PDF): Best Practices for Deploying 5G into a Shared Environment. And while the initial focus involves 5G vendors, CableLabs expects to run a similar exercise with HFC component vendors, and particularly with suppliers of virtual CCAPs (converged cable access platforms), Stuart explained. Here's a snapshot of topics covered in this podcast:How the role of CableLabs is evolving to focus on network and service convergence (1:12)How CableLabs is working specifically toward the convergence of 5G and HFC at the edge of the network (3:00)What security issues need to be ironed out as network operators attempt to collocate different vendor apps on the same Kubernetes cluster. (4:30)An outline of convergence goals that are being pursued by CableLabs and its members. (6:20) An overview of the aims of a relatively new "10G" lab that's focused on interactivity and the testing out of various use cases involving cloud native 5G cores, virtual RANs and virtual CCAPs. (9:30) How and why open source is playing a role in these network convergence projects.

Stephen Key joins us to discuss how inventors can successfully license their most valued ideas.  Stephen Key and Licensing Inventions Stephen has an extensive following on YouTube, where he coaches, mentors, and advises inventors. His channel focuses on those who have ideas but don't want to start a business. Creative people want to do what they are good at but don't always want to do the heavy lifting. This is where the licensing business model comes into play. The first part of the process is recognizing that companies must keep innovating to stay alive. Then you need to deeply understand a specific company's culture, business model, etc., and sell them an invention that fits what they are looking for. Licensing is all about finding that perfect partner that has everything in place today. If you come up with an idea, it is not copy-proof. When you market your product to an established leader, they can get it to market fast, protecting you.   Where Inventors Go Wrong Most inventors who approached HP didn't understand our product lines, strategies, customer segments, etc. If an inventor who had done their research came to me, the conversations would have been different. Product developers need to understand the company's mission, vision, supply chain, costs, etc. Most inventors look at things only from their perspective, resulting in failure. Inventors need to invest time with potential licensees. In my ten years at HP, the winners at this were the ones who knew our mission, technologies, and competitors and had a plan of attack.  The 10G Challenge, InventRight TV and inventYes There are many contests and programs to help inventors win. CableLabs is hosting a contest called the 10G Challenge, based on new services that will run on multi-gigabyte broadband networks. The prize is $50,000 in four different categories: Health, education, work, and entertainment. The best overall idea wins $100,000. At the end of it all, the inventor keeps their idea.  Stephen started his YouTube channel, InventRight TV, to give people a roadmap on how they can license their inventions. He also created inventYes, a free program that teaches kids how to license their inventions. It's all about giving people the opportunity to see how they can change the world.    Check out Stephen's YouTube channel here. Check out his LinkedIn page here.    About our Guest: Stephen Key Stephen Key is an author, writer, and leading expert in licensing consumer product ideas. The innovative packaging solution he brought to market has more than 20 patents and received 15 industry awards, including two Edisons. InventRight, the coaching program he cofounded in 1999, has helped people from more than 60 countries license their product ideas. Stephen has a popular YouTube channel inventRight TV, and writers for Forbes, Inc., and Entrepreneur. In 2017, he cofounded Inventors Groups of America to educate and empower inventors and inventing group leaders. He is also the co-founder of inventYES, a free program for high school students worldwide. In 2020, he became a founding member of the United States Intellectual Property Alliance to help educate entrepreneurs and inventors on intellectual property.

The Pioneers Dick Kirsche and Chris LammersRichard (Dick) KirscheDick is a retired Electrical Engineer after more than 60 years in the profession.  That career provided him with opportunities to work with several emerging technologies.Dick graduated from Lehigh University in 1960 with a degree in electrical engineering.  He began his career at ITT Laboratories working on radar systems and satellite earth station terminals that provided the ground communication link for the early communication satellites.  (Telstar, Relay, Syncom, etc.)Dick transitioned to a position at RCA Astro-electronics after an IT&T reduction in force.  Astro was designing and building several early satellite systems.  Dick's concentration was the design and qualification for launch of the command receivers that supported ground control commands.  He continued in the aerospace industry until the mid-1960's when he joined a startup company designing custom power supplies and a UHF television exciter for a startup transmitter manufacturer. (Townsend Associates)  Dick joined Townsend to head up their transmitter design and production engineering.  Townsend was acquired by Ampex Corporation which expanded their presence in the Broadcast Industry.  When Ampex suffered some financial setbacks related to their music recording business.  The Broadcast transmitter division was shuttered to improve their bottom line.  In 1972 Dick was part of a group from the closing Ampex transmitter operation that started Spectrum Cable, a company that was seeking cable system franchises in the Western Massachusetts area.  Spectrum was awarded franchises in 3 communities in the suburbs of Springfield, MA.  At that time Cable television was, essentially, a reception service which made operation in city TV markets like Springfield challenging.  Spectrum's offering to that market was superior reception in addition to 2 channels from the Boston, MA market that provided coverage of major hockey and basketball teams.  Spectrum employed a unique network of cylindrical steel towers, with headend electronics at the top and distant signals shared by microwave.  Shortly after Spectrum began operation Home Box Office was added via regional microwave.   Spectrum was acquired by Colony Communications in 1975.  Spectrum's cable systems were combined with 4 cable franchises in the same region operated by Colony.  Dick was hired to head up engineering for that group of cable franchises.  Over time, Dick's responsibilities expanded to head of engineering for all of Colony's cable and MDS microwave systems.  Cable system technology was advancing rapidly during that period.  Channels, received from satellites became common.  Dick worked with the Colony engineering team to install the 2nd 10-meter dia. earth station in the Northeast.  Expansion of cable service channels, from satellite, sparked a rapid growth in public interest in cable TV service.  Colony aggressively supported that expansion of service offerings on their cable systems.  Dick also supported the franchise acquisition team seeking additional cable television communities for Colony.  Dick left Colony at the end of 1981, joining Greater Media Cable at the start of 1982 as Vice President of Engineering.  Greater Media had a strong presence in New England which was expanded through franchising and acquisitions.  That expansion also included one-fourth of the City of Philadelphia and a complex of systems located in the suburbs of Detroit, MI.  Cable television technology was advancing rapidly during that period as operators continued to improve their service offerings and reliability.   During his employment with Greater Media, that operator became a founding member of CableLabs, deployed a 60 channel AML microwave system for the large Worcester complex of towns, began offering DOCSIS data over cable service, began using fiber optic cable for video distribution, and expanded their local video origination service to a full-time live news service.  Dick was active on SCTE, CableLabs, and NCTA Industry committees for Greater Media.  The Greater Media cable operations were sold in 1999.  In 2000 Dick joined RCN, a system operator that competed in the Cable space by building their own facilities in parallel with the incumbent cable television provider, as Director of Video technology.  RCN deployed Video on Demand technology and developed a unique set-top box technology designed to give RCN a competitive advantage in the Chicago cable market.   Dick joined Comcast Cable as a Director in 2005.  Initially, he was part of the team creating a specification for a set-top box design unique to Comcast.  His work continued as part of a small engineering team testing and certifying set-top boxes for deployment to subscribers by Comcast.  His duties also expanded to supporting Comcast's work to improve the energy efficiency of Comcast devices in subscriber's homes.  This included active participation in the DOE's Energy Star program and Cable industry initiatives to address government energy efficiency requirements.  Mr. Kirsche left Comcast in 2010 and opened Kirsche Consulting LLC.  Kirsche Consulting supported Cable Operators' set-top and energy efficiency reporting efforts.  That work included considerable recordkeeping and analysis work for Comcast which led to significant energy savings for Comcast subscribers.Dick officially retired in 2018 but continues to support SCTE standards work as a volunteer.   Christopher J Lammers, COO Emeritus and Senior Executive Advisor, CableLabs® Chris is currently coo emeritus and senior executive advisor for CableLabs leading special projects and initiatives, including the integration of SCTE as a key part of CableLabs, together with supporting relationships across industry associations including ACA Connects, The Cable Center, CCSA, the Emma Bowen Foundation, NCTA, NCTC and WICT. Prior to this, Chris served as senior vice president and chief operating officer at CableLabs directing accounting and finance, IT, facilities and membership development. He remains committed to relationships with mid-sized and smaller MSOs, as well as with international cable operators in Asia, Europe and Latin America, key communities he built at CableLabs. Chris currently serves as a member of the board of directors of The Cable Center and the Emma Bowen Foundation and is actively involved in committees and/or support for several national and international industry trade associations.  He is a member of the Cable TV Pioneers (Class of 2021). Prior to joining CableLabs in 1997, Chris was president and CEO of Western Communications, a mid-sized multiple system operator with cable systems located in the Western United States. Before that, Chris was a partner with the San Francisco law firm of Cooper, White & Cooper. Chris received a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Chicago School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts degree with distinction from Stanford University.AcknowledgmentsA special thank you to Benjamin Monlezun for the use of his original song, Downpoor.The views expressed in this episode are solely those of the podcast host and guests and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy, or opinions of CableLabs.

Shoshana ZuboffShoshana is the author of three books, each of which signaled the start of a new epoch in technological society. In the late 1980s her decade-in-the-making In the Age of the Smart Machine:  The Future of Work and Power became an instant classic that foresaw how computers would revolutionize the modern workplace. At the dawn of the twenty-first century her influential The Support Economy: Why Corporations Are Failing Individuals and the Next Episode of Capitalism (with James Maxmin), written before the invention of the iPod or Uber, predicted the rise of digitally-mediated products and services tailored to the individual. It warned of the individual and societal risks if companies failed to alter their approach to capitalism. Now her masterwork, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power, synthesizes years of research and thinking in order to reveal a world in which technology users are neither customers, employees, nor products. Instead they are the raw material for new procedures of manufacturing and sales that define an entirely new economic order: a surveillance economy. She is the Charles Edward Wilson Professor Emerita at Harvard Business School and a former Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School.AcknowledgmentsA special thank you to Benjamin Monlezun for the use of his original song, Downpoor.The views expressed in this episode are solely those of the podcast host and guests and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy, or opinions of CableLabs.

Today's episode is one of my favorites! We're talking about innovation and we are JACKED to have innovation thought leader, Phil McKinney on the program!  If you want to skip straight to her interview, 5:27 is your spot.If you don't know Phil, you should get on that, he's AMAZING.Phil's passion is innovation. He's the CEO of CableLabs, an author, coach, and the host of the longest continuously produced podcast...EVER. It's called Killer Innovations, and has been running since before iTunes!He was the CTO at Hewlett Packard, He's the author of the book "Beyond The Obvious," the founder of "Hacking Autism," a nonprofit using innovation to change the game in autism therapy, and he EVEN built a fish farm in Rwanda. I could go on and on.TCB Layout0:00 - Open0:55 - Show Start2:28 - News5:27 - Phil McKinney Interview1:06:24 - Funny Stuff & Close___Links:Phil McKinney Website: https://philmckinney.com/Podcast Website: https://killerinnovations.com/Book Website: https://beyondtheobvious.com/TCB Mighty Network: https://the-corporate-bartender.mn.co/So, what is TCB?In these crazy days, I felt like we could all use some support, some community, some innovative people-side-of-the-business ideas, and of course, some cocktails. What started as a response to COVID19 has evolved into something much more meaningful. It's become an amazing group of people leaders from various industries who have come together as the world is changing to share ideas, some best practices, to learn from our mistakes, and build connection with others who are facing similar issues.We are all about sharing at TCB. We share Learning & Development tools. We share updates to the legal landscape. We talk about issues facing our employees and our leadership teams. We interview innovative People Leaders who have cutting edge ideas. Oh, and we laugh. A lot!I know what you're thinking. What is this thing? Is it another Zoom meeting? Is it a Podcast? Is it a show? What in the world am I getting into? It's all of those things and none of those things. Think of it as a video podcast with a live interactive audience. It's a community. It's a forum for ideas, meeting similar folks, and finding a little bastion of sanity in an exceedingly complex world. It's a breath of fresh air, and a respite from your grueling schedule - where you'll be in great company, and probably take away a few things that you can use at work...and in life each episode.If you are an HR or People Leader in your organization, this is the place for you. You are welcome here!

Fake it till you make it? This week I sat down with Phil McKinney to discuss his powerful testimony on overcoming Imposter Syndrome. Despite Phil's impressive resume (Former VP and Chief Technology Officer for Hewlett Packard, President of CableLabs, Founder of the Innovators Network, Host of the Killer Innovations Podcast, author, and so much more), Phil had a secret that made Imposter Syndrome a nagging hurdle to overcome.

  Today's show is unique.  I recorded it as I drove back to Denver from an annual event in Keystone, Colorado.  The event centers around what's coming in the next three to eight years in technology and innovation.  So, sit back and enjoy the ride as I share my thoughts on innovation and the near future.   Pondering AI and Ethics I delivered two keynotes at the event.  During one, I got a question about Artificial Intelligence.  To be specific, did I agree or disagree with what other tech leaders were saying about AI.  This prompted a lively talk during the keynote and afterwards. The discourse kept me mulling over thoughts on innovation, AI and the future.   We've featured some shows this year that touch on the use of AI.  Recently, the Box Chief Product Officer shared how Box is using AI for content management.  Earlier in the year, Microsoft's Corporate VP for AI, Steve Guggenheimer, gave insight into applying AI for innovative solutions.     Yet, some have negative views on AI and where it could lead.  They preach a doomsday message - job losses, robots taking over.   Where am I in this spectrum? In my response to the question, one of my points was to consider ethical innovation.  The innovation doesn't matter. People can innovate for good or evil. What we need to think about is how we define ethical innovation.  Are there innovations that should not be made for ethical reasons?  And we must consider the unintended consequences of innovations.   I don't have all the answers.  But the conversation should continue.  Innovators must ponder, discuss, and debate the ethics.  I'm interested in your thoughts on ethical innovation. Hop on over to Killer Innovations, look at the show notes, and post your comments.  Let's raise the visibility. If we in the innovation game don't address this now, there could be greater issues and dire effects in the future.   Keeping up with the Pace of Innovation Continuing my thoughts on innovation is another topic.  The pace of innovation and absorption. As the pace of innovation increases, it impacts industries.  It especially affects those dependent on ecosystems. The window to develop innovation, bring it to market and get a return on investment is short.  As the cycle concludes, the next round of innovation pushes forward. Customers can't always keep up with the pace. Absorption becomes an issue.   How do you synchronize it?  How do you mesh the creation of innovation with the customers' ability to implement?  And is it worth it to the customer to keep up with the constant influx of innovations?   The Near Future One of the highlights of the event is the premiere of the latest in the vision video series The Near Future.  We've been doing this since 2016 at CableLabs.  I've worked on vision videos most of my career. During my tenure at HP, I made a series of six vision videos.  One influential video was Roku Reward – The Future of AR Gaming produced in 2006.  It became a popular pitch lead in for entrepreneurs.  The video predates iTunes, connectivity, and mobile apps.  It's a precursor to the now popular Pokémon Go. At the time Roku Reward was made, we were anticipating this technology would arrive within eight years.  It actually took ten, but the vision was there.   The intent of The Near Future series is to create a visual on innovations in everyday life three to eight years out.  The 2016 film, called The Near Future: Bring It On, opens up a window into what the future looks like in a home with ultra-high-speed bandwidth.  In 2017, the video The Near Future: A Better Place, featured Rance Howard, actor and father of director Ron Howard.  This video gives a glimpse of the future for older adults. It shows how innovation can enable independent living, mobility and immediate access to healthcare.   Last week we premiered The Near Future: Ready for Anything.  It takes a look at education of the future.  From a virtual chemistry lab to connecting students globally, see how the next generation will learn in the near future. Vision videos are a great way to tell your product's story.  If you'd like to do a vision video, reach out.  I could give advice, guidance, and make introductions to help bring your story to life.   Thanks for joining me as I share my thoughts on innovation.  I would love to get your comments on any of the topics mentioned and start the dialogue.  Leave your comments after the show notes at Killer Innovations.   Want to discuss these and other innovation issues with your fellow innovators?  Join The Innovators Community.   Five Minutes to New Ideas Price is king.  Build 'em cheap stack 'em high.  It's practically the motto for most segments of the tech industry.  It's a core assumption about what the majority of customers want. But that assumption is not always true.  Take the sales of the HP DreamScreen in India, for example. Value sometimes outweighs price in a customer's decision.  If the value the product brings to lives justifies the cost, they will go to the ends of the earth to find a way to make that purchase.  Price and value are not the same thing. Listen to Five Minutes to New Ideas for more on customer perceptions and innovative ways to bring value at the right price.

“Innovating with a purpose,” is something you might hear often. What does that really mean? Phil McKinney and Kym McNicholas touch on the upcoming technologies the cable industry and specifically CableLab are stirring up for the future -- for the better. CableLabs is the research and development arm for the cable industry. The role that broadband now plays in the world is truly remarkable. The question is -- how can they get broadband to those who don’t have it. It’s not longer a “nice-to-have” but rather, a “must-have.” At the CableLab annual conference, the team showed a video that emphasized their vision for the future of healthcare. Virtual doctors and other technologies show promise in the future of medicine. In fact, technologies such as these could cut nearly one trillion dollars in health care costs. You need to question society. What innovation do I need to create to address this societal challenge? It is all about how you define moments of need and connect them.

DOCSIS celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015. To commemorate this industry milestone, Larry Satkowiak, former President and CEO of The Cable Center, gathered CableLabs veterans Robert Cruickshank III, Thomas Moore, and Brian Reilly to chronicle their work together on the DOCSIS development process in the early 1990s, leading up to the deployment of cable modems and two-way broadband communications at speeds nobody had seen before. Cruickshank also discusses the lessons learned from the telephone companies' development of ISDN and the importance of standardized equipment specifications and interoperability.

The Story of DOCSIS. Short for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification, DOCSIS is the international standard for high-speed internet connectivity. In creating DOCSIS, CableLabs, its cable operator members and technology vendor partners, bridged the worlds of cable and digital networking that cleared the path for some of the most innovative ideas and applications in the history of communications – including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.  For more information, download the free e-book Souls of DOCSIS, by Robert Cruickshank.   

America’s greatest pastime has begun! Major League Baseball is underway! And there’s a new MVP! It’s the CIO! The lead technology strategist for MLB teams are not only changing the game for fans, but also the players. And I would argue that San Francisco Giants CIO Bill Schlough, is at the forefront of cutting edge technology to improve player performance. His IT team has put into play a number of proprietary analytic tools that are credited for helping the team earn three world series trophies in five years. We caught up with him recently at Spring Training and spoke to him about the technological evolution of the Giants and what’s next. He shares some of the secrets to this Bay Area franchise’s success. Phil McKinney, CEO of CableLabs, the research and development arm of America’s cable companies, also joins the conversation to talk about the newest innovation to create a more impactful fan experience at home. And just as Major League season is underway, the NBA is about to climax! Who is in contention for this year’s NBA Championship? Count the Golden State Warriors IN! Find out a big secret to the Warriors run for the championship. Latisha Taylor, Founder/CEO, of HealthMeasured shares one secret to the Golden State Warriors’ Championship. She says it has to do with a technology that measures oxidation and inflammation levels, which are key to future disease prevention. She left a successful career in pharmaceutical sales five years ago to start HCPN Alliance, which has become a multi-million dollar healthcare practice management firm. Her clients include the Golden State Warriors. And now she’s also started Health Measured to fill a gap in employee health awareness and disease prevention, In both cases, she is 100% committed to putting an end to diseases which she believes could be preventable if the inflammatory culprit was caught early on.

I would argue that with Bill Schlough at the helm of technology implementation for the San Francisco Giants, I would never count them out when it comes to a run for the World Series Championship! His IT team has put into play a number of proprietary analytic tools that are credited for helping the team earn three world series trophies in five years. The MLB implementing a new tracking system in all 30 major ballparks, called Statcast, that can rank defensive powerhouses as well as star batters using cameras, radar, and sensors, may have leveled the playing field starting in 2015, but Bill always has a few technical tricks up his sleeve. Hear more of what he is measuring now and how his IT Team is helping players to improve performance in the 2017 season. Plus, he talks about improving the fan experience both in the stadium at home. Bill played a pioneering role in the world of HD video, mobile content, ticketing, and payment systems since starting with the SF Giants in 1999. And under his leadership, AT&T Park became the first sports facility to provide free Wi-Fi to all fans in 2004. Bill talks about the challenges he's faced in deploying access points throughout the stadium to get around the lack of penetration through people and cement, including the outcry when antennas were placed under stadium seats, and how he was able to overcome that and continue to roll out effective, seamless connectivity for all of the fans. Phil McKinney, CEO of CableLabs, the R&D arm for cable companies across America, joins Bill in talking about improving the couch experience for fans with the rollout of 4k in 2017. Phil explains why it's great that Bill and his team have waited to roll out cables to support 4k, because the next generation is already here. He talks about that and how that will impact the fan experience at-home in the last ten minutes.
