Doug Hall on Innovation and Employee Engagement: A Modern Leadership FrameworkOn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Doug Hall, founder of Eureka Ranch and co-founder of Dexter Bourbon Company. With nearly four decades of experience guiding innovation for top global brands, Doug shares a powerful perspective on how leaders can drive innovation through a proactive, engaged workforce. From launching disruptive ideas with Nike and Disney to transforming the work culture at his distillery, Doug's approach emphasizes engaging every employee to build a system that thrives on innovation.Personal Growth, Innovation, and the Power of CuriosityDoug shares that every year, he selects a personal learning theme to stretch himself—this year, it's learning the ukulele and perfecting artisan bread baking. These hobbies reflect his belief in continuous learning and expert mentorship, a mindset he also brings into his business ventures. Doug launched Eureka Ranch in his basement to help brands innovate and later developed Innovation Engineering to teach individuals how to invent and implement ideas from within their own organizations.Creating a Culture of Proactive Problem-SolvingDoug emphasizes that most wasted time in business stems from broken systems—not bad employees—and leaders must empower teams to identify and fix inefficiencies. At Dexter Bourbon Company, a frontline worker solved a daily struggle by voicing her challenge, leading to a simple fix and higher productivity. This approach is outlined in Doug's book, Proactive Problem Solving (available on Amazon), which provides a clear framework for building engaged, solution-focused teams.Turning Engagement into Innovation and Competitive AdvantageDoug explains that modern employees crave purpose and clarity, and when leaders communicate the “why” behind tasks, teams become more motivated and committed. Proactive problem-solving creates a culture where employees drive innovation from the ground up, transforming organizations into agile, empowered environments that don't just survive but lead.About Doug HallDoug Hall is the founder of Eureka Ranch and co-founder of Dexter Bourbon Company. He is the creator of Innovation Engineering and author of multiple books, including Proactive Problem Solving. Through his decades of work, Doug helps teams and leaders unlock creative thinking, drive growth, and build thriving innovation systems.

Charli had the opportunity to sit down with Brad Baumann this week.  His journey started with a small military defense company for nearly 13 years, of which, he was attending evening classes to complete my mechanical engineering degree. After several years and a couple “two-time championships” courses, Brad graduated from Oklahoma State University with my BSME in the fall of 2019. His  professional work experience and drive for innovation is what led him to OsecoElfab, or “OE” for short. OE is a pressure intelligence company with an extensive background in rupture disc technology and pressure relief solutions. In all his professional development, safety and protection has been a priority. Whether it's working teaching EOD technicians to diffuse inert training aides or ensuring plant operators within the industry are protected from the equipment they use; Brad's interest is aligned to protecting and saving lives.Contact Brad @ baumann.brad@yahoo.com Find us @EmpoweringPumps on Facebook, LinkedIn,  Instagram and Twitter and using the hashtag #EmpoweringIndustryPodcast or via email podcast@empoweringpumps.com

 Welcome to Ep 21 of Radwell Automation Nation. In this episode, we are going to talk about something that recently came across my radar as an interesting topic. I spoke to Rob about it and we figured out listeners might find the topic interesting as well. So here we are. Our guest in this episode is Michael Bonto and our topic is aviation opportunities for engineers. Let's give Mike a proper introduction. Ever since he can remember, Mike's been fascinated by any type of aircraft or anything aerospace related. In 1987, he took his first intro ride in a single engine two seat airplane, which led to him eventually earning his pilot certificate and ratings. Since then, he has always been involved in aviation directly or indirectly. It has taken him through many wonderful experiences, from meeting and interacting with aviation professionals, private pilots, and fun flights to running a flying club and flying school. Mike currently runs a program for Innovation Engineering in Aeronautics. The program is South Jersey Aero Foundation. The goal of this program is to inspire the further pursuit of a career in aviation and aeronautical engineering while developing the necessary foundation of technological and analytical skills. This will be achieved through the completion of small projects designed to introduce current technologies that are directly applicable to problems in aviation. If anyone is qualified to discuss opportunities for engineers in the aviation field, it's definitely Mike Bonto.  Email for Podcast Questions or Feedback: automationnation@radwell.com Guest: Mike Bonto South Jersey Aero Foundation  Links:Donation page to show support for the programhttps://www.classy.org/give/330902/#!/donation/checkoutwebsitehttps://sjaero.org/ SJAF contact information:info@sjaero.org(609)288-2982Pilot Career Path Consultancy Servicehttps://sjaero.org/featured-service/ Hosts:  Julie Basello       jbaselloholt@radwell.com                   Robert Tiedeken  rtiedeken@radwell.com Production: Julie Basello and Patrick StewartMarketing and Promotion: Julie Basello  Links: Radwell Automation Nation Podcast http://podcast.radwell.comRadwell International http://www.radwell.com

I first learned about Doug Hall's insights on marketing and innovation when I read Jump Start Your Business Brain. His newest book is Driving Eureka. Doug is a pioneer in the field of innovation engineering and the founder of Eureka Ranch. He's our guest on this week's edition of CFO Bookshelf.

  In this episode, Ihklaq Sidhu, PhD and Mike Grandinetti share information about "Global Venture Catalyst", a new hands-on, entrepreneurial education initiative they're launching to provide 500 engineers, technical students, and business school students around the world a transformative experience to work in diverse teams to develop new hight-impact projects. Today's topics include: Details about the Global Venture Catalyst, such as what participants can expect to experience or achieve What Ikhlaq's and Mike's goals are in creating this innovative program and what would make it successful Why they decided to create this offering What makes it different from other programs out there How students can apply and where should they go for additional information The themes of Ihklaq's book, "Innovation Engineering”, and what he was hoping to accomplish by writing it How Ihklaq and Mike see the pandemic shaping engineering and entrepreneurship going forward, even after normal activities resume

On today’s podcast we interview Stephen Shapiro, hall of fame speaker, innovator, instigator, author, and advisor at 24/7 Innovation. I was really excited to have Stephen use his latest book, Invisible Solutions, 25 Lenses that reframe and help solve difficult business problems, to help us come to better solutions for today’s dispersed workforce.The pandemic has caused fear, uncertainty, and isolation, and Stephen shares that the only way to find solutions in this unprecedented time is to learn how to ask the right questions. No more closed questions, ask HOW questions:People are asking the question, “when do we go back?” The problem with this question, is that it is closed, and can only provide a limited answer. The other problem with this question is it is too wide open. “Going back to what?” Are we going back to how life was? Are we going back to traveling? Stephen reframed the question to ask “how” questions and to narrow the area of the question. Better questions are, “How can we go back to collaborating face-to-face?” “How can we go back to our culture?” “How can we go back to the same level of productivity?”Ask Reflective Questions:Better questions would be reflective questions, “What are we learning?” “What have we improved?” “What should we eliminate?”Much has changed, yet we still want to have the best results. One of the great questions to use during this pandemic to create greater effectiveness is to use the Results lens, “What’s the purpose of this meeting?” “What’s the desired outcome?” What do you want to achieve? Many people are asking how to maintain their cultures. Perhaps a good question would be, “What do you want to achieve with the culture?” In many cases, the culture was a place where people received help, got their questions answered, felt cared for. By understanding what you want to achieve, you can come up with activities that are not necessarily an onslaught of meetings. The Leverage Lens:Another way to strengthen the culture is to use the leverage lens, and ask “If we could only focus on one aspect of our culture, what would it be? Change one word:Instead of asking, “How do we keep people connected?” ask “Why do we want to keep people connected.Scenario-based vs. one size fits all:Steve proposes that we look at going back to the office in a “scenario-based” lens. Let’s look at figuring out which scenarios determine whether we need to be together, and let’s optimize for each scenario. Performance Paradox:For those of us who are feeling loneliness and isolation, let’s not focus on not being lonely, but instead focus on how we can be of service to others. When we focus on the goal only (being not lonely) we lose the opportunity to focus on other outcomes.Elimination Lens:Another way to help those that are feeling lonely, is to ask what else do we want if we were to eliminate loneliness. In that case, we might choose joy and happiness to replace loneliness. Reframing Overwork: Instead of asking, “how can we prevent people from overworking?” we can instead ask, “What work gets people energized?” “How can we get people more focused on what energizes them?”Links to Stephen Shapiro:Personality PokerStephen’s WebsiteInvisible SolutionsBest Practices are Stupid24/7 InnovationAudio Cre

Doug Hall is Founder of the Eureka! Ranch, the Innovation Engineering Institute, and Brain Brew Custom Whisk(e)y. He is the author of the bestselling book Jump Start Your Business Brain: Scientific Ideas and Advice That Will Immediately Double Your Business Success Rate and the new book Driving Eureka! Problem Solving with Data Driven Methods & the Innovation Engineering System. Hall has been named one of America’s top innovation experts by Inc.magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Dateline NBC, CNBC, CIO Magazine and the CBC. His Innovation Engineering system is responsible for over $16 billion in growth and system improvements projects in active development. He is an inventor, researcher, educator and craft whiskey maker.   Podcast Highlights Who is Doug Hall? Doug is a compulsive experimenter, he measures the results and then innovates based on the results. Doug is just a curious guy. He started his first business at the age of 12 just to see if he could do it. Everything he has done is driven by genuine curiosity. When he tried something to make money, it always failed, but when he approached things from a point of curiosity it always worked much better. Creativity Systems Doug has measured over 9000 teams in an effort to learn what allows people to create more meaningful ideas. The first thing is stimulus, people think that to get good ideas they need to sit in an empty room and the ideas will come, but that’s the last thing you should do. You create a system of gathering stimulus together to get your mind to react off of and create new ideas. The second thing is diversity in view points. When you combine people with diverse perspectives that trust each other, you get an exponential effect on the creativity of the group. The third thing is fear. Fear is the creativity killer so trust is very important, the key to driving out fear is to use data to build your confidence. Big corporations are usually more interested in getting a big idea given to them than having their team taught how to generate big ideas. We don’t believe in our people and we have to believe in our people to create great things. A team can’t win with just one all star. People are typically hired because they are innovative and creative but then they are told to just do what they are told. As a leader, it’s your job to set the vision and then give your team the training and tools to do the job. Innovation Engineering and Inventing New Things Doug made the conscious decision to become an inventor. He ended up working a Proctor and Gamble for ten years in an inventing centered role and set a lot of records at the company. Doug’s rule is simple, every six months ask yourself the question “am I smarter now than I was before?” If not, it’s time to move on. After getting fed up seeing ideas get killed by the corporate bureaucracy, Doug went into academia and created Innovative Engineering programs that have gone on to teach 35,000 people how to create better ideas. When ideas go into the development system in most organizations they will lose half their value because people will compromise. Ideas get killed as they go through the bureaucracy because the teams are fighting each other instead of working together. Being data driven is the solution to driving out fear. So much of our society teaches kids that they aren’t or can’t be creative. There are a lot of habits that need to be unlearned if you want to innovate. Reference: Driving Eureka! Problem Solving with Data Driven Methods & the Innovation Engineering System, Doug Hall Doug’s Takeaway The first truth is your idea stinks, but if you have the mindset of never ending continuous improvement of that idea you are guaranteed suc

Innovation is No Longer Optional Doug Hall has been in the innovation space for more than 30 years. His new book, Driving Eureka!, is about finding, filtering and fast-tracking to market and includes an update on what is continuously being learned about creating, communicating, and commercializing ideas. In 1986, Doug started Eureka Ranch, an early "accelerator" program focused on commercializing products. He took a system-driven approach to innovation to enable businesses to increase speed and decrease risk. In 2008, Doug created Innovation Engineering, a field of study that will be on over 100 campuses by 2019. Innovation Engineering focuses on how to find, filter and fast-track ideas. He backs it with software that helps users find data through tools like rapid cycles, sales forecasts, writing patterns, and project management designed for innovation. Doug’s seen many ideas get compromised through development. His software captures data and helps businesses use the data as they go through the process. It’s designed to deal with uncertainty and helps companies document, creating quantitative information. Doug uses a Deming approach. Innovation has to be in everyone. May need a culture shift in companies, but have to change the person before you can change the organization. Culture change two ways: led by the top or enable the workers. Train to work smarter in their job.  It’s all about cycles: run experiment, study what you learned, do it again. How does a cycle work? An idea faces three death threats: market risks, tech risks, and organizational risks. Then you get a meaningful uniqueness score. Then put the idea through a 4-step Deming Cycle: Plan (what are you trying to do), Do (what experiment are you running), Study (why did it work), and Act (What are you going to do. Go around again or change, adapt). SPECIAL BONUS: To find out more, go to Doughall.com/VIP and you’ll find a one-hour audio Book with a prescription for success and to help you understand your strengths and abilities to innovate.  If you liked this episode, you might also enjoy Ep. 109- Greg Larkin, Author of This Might Get Me Fired, Ep. 95- Steve Glaveski with Collective Campus and Ep. 94- Andy Cars with Lean Ventures GET THE LATEST RESOURCES: Get the latest episodes of the Inside Outside Innovation podcast, in addition to thought leadership in the form of blogs, innovation resources, videos, and invitations to exclusive events.

Mike, Tom and Tad in studio. I am not sure what goes on at the Power and Speed compound over the week, but some strange stuff goes on with the wildlife..... Tom tries to drag Mike into a camshaft discussion and I think what we learned is the guys would really like a good camshaft guest to come on.  It's tough to ask an engine builder about cams because they can be like Mike, very focused on a particular "type" of motor.  The guys floated a few names, and I am sure they will get someone. Anthony Disomma of Disomma Racing Engines called in tonight with a surprise 2nd person on the phone, Nick Bruder from Bruder Brothers Racing.  Recently there was a rule change that was relatively focused on the Bruder's car.  There is obviously lots to this story, some we heard... some we did not.  The people involved in these classes know exactly what goes on.  Mike told Anthony many shows back to he would run everything as fast as it could go at all times.  Sounds like there might be some killer passes out of this camp in the near future.  Anthony and Nick said it best, the race is won or lost during the week.     Did you ever hear of a JR Dragster with a 4 speed gearbox?  Of course not. You know why?  This guy will tell you.  Steve McAllister of Innovation Engineering built one!  If you don't know who Steve is, then you never owned a dyno.  Steve manufactures a host of dyno starter and drive dampening systems for most dyno systems.... as well as JR Dragster transmissions.  Check him out. Fireman Jeff called in in the quest for the, dare I say, 10 second range from his street driven LSA conversion.  Over 4000 lbs and this thing is getting faster every week.

This week's podcast features Doug Hall, CEO and Founder of Innovation Engineering and Eureka! Ranch as he shares his approach for taking the systems thinking of Dr. Deming and applying it to the world of strategy, innovation, and growth. Doug shares the story of how his father introduced him to Dr. Deming and systems thinking in the late 70's. Doug's father worked at Nashua Corporation, which was one of the early corporate adopters of Dr. Deming's philosophies. Later Doug took that systems mindset to the Proctor and Gamble brand management department taking nine innovations to market in 12 months, which is still a record today. After 10 years he retired from corporate life and established Eureka! Ranch. He soon found that corporate executives were not interested in a systemic approach to innovation. Doug pivoted and repackaged himself as a innovation Guru who in truth was powered by systems thinking. He was soon named one of America's top idea gurus by A&E To 10, Inc. Magazine and the Wall Street Journal. Doug went on to do dozens of projects for such top innovators as Nike, Walt Disney, and AT&T. His fame lead to network radio and television roles, writing of books and to the role of "Truth Teller" judge on the first season of ABC TV's American Inventor.  As he was getting ready to retire from consulting he returned to his roots and founded the new field of academic study known as Innovation Engineering at the University of Maine. Their mission is to change the world by enabling innovation by everyone, everywhere, everyday resulting in increased speed to market and decreased risk. Their method for accomplishing this is to apply the systems thinking of Dr. Deming.  The rise of the internet and the 2008 recession created the opportunity to transfer the system approach to innovation from universities to the commercial world. It worked-companies found that when they enabled their employees they could increase speed to market by up to 6x and decrease innovation risk by 30 to 80%.  Listen as Doug explains why he feels today's younger generation are the greatest generation for workers. And why starting with the "what, why and how" is such an important first step in innovation.
