Having too many ideas is just as paralyzing as having none. The excitement of possibility quickly turns into frustration when those ideas stay trapped in notebooks and late-night brainstorming sessions. The challenge isn't just generating new concepts—it's organizing them, refining them, and turning them into something real. AI can't replace creativity, but it can help cut through the noise, connect the dots, and bring structure to the chaos, making execution as dynamic as the vision itself. Bryan Mattimore, co-founder of Growth Engine Company, is a leading innovation strategist who has helped generate $3 billion in new sales for Fortune 100 companies. Author of 21 Days to a Big Idea and Idea Stormers, he is known for his creative problem-solving techniques and TEDx talk on innovation. Today, he explores how AI can revolutionize brainstorming, sharing practical methods for using it as a creative partner. He discusses how innovators can leverage AI to generate, refine, and develop breakthrough business ideas. Stay tuned! Resources The Growth Engine Co.

Nonprofits often create strategic plans with the best intentions, yet many fail to achieve their desired impact. Why? We explores the factors that contribute to the breakdown of strategic plans and provide actionable insights into making them resilient and adaptable, with Doug Paul, Managing Partner and Innovation Strategist at Catapult.Doug begins by challenging conventional thinking, offering, "Strategy is always a hypothesis—an informed opinion about how to win." Strategic plans often fall short because they are built for a world that no longer exists. Many organizations cling to outdated planning models that are too rigid to accommodate the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of the nonprofit sector.To truly succeed, nonprofits must rethink their approach. Doug introduces the concept of "assumptions mapping," a technique that scrutinizes the foundational beliefs of an organization to ensure they are sound. He also discusses the importance of "pre-mortem" planning—analyzing potential points of failure before they occur.Continuing, Doug describes how flexibility is key. Instead of treating strategic plans as fixed roadmaps, nonprofits should refresh and iterate their plans regularly, integrating learning cycles every 90 days. This shift allows them to navigate unpredictability with agility and confidence.Doug also points to the need for nonprofits to cultivate an R&D mindset, setting aside 10-15% of resources for innovation and experimentation. "Every once in a while, one of these bets is going to hit, and when it does, it could change everything," he tells us.A nonprofit's strategic plan should not be a rigid document—it should be a living framework that adapts, learns, and evolves. If your nonprofit can embrace this mindset, you'll be better positioned to achieve meaningful, sustainable impact! #StrategicPlanning #NonprofitLeadershipFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Thomas Kearns' journey in software development and architecture. It starts with his early interest in combining architecture and technology during his college days in the 1990s.After graduating, Thomas worked at digital design studio in New York where he explored concepts like web urbanism. He later moved to Chicago and co-founded Sandbox, working on forward-thinking architectural projects. When the 2008 financial crisis hit, Thomas went back to school to get a masters, considering leaving architecture. However, he ended up staying in academia, teaching at IIT and exploring urban informatics projects involving big data and generative design. Around 2012, Thomas co-founded the ed-tech startup Bit Space which brought architectural computational ideas like parametric modeling to K-12 schools. After several years of running Bit Space, Thomas joined Perkins&Will as the Director of Design Computation. The interview covers Thomas' self-taught journey in constantly exploring new technologies like VR and AI, his approach to finding flow states in work, and reflections on work-life balance and employee motivations. He shares thoughts on architecture's legacy of overwork and his own evolution in setting boundaries while retaining passion.Thomas offers advice to emerging architects - focus on integratively applying computation in buildings rather than siloed technical roles. He sees major impending changes as AI automates architectural production and hopes the profession responds with more humanistic priorities. He shares wisdom on focusing ideas, working across disciplines, navigating hype cycles, and believing in the longevity of a vision. 00:00 - Introduction 00:03 - Software development journey and mentors 00:53 - College days studying architecture and early web development 06:55 - Graduating architecture school and career options 13:07 - Effective ways of learning and solving problems 19:00 - Economic crisis and pivot 23:20 - Teaching architecture and technology 29:40 - Running an architecture firm and business lessons 34:15 - Work-life balance 37:55 - Virgil Abloh and teaching influence 58:50 - Motivation and achieving flow state 01:15:00 - Metaverse and spatial computing trends 01:21:00 - AI transformation of work 01:38:00 - Advice for computational designers #virgilabloh #thomaskearns #iit #aec #aectech #digitalinnovation

Jacques Skuteeki is a McGill graduate in Economics and Marketing. Started his career in sales and then got his first dream job in the pharmaceutical industry. Then, his interest was to get into Hospital Supplies so he could learn about group purchasing, his next step was to discover the world of Diagnostics; quickly after he became a Marketing Manager and then got a sales Manager position. At that point, he needed a break from the corporate world and decided to take a 6-month Sabbatical and backpack to Asia and visit six countries and then fell in love with Bali in Indonesia.

Then, for the next 15 years as a barter member, he moved to marketing and landed up running his own barter exchange in California.Covid hit the market, and he decided to sell his business.

At this week's Round Table, Ava, Kenisha, and Madeline spoke with Kaz Brecher, founder of Curious Catalyst and Innovation Strategist for Made By Us. As the daughter of two rocket scientists, Kaz loves the process of inquiry and thrives in ambiguous contexts, drawing from her background in psychology, behavioral science, innovation, emerging technology and media. She believes that empowering others is the best way to have impact and spends half her time creating directly and half her time teaching others, striving to help people see what they uniquely bring to groups. She is committed to respecting everyone's uniqueness and helping people be confident and centered in order to be empowered to do work. She believes that courage is contagious, as are all behaviors. In tackling issues and challenges, she asks, what's the problem and how do we connect to people who have them? She firmly believes that the more opinions you have, the better the solutions you can come up with BUT there can also be a lot more friction as a result of different perspectives. She encourages us to think about what we can do together that we couldn't do individually and emphasizes that changing systems—and society—is never easy. Being a translator is critical because different touch points resonate and we must always come back to the basics of what connects us: listening, respect, curiosity.

It's part two of last ep's convo with FDI's Paul Smith and tech & governance experts, Pia Turcinov and Alan Jones. This time they're thinking about how those ‘dangerous and disruptive tech folk' can reframe what they offer, in order to get a seat at the boardroom table in the first place.  The conversation spans: Why techy directors are seen as risky. Creating bridges in to the boardroom that can then grow more organically - from digital innovation subcommittees, to just one expert at the table. Getting the supply by reframing technologists as innovators. Speaking the language the board is speaking right now. Not just bringing in the technology of innovation, but also the processes of innovation – including, comfort with failure. Pia Turcinov is a Non-Executive Director and Innovation Strategist, and founder of Venture X and Fund WA. Alan John is a startup founder mentor and tech investor, who is a partner with M8 Ventures, and the chair of Catalysr, an entrepreneurship program focused on marginalised migrants and refugees.

You could be a banana farm. An insurer. A school network. It doesn't matter. Digital tech is now so integral to day-to-day life that, whatever business you're in, you're now a technology business. So why don't more boards have tech at the top of their minds? Why are Australia's ASX toppers the top tech laggers? That forms the topic of conversation today between board directors Pia Turcinov and Alan Jones and FDI's Paul Smith. The conversation spans: Why techy directors are seen as risky.

How did you get to what you do today? I know you are also an expert on Design Thinking – how would you assess the customer-centricity among incumbent banks in Switzerland and, say, a few years back? What are some of the best resources (books, courses, studios) where can someone start with Design Thinking? Check out Sparkacademy or Ideo, for example. DeFi and metaverse are hot topics – are these topics that banks can work on now or are they Horizon 3 kinds of problems? Examples of where you worked with corporate clients on metaverse applications Isn't DeFi going against the incumbents by definition? Does corporate innovation work or is it an innovation theater? What would advise start-ups trying to work with incumbents? What's the best way to talk to the right people, and who are they? Sustainability entered mainstream investing a while ago as well, yes, we still have issues with ESG investing, sustainability reporting and greenwashing.

#71 - Plaudertaschen meets Sparkassen Innovation Hub - 4 Thesen und die GenZ (live von der Fachtagung Digitaler Vertrieb)In der 11. Folge unseres gemeinsamen Podcasts mit dem Sparkassen Innovation Hub, haben wir eine Live-Aufzeichnung von der Fachtagung Digitaler Vertrieb des Sparkassenverband Westfalen-Lippe für Euch. Gemeinsam mit JP Tonyigah haben wir live auf der Bühne über junge Menschen und Banking diskutiert - GenZ und GenA - relevant oder nicht?! Dabei haben haben wir sehr kontrovers über die folgenden vier Thesen diskutiert und Pros und Cons beleuchtet: 1. Banken müssen sich noch nicht mit Kindern und Menschen unter 18J. beschäftigen, da sie keinen Umsatz generieren. 2. Filialbanken sind tot. Junge Menschen haben keine Lust auf persönliche Gespräche mit dem Berater. 3. Die GenZ ist die Generation Zocker an der Börse. 4.

In each episode we will discuss a key topic area behind these partnerships with either a startup or a senior corporate stakeholder.In today's episode, I want to address one of the big ‘elephants in the room' within large corporations and that is how to make Innovation work (with start-ups). Within large corporations, Innovation seems to open up a ‘Pandora's Box' of questions - what does Innovation mean, who is responsible, what can it deliver, what can't it deliver, what are the key factors to be considered etc and the questions go on. So what does successful Innovation look like in some of the world's leading corporations? To help me in this quest, I am really pleased to have as our guest Andrew Backs, Founder and Chief Innovation Strategist at Pilot44, a SF based company that revolutionizes the way big companies (like P&G, Nestle and Sanofi to name but a few) innovate and grow.  Andrew and I discuss many areas, including the many 'waves' of corporate innovation and what the '3rd Wave' could look like in a few years time.Andrew's contact details:Email: andrew@pilot44.comWebsite: https://www.pilot44.com/LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewbacks/To find out more about Progressive, please contact us on:Email: Ken@thisisprogressive.comWebsite:  https://www.thisisprogressive.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/18066213/admin/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Progressive_HQ

At the end of the day, the only thing that is important is that we got up one more time than we fell. That is all that matters.” – Daniel Levin “Your humility is beautiful.

It is time to do what you were created to do.” – Daniel Levin from his book The Mosaic “So many of the people that I met, and I helped to become really big people lost the sweetness and the innocence and the beauty of who they were, and they started to believe the press clippings of who they had become.” – Daniel Levin   Resources Mentioned: danielbrucelevin.com   The Mosaic by Daniel Levin The Mosaic Podcast   Linkedin for Daniel Levin
