Welcome to the Arete Coach Podcast, hosted by Severin Sorensen. In this episode, titled, "The Business Leader's Guide to AI: Framework-Driven Strategy for the Digital Age," recorded on January 26, 2025, Sorensen shares insights from his groundbreaking presentation at Cambridge Judge Business School Executive Education programme where he discussed his innovative approach to integrating AI with traditional business frameworks. As the author of "The AI Whisperer Frameworks" and several other best selling books on AI implementation for business, Sorensen has developed a unique methodology that bridges the gap between established business strategy and emerging AI capabilities, making complex AI applications accessible to non-technical business leaders. In this compelling episode, Sorensen reveals how his layered prompt journey approach transforms traditional business analysis through AI integration. Using a real-world example of Frank Pepe's Pizzeria, he demonstrates how combining multiple frameworks - from company wikis to Blue Ocean Strategy - creates a comprehensive business analysis system. His layered prompt journey with strategic business frameworks, along with his successful books and AI-generated music ventures, showcases the versatility of his framework-based approach. What sets Sorensen's methodology apart is not just the use of AI or traditional business frameworks, but the innovative way he structures these elements into an educational journey that business leaders can follow to enhance their strategic thinking. Strategic Framework Integration: The episode illuminates how coaches can help clients move beyond basic AI implementation to strategic integration. Sorensen's layered approach demonstrates that effective AI usage isn't just about good prompts - it's about building a comprehensive strategic thinking process that combines traditional business frameworks with AI capabilities. This provides coaches with a structured method for helping clients develop more sophisticated AI strategies. Educational Leadership Development: Sorensen's framework-based methodology offers coaches a new paradigm for developing leaders in the AI era. By breaking down complex AI implementations into structured, framework-based approaches, coaches can help their clients build confidence in using AI while maintaining focus on strategic business objectives. This educational component is crucial for helping leaders bridge the gap between traditional business strategy and AI implementation. Process Innovation and Change Management: The discussion of agentic AI and the insurance industry example highlights how coaches can guide clients through transformational change. By showing how AI can reduce a two-week process to three hours while improving accuracy, coaches can help clients understand both the potential and limitations of AI implementation. This balanced approach helps leaders maintain perspective on AI as a tool for enhancement rather than replacement of human judgment.

Today Ted speaks with Eric Payne, founder of NuWest Builders and Co-Founder of Paynecole, an architecture firm specializing in 3D-rendered designs in Whitefish, MT. Growing up on a farm and surviving having a dot com business during the bubble taught Eric work ethic, follow through, and an unmatched drive to succeed. After transitioning to building, and scaling a successful luxury custom home business, Eric realized the greatest frustration he and his team had was solvable. Traditional building plans left so many unanswered questions, but after meeting Nic Cole, Eric learned that 3D renderings that stayed ahead of builders and were designed by professional animators could wildly improve the customer experience and building process for his team. Today, Ted digs into how Payncole came to be, how technology is changing the building industry, and the mindset that Eric operates from to build successful businesses. TOPICS DISCUSSED[1:50] Growing up surrounded by technology[6:05] Early adoption of technology changes how you think[9:20] How do you decide which technologies are useful?[12:50] Unique renderings of building projects and the process[15:10] Building plans are the number one source of frustration [19:50] Scaling 3D rendered plans[21:30] Mentors throughout life[28:20] What you accomplish with what you're given[30:50] How Zoom shifted scaling a business[32:00] Working on iconic structures in Whitefish[35:55] The start of Payncole[41:45] Adoption and education in this new technology[46:20] What do people not know about you?[50:35] What's a failure you learned from?[54:00] Where do you see yourself and the building industry in 10 years?CONNECT WITH GUESTPaul ShepherdWebsiteInstagramLinkedInKEY QUOTES FROM EPISODEI think our industry is dominated by limited goals. Most of the, from a builder standpoint, a builder will find this is the max capacity that we have. It's six homes at any one time, or it's two homes a year, whatever that is. And that's the max, because they're used to doing things same way they've always done them, and they wanna do them right. And that is a great, great goal to have, and it's a great limited goal. But if, again, if we can prove to these people like some of the great innovators that have come before, is we can change your whole way of thinking. That, I believe, is where the ultimate success comes from. So we started focusing on the renderings, bringing in art, the guys that were better, they're not architects that are doing these renders, they're animators and they're graphic artists.I'm about to see the West, specifically Montana, I see exploding far more than what we already have. I think we've just seen the tip of the iceberg.

Kelly Cone is passionate about process and technology innovation and how they can change industries and people's lives. My education is in architectural design and documentation, but his experience within the AEC space is far more varied. He has implemented various practice technologies into design, estimating, and construction teams and workflows; worked on amazing projects such as the SaRang Global Ministry center in Seoul as a designer, and Renzo Piano's addition to the Louis Kahn Kimbell Art Museum as a contractor; and has had the privilege of growing and leading one of the most talented VDC & Process Innovation teams in the industry. Those experiences have taught Kelly that there is a better way to create our built environment, andKelly wants to make that way become a reality. Now, with ClearEdge3D,Kelly can put that experience towards creating the tools we need to do so. Our world is filled with new, exciting, and sometimes even amazing technologies; but the AECO industry is often last in line to get their hands on them. At ClearEdge Kelly and his team are committed to applying the most recent advancements in reality capture, computer vision, and positioning technologies to dramatically improve what can be accomplished in the design and construction of buildings!

In this episode of the Social Lights Podcast, podcast host and https://my.captivate.fm/www.socialmediology.com.au (Social Mediology) founder Kate vanderVoort chats with Tania Cheng (She/They), Director of Process Innovation at http://www.sheeo.world (SheEO) and part of the team that creates and curates of all aspects of community at SheEO. SheEO has more than 7000 activators globally and combined online communities of over 50,000 women and non-binary people. About Tania Tania leads initiatives related to community experience design, online community engagement, feedback and evaluation, team learning and development, process mapping, and storytelling through design. Early on, Tania has been involved in intentional communities and their own personal journey of finding the places where they belong has led to find the value of community and value a sense of belonging. Tania naturally gravitates to work and people who care about the community and who care about relationships. BIG IDEA 1 “We are working to shift mindsets and paradigms” (08:32) As an organization and a community, Tania shared the impact they are trying to make; that they are showing the world different ways of doing things; different ways of funding ventures, different ways of doing business, different ways of being in community and different ways of being human. We are working to create more opportunities to have these conversations about equity inclusion, about power and privilege about decolonization around justice, all of these things that are essential to transforming systems. These mindsets that are deeply embedded in the way they co-exist as a community and how they build a community. Tania added that it's all part of this broader theory of change of transforming ourselves in order to transform systems and creating the systems that we need that will work for everyone. BIG IDEA 2 “The magic and the secret sauce of community is having the mentality and mindset of giving and generosity and trust and knowing that you can come and show up as you are” (13:11) Having a “How can I help?” mindset and knowing that you can offer your support and it will be received and you can ask for support and it will be given is one of the magic of communities. Tania says that community should be a space where you can let go of all the things such as being and looking a certain way. She said that we should strive to create a collective place where you can show up as yourself with no judgment.  We recognize that people are at different stages in their lives and have different things going on and how we can create a space that whenever you're here or whenever you participate, you're in the right place. BIG IDEA 3 “Feedback is critical to our processes. ” (37:32) Tania shared the process on how they handle feedback.  She said that their role as enablers in creating the systems and platforms and tools for the community to self-organize, is to get to action and transform systems. After every engagement event, there is always some feedback form and so they are able to immediately look at the feedback, react and respond as needed. Their theory of change at the core is their values radical generosity and abundance transformation. She says it's about how they embody the values in day-to-day practices and knowing that when they do that, they create the relationships that then leads to the transformation that we want to see in the world. At the end of the day, it's all about relationships.

For many established companies, enormous resources and risky decisions stand in the way of innovation. There are ample opportunities for innovation in large companies, both in terms of technology and business models. But often, a plateau happens when the mindset becomes stagnant. Striking the balance between short-term needs and committing resources to bold innovation is critical.Gary Pisano, Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Development at the Harvard Business School, advises business leaders to pursue transformative actions creatively. His intensive research in his book, Creative Constructions, suggests injecting innovation capacity through the right strategy, systematic changes, and reframing culture.Tune in to this episode as Greg and Gary tackle crucial innovation questions and how large companies can overcome them for sustained profitability.Episode Quotes:What factors affect the innovation capabilities of a company?As organizations get larger, they get more complex. There are more interconnected pieces. And when there are more interconnected pieces, any change gets harder to make because it involves other pieces. It can get exponentially more complex to engage in certain things. I think the other thing that happens is organizations build up capabilities, skills, and complementary assets like distribution and brand that become very powerful. But then they become an anchor. They feel like they have to continue to exploit those, they look for ways to exploit those, but it narrows down their focus. The other thing is culturally they, don't attract the right people, they don't attract people who are creative or risk-taking. They attract people who want the safety of a large company and sometimes a large bureaucracy.How to best analyze a company strategy?Ultimately, strategy comes down to, I think, in the book strategy is where you spend your money. So don't tell me what your strategy is, tell me where you're spending your money, and I'll tell you what your strategy really is. But, you know, strategy is a pattern of commitment to a pattern of behavior, and you don't always do the same thing. Can financial analysis become a systematic way to measure the results of a strategy and help business leaders set a framework for innovation? So you think about analytic as a process for structuring your thinking in a logical way, and a rigorous way to invite discussion and to invite exploration that is going to help the senior leaders make a better judgment. And at the end of the day, it's judgment. And that's all these things do, and that's what leaders do. They make judgment calls. But they want to make good judgment calls, and they want to make sure that they're not being biased. They want to make sure they're asking all the right questions.How can we eliminate silos that create impermeable boundaries inside an organization?You actually need people who can really bridge gaps, and you need talented people to do it. Technically talented people who become architects if you will, of the vision of a technology and who could say, 'Aha, this insight from field A and this insight is from the very different field B. It is something really powerful that nobody's thought about.' I mean, it's intellectual arbitrage of bringing an idea from one field over to another or combining ideas. I think that's what innovation is. And going back to Schumpeter, he talked about innovation as recombinations, and it's that, I think, is huge. But to get that to happen, again, you need some mechanisms inside the organization to bring those ideas together, and you actually need people who do it. And they really do have to be intellectual like an architect who can see all the pieces.Which aspect of the corporate culture tends to be the hardest one to implement for leaders who pursue innovation?I think innovative cultures are really tough on people. They're not necessarily the most pleasant places to be. I think, as an organization and as a leader, your job is to make sure that the organization is prepared for this. It's not a walk in the park. It's more like climbing Mount Everest. The view's great when you get there, but there's hell to pay along the way.Time Code Guide:00:02:25 Why do large companies have lesser innovation capacity00:05:16 What makes Innovation unique from other businesses decisions00:07:59 Identifying the purpose of Innovation00:10:09 The Innovation Strategy00:12:06 Financial Analysis as a Framework00:16:11 Innovation leads to dematurity of industries00:24:02 Allocating resources to develop new capabilities00:25:36 The Value Chain of Innovation: From Search to Synthesis to Selection00:28:49 Active ideation00:35:07 Onboard people with intellectual arbitrage00:38:16 Constructing mechanisms for cross-connections00:40:50 Building teams outside the silos00:45:26 Strategy, System, and Corporate CulturesShow Links:Guest ProfileGary Pisano's Profile at Harvard Business SchoolGary Pisano on InstagramGary Pisano on LinkedInGary Pisano on TwitterGary Pisano's Official WebsiteHis WorksThe governance of innovation: Vertical integration and collaborative arrangements in the biotechnology industryCreative Construction: The DNA of Sustained InnovationProducing Prosperity: Why America Needs a ManufacturingScience Business: The Promise, the Reality, and the Future of BiotechOperations, Strategy, and Technology: Pursuing the Competitive EdgeHarvard Business Review on Managing High-tech IndustriesThe Development Factory: Unlocking the Potential of Process Innovation

Justin Donlon, VP of Process Innovation and Analytics at CarGurus, explains why DATA must be a first class citizen for implementation success. He names the three rights of passage for every Salesforce Admin or Consultant: integrating CPQ, consolidating Orgs, and transition to Lightning. He reflects on why these projects get derailed when data is not treated as a first class citizen. "Too often data is used to enable features and functionality. Rather, features and functions should create accurate, quality data"

Does the SIT method work with services as well? This is actually the most common single question that I get about innovation and the SIT method. And the quick answer is, YES! The Systematic Inventive Thinking or SIT method is not only applicable to products, it’s also highly valuable in process innovation.  Let's explore how we could apply the SIT method to a service. The point is to look for opportunities so that we see the structure or function of the process in a different way than we're used to.    They’re all designed to eventually help us break fixedness, which is that cognitive bias that makes it very difficult for us to imagine configurations other than what we know.  In this episode you’ll hear: How to apply the SIT method to a service Why process innovation is important The difference between a product and a service The benefits of applying the SIT method to a service or process The Division Technique The Task Unification Technique Some examples of SIT method applied to services Resources from this episode: Downloadable scorecard to rate your idea   *** Episode Credits If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

The modern story of technological innovation is usually told as a story of scientific discovery followed by translation and commercialization. What if there is a broad class of technological innovations that do not follow this narrative? What if, despite being frequently overlooked or misunderstood, these innovations have revolutionized society in domains as diverse as materials, energy, electronics, and healthcare? On this episode of the Nanovation podcast, Matthew Realff returns to the show to talk with Mike about ‘fundamental process innovations’ -- technological innovations that emerge from rethinking the strategy by which a series of manufacturing steps are organized and executed. They discuss why process innovation often goes unrecognized, present a framework to understand it, explain how new areas of science emerge from it, and offer suggestions for nurturing it in the future.

Welcome to the Process Innovation Experience...a lot of buzzwords, but trust me, if you're into (or even interested in) the world of business process improvement, this is definitely worth checking out.

Summary & Ideas for Action Jim Gilmore, best-selling author and co-founder of Strategic Horizons LLP, discusses his experiences, books, and the importance of mastering the various modes of observation to innovate and improve decision making. Key Takeaways [6:50] Jim explains how he came to write Look. After studying Edward De Bono, he had an insight into thoughts, actions, and observations, which inspired him about six looking glasses to represent modes of observation. [11:27] The six looking glasses are: Binoculars, for surveying and scanning, Bifocals, for comparing and contrasting views, Magnifying Glass for pinpointing the main point, Microscope, for scrutinizing the details, Rose-colored Glasses, for seeing potential, and Blindfold, for recalling all you have seen. Together they help people see more of what there is to be seen. Observation is separate from cognition. [24:40] Watching people in groups and in detail can reveal unseen patterns of behavior that lead to innovation and disruption.  [26:00] When film was an expense, people framed their photos carefully. We lose our sense of framing by shooting carelessly. We take too many shots to curate. Study a scene carefully and limit yourself to framing one shot. Apply this deliberation to business decisions. Apply it to life. [37:31] The more skilled you are at observing with the first five glasses, the better you will be at recalling blindfolded what you saw. If you don’t look well, you will recall poorly. The best glasses for a leader is to be skilled in using all of them. Particularly consider the bifocals. Pair opposites, and pair things as opposites. All innovation begins with observation. [45:44] Jim sat next to George Carlin on a cross-country flight in 2000. Jim learned how George Carlin worked and filed his observations. He said, everybody observes, but they don’t know where to put the data. George Carlin maintained 2,500 directories where he recorded his daily observations and he knew each category. Come up with a number of categories of things you want to be consciously observing.

Gilmore Linkedin: Jim Gilmore Email: Jim@StrategicHorizons.com   Books Mentioned in this Episode Turn Signals Are the Facial Expressions of Automobiles, by Don Norman Bio Jim Gilmore coauthored the highly influential book, The Experience Economy: Work Is Theatre & Every Business a Stage (Harvard Business School Press). Now published in nineteen languages — and in an updated paperback edition — the book spawned worldwide interest in experience design, experiential marketing, and customer experience management. Jim’s other book, Authenticity: What Consumers Really Want (Harvard Business Review Press), prompted TIME Magazine in a March 2008 cover story to name its insight on the subject as one of “Ten ideas that are changing the world.” Jim is co-founder of Strategic Horizons LLP, based in Aurora, Ohio. He is a Batten fellow and adjunct lecturer at the Darden Graduate School of Business at the University of Virginia, where he teaches a course on the Experience Economy. Gilmore is also a visiting lecturer in Apologetics at Westminster Seminary California, where he teaches a course on cultural Hermeneutics. He also teaches a design course at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. He is a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, an alumnus of Procter & Gamble, and, before co-founding Strategic Horizons LLP, was head of CSC Consulting's Process Innovation practice.

This paper studies the innovation strategies of multi-product firms in industries with different scope for product differentiation. In a simple model of multi-product firms, we show that returns to product versus process innovation are industry-specific. Demand and cost linkages induce a natural distinction between the returns to product and process innovation. In highly differentiated industries, the cannibalization effect is lower and, therefore, firms invest more in product innovation. In homogeneous industries, firms internalize intra-firm spillover effects and invest more in process innovation. We test the predictions from the model using Brazilian firm-level data, with information on investment efforts over time. Following a major exchange rate devaluation, firms have better access to foreign markets and exploit economies of scale in innovation. However, detailed information on product and process innovation allows us to evaluate differential effects across industries. We con.rm the predictions from the theoretical model and show that the type of innovation depends on the industry scope for differentiation.
