Product innovation starts with ideas, which anyone can generate by asking a few simple questions.

The easiest route to creative product innovation is to start with something we already have and ask some simple questions about it to suggest new ideas. For the sake of demonstrating how this can be done, we’ll suppose that we want to design a new kind of bicycle.

John Reddish has been writing an annual Martin Luther Kind Day Tribute for several years. This year is different. With the election of Barack Obama the next day…This year, I believe, Martin Luther King Day, January 19, 2009 represents the end of a beginning for our American Dream - an end to our violent birth and growth to adulthood as a nation, and an end to lip service paid to promises - still unfulfilled.

It always becomes a good move for the company to recompense scorecard metrics that show good performance. This gives rise to a lot of possibilities for improvement.

In every company, metrics mean the world when they deal with measuring the company’s performance, ability, efficiency, and overall productivity. In this matter, all the aspects and perspectives in a company are taken into consideration, with all the factors composing them being lumped together to give a more or less gross summary of the company’s capability. Making the move to recompense scorecard metrics that show satisfactory performance is the next step to making sure that good performance will continue.

You’re in the market for a franchise and after months of reading brochures, watching slick videos, and poring over UFOCs, you’ve pared down the list of possibilities to two or three. Now what? It’s time to meet with these franchisers and start asking questions. You may feel like you’re already on information overload and the franchisers have been eager to spill their guts, so what more is there to know? Ask the right questions, listen closely to the responses, and you’ll be surprised how much more there is to learn. The UFOC provides answers to many of these, but you should expect details and clarification.

One of the difficult discussions I sometimes encounter involves strategic competencies. A strategic competency is know-how that enables you to create value for your customers in a unique way. One of the critical attributes of this know-how is that - as with most skills - the more you use it, the better it gets. Another way of looking at know-how based competencies is that they can’t be taken away from you - not by competition, changes in technology, or the marketplace. True, some know-how can become less valuable as markets change - think of Compaq’s early expertise in building high-quality “portable” computers that weighed 26 pounds (12 kilos) - but usually, this know how can lead to another competency that retains its value over time.
