The Uncommon Series continues – looking at the relationship between insights and innovation


Discover a fresh look at the relationship between insights and innovation. Part One goes back to the foundations – the conditions that shape whether innovation actually takes hold inside organisations.

Before ideas, processes, or tools even enter the room, there are signals, behaviours, and cultural defaults that quietly decide whether innovation moves or stalls.

This edition examines those fundamentals

It’s a clear, practical starting point for anyone who wants innovation to be understood rather than overcomplicated. Get these foundations right and innovation stops feeling abstract or over-engineered.
