Have you ever noticed that decision-makers aren’t always the best at evaluating new ideas? It’s not just a gut feeling—it’s backed by research. A recent study revealed that while experts are great at recognizing creative, groundbreaking ideas, putting them in decision-making roles often limits their ability to select those same ideas. Why? Decision-makers tend to focus on risks and uncertainties they can’t control, making them more cautious and less likely to choose novel concepts. The takeaway? If you want smarter decisions and more innovation, separate idea screening from final decision-making. Let experts spot the gold, and decision-makers evaluate feasibility without missing out on breakthrough opportunities. It might be time for you to rethink how you approach innovation evaluation—because great ideas shouldn’t get lost in the shuffle. What do you think? Have you seen this play out in your own organization? Let’s talk. #Innovation #Leadership #CreativeThinking #Business #Analytics https://lnkd.in/gBtq5Pr3

Ranch as a "Breakout Actor" from “business as usual” innovation, we were honored to be foundational contributors to this important work. The book—and now the audiobook—captures the transformative practices we teach through Innovation Engineering, reimagined in a fresh and compelling way. The chapter on Fail Fast, Fail Cheap highlights our work specifically, showcasing how experimenting smarter can drive meaningful innovation.
