Innovative global viewsii We live in the hyperconnected global society, business leaders and professionals need to shed the tendency to share their unique viewpoints on common concerns, leadership perspectives on value proposition, life experience, world view; information technology, culture quintessential, as well as education, to bridge the multitude of differences, shape the true global mindset and professional competency for building an advanced human society.

Innovative governance practices Governance complements the management approach. Without governance, the management could “get lost” or become too trivial. When companies become bigger and bigger, they try to overly control processes and administrative procedures that make it difficult to reach the strategic goal of the company effectively. In a high mature organization, governance must be viewed and assessed at the senior leadership level such as corporate board. High mature governance enhances information management cycle, iterative strategy management cycle, as well as an investment portfolio cycle, etc, to drive high performance results.

Innovative Society Nowadays, information is exponential and knowledge is only a click away. Most human societies are moving from agricultural or industrial societies into information/knowledge societies, and very few are on the way to shape a creative economy. The radical change from one era to another is often called paradigm shift. The transformative change often requires changing underlying beliefs, cultures, or conventional wisdom, etc. Whether we can set a progressive tone to make a seamless paradigm shift may depend on how we make the mind shift to structure shift to behavior shift; as well as how to drive progressive changes sociologically, technologically, philosophically, psychologically, evolutionarily, etc.

Uncover agility value via inquiries Organizational agility is about the company being able to adapt to changes or creating conditions for changes. Business with agility can satisfy customers by consistently delivering high quality, invaluable products/service with minimal delay. Agility enhances interaction, iteration, improvement and collaboration, so you build a lot of trust and respect by letting people come up with what works best for them, also improving business maturity ultimately.

Innovative Organization With Pillars With exponential growth of information, knowledge only a click away, the unprecedented convenience brought by emergent digital technology makes a significant impact on how we learn, think, and do things. Individuals and organizations should always be open to, conscious of, and feel empowered to play and act upon change dynamics. They have to be solid enough to give some sort of form or meaning but amorphous or fluid enough to the environment and respond to change promptly. In fact, we are at the intersection point of knowledge economy and creative economy; we are on the journey to build a highly-innovative and highly intelligent society with the following characteristics.

Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking about the new ideas; it’s not just about WHAT to say, but about WHY to say, and HOW to say it. It reflects the color and shade of your thought patterns, and it indicates the peaks and curves of your thinking waves. Unlike pure entertainment, quality and professional content takes time for digesting, contemplation and engaging, and therefore, it takes time to attract the "hungry minds" and the "deep souls." It’s the journey to amplify diverse voices and deepen digital footprints, and it's the way to harness your innovative spirit.
