What Innovation Coach Do to Help You?
DT LEADERSHIP
April 09, 2020

The old way of describing innovation is a closed one. Innovation used to be reserved only for the techies, engineers, R&D officers and bosses. What’s the new way? Innovation is open for everyone and anyone who wishes to create new value in the societies. Inspiring?

Now, the way I understand innovation is about solving problems. The way I understand coaching is about developing others potentials. Therefore as an innovation coach I professionally help leaders develop their potentials to create new value by solving problems particularly in organizations and businesses.

Why I Become An Innovation Coach (Part 1)
DT LEADERSHIP
December 28, 2019

In my late teens, I conceptualised several inventive ideas but I didn’t pursue them. I was too young and lack knowledge. To educate myself, I cut articles on innovation from magazines and newspapers. Internet was expensive and affordable smartphone wasn’t yet invented. I compiled these articles and read them, flipped well in my jacket. I thought I got all the knowledge about starting a business covered, I ventured out from being a corporate salary man. It’s time I whispered to myself.

A decade ago, I started a cafe business. It closed down within a year. Lessons learned was, start small but how small? I used to work in hotels, starting a cafe was small enough. Our menu was good, ingredients sourced from the right suppliers and the cafe was well equipped. Customer research done, nothing could go wrong. Wronged we were.

Why I Become An Innovation Coach (Part 2)
DT LEADERSHIP
December 28, 2019

In Part 2, I wish to share more intimate reasons Why I Become An Innovation Coach.

Iplay sports – basketball and football. I was part of the school team as right guard and centre (basketball) and full back and goalkeeper (football). In sports, in every game there was a clear goal – single and motivating – to win the game and eventually the championship.

We trained hard, we learned to work with each other in the team and we listened to our coach. We know our enemies by studying them so much so we might know more about them than ourselves. We check the field our court location we are playing to adapt during the game play.

Why Coaching For Innovation?
DT LEADERSHIP
November 03, 2019

As innovation becoming more demanding of leaders, organization now realize that technology alone wouldn’t be able to achieve their innovation goals. Leaders now found out that the people felt “left behind”, unwanted and confused. There’s so much animosity around innovation implementation as well as business or digital transformation towards that.

It seems, the high tech innovation that we brag about all these years requires some human touch eh? Yes we do, if we want to make it work and integrating well for long term. One of the tools that you can use is coaching.

Tech Talents vs Non-Tech Talents
DT LEADERSHIP
August 04, 2019

Many research shows excessive technology adoption alone will create existential crisis with the people in the workforce – which majority are non-tech talents & non-tech stuffs such as from operations, sales & marketing, customer relationship, culture, management and including leadership.

Senior leaders have to rally and devote extra attention to the people in the workforce by upgrading innovation skills for them to join the call for change and transformation. “Balance is key, invite everyone to join & innovate together.”

Starting Corporate Innovation Program
DT LEADERSHIP
July 16, 2019

Purpose of Recharge is to enable the organization to be aware and find some clarity there’s something new coming for them. They need to contribute, be part of and develop this new initiatives together. In other words, their participation is crucial. Often in some discussion from my experiences, I found some of this innovation is only circumvented from a particular department or division. What makes matter worse if innovation is deemed “IT – information technology” department.

Time In Omnichannel Business
DT LEADERSHIP
July 04, 2019

Today my colleague highlighted to me that our company DT LEADERSHIP FB page messenger recognized as “Very Responsive”. I am proud because it used to be 4-5 hours last year, the year before last 8-10 hours. We were late. Now “Very Responsive”. Why? We made a point to respond fast.

Previously we were slow because we felt decision making for coaching & training usually comes from formal channel like email or call for briefing. It used to be like that. We thought the request from FB Messenger usually for personal engagement; which we don’t do much at that time. Our focus mainly corporate clients and corporate innovation. Basically we didn’t treat FB Messenger as a channel for the public to reach out to us, FB Messenger to us was more like market segment of customers. We were wrong.

Reasons Why You Should Start Corporate Innovation Program
DT LEADERSHIP
June 11, 2019

You probably have heard about Innovation and you want to do something about it for your organization. It is like a puzzle that needs solving, but the think is which one you should start first? Here could be the reasons compiled why you want a piece of the action on Innovation:

There are so many new technology arounds but you have no clue how to take advantage of all these for your organization eg Industry Revolution, 4IR, Digital etc..What’s all these tech stuffs?
Around 40% or more of your workforce are 40 years old and below. This is consider fairly young workforce. Most organizations in Malaysia for example has around 50-70% workforce of 40 years old and below. How to tap this huge energy reserves?

Case Study: Co-creation in Developing Innovation Culture

May 30, 2019

“Tough”. That was my reply to a client.

It is common in many organizations to have multi-generational challenge. Today’s speed of change force everyone to move out from their comfort zones. Here I wish to share a short case study from an organization uses co-creation as a facilitative tool in building Innovation Culture.

Co-creator As Future Skills & Sub-skills to Become Good At It
DT LEADERSHIP
May 29, 2019

One of the skills that will useful to teach, demonstrate and acquire by future employees and professionals are co-creation skills. From LinkedIn above you could see it being the third important skills. So, what is co-creation skills? What is a co-creator? What are sub-skills needed to be good at it?

Co-creation in today’s business context is about working by collaborating with others. We define co-creation as the collaborative development of new value (concepts, solutions, products and services) together with experts and/or stakeholders (such as customers, suppliers etc.). Co-creation is a form of collaborative innovation: ideas are shared and improved together, rather than kept to oneself.

How to Use Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to Improve Healthcare Experiences?
DT LEADERSHIP

The technology is ready – however the technology alone is not enough to increase adoption and pervasive usage. What to do about it? Keep finding new problems – try to solve them and embed the tech to enable / solve that problem.

In healthcare this is possible and only imagination could help innovate the patients experience. At some hospitals in Europe and USA, they hired Chief Patient Experience Officer to look into this. From my research, I will share some of the pain points, problems and challenges that could be used by technology like virtual reality and augmented reality in improving patients experiences.

Each of us is endowed with innate creative potentials although it has to be intentionally supported to grow them. A recent continuous study from Dr George Land's 1963 which was revisited in 2023 confirming that young children exhibits high level of creativity. As we age, the creativity parts of our brain becoming more complex and structured, hence reducing creativity output (and innovation output).

Webinar with Dr Oleg Konovalov
DT LEADERSHIP
July 27, 2020

Just as you “spring clean” your house, you can rid yourself of the negative thoughts and feelings that are holding you back and the people who are sabotaging your goals. Our thoughts govern our attitudes and, therefore, the actions we take. The mind is such a complex faculty that offers more wonders than answers.
However, once the mind is blocked, it is seize to be creative and innovative. The mind seems to become preoccupied with things sometimes we don't quite understand. Why it bothers us so much? Why we feel trapped? Why we felt stuck?

The topic in this webinar, "How to Unblock the Mind?" is timely because of our recent experience during the pandemic. There are many of us who wish things could be better. At the same time many of us lost things they loved so much in recent months. This put a lot of stress, pressure and burden to oneself including the mind.

Dr. Oleg Konovalov is a global thought leader, business educator, consultant and author of several books. Oleg is on the Thinkers50 Radar, #1 Global Leading Coach (Marshall Goldsmith Thinkers50), and has been recognized as one of the top thinkers in leadership, vision, and culture. www.olegkonovalov.com

Innovation Coaching Clinic 1
DT LEADERSHIP
July 23, 2020

Design Thinking is an iterative process in which we seek to understand the user, challenge assumptions, and redefine problems in an attempt to identify alternative strategies and solutions that might not be instantly apparent with our initial level of understanding. At the same time, Design Thinking provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. It is a way of thinking and working as well as a collection of hands-on methods.

What's In Series 1? Here Khairul will share the key fundamentals of design thinking with some case studies. This is suitable for total stranger, noobs, newbies and those in need of a refresher on design thinking. There'll be opportunity to ask questions and chats about your projects or ideas exchange.
This clinic is complimentary. Time sensitive. Seats are limited. #designthinking #innovation

The Downside of BNPL
Thinkers360
May 29, 2023

Is BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) a game changer? In terms of access to credit, probably yes. In terms of credit risk? No way!

BNPL is on rapid growth among youth and young consumers in Southeast Asia including Malaysia and Indonesia. The idea of some providers to serve the underbanked or underserved is somewhat misleading. Although economically this segment is quite large, their ability to repay is quite concerning. 

Here are some key figures from different location and areas concerning BNPL: 

1. Late Payments: According to a survey conducted by Credit Karma in 2020, nearly 40% of US consumers who used BNPL services had missed at least one payment. Late payments can result in fees and can potentially impact a user's credit score.

2. Debt Accumulation: A report from ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) in 2020 found that one in five consumers in Australia were missing payments. The report also found that over 20% of BNPL users had to cut back on or went without essentials such as meals, and over 15% had taken out an additional loan to make their BNPL payments.

3. Young Consumers: Younger consumers, who may be less experienced with managing credit, are particularly drawn to BNPL services. A survey by Ascent in 2021 found that nearly 45% of Gen Z and 37% of Millennials in the US had used BNPL services, compared to just 8% of Baby Boomers.

4. Understanding Terms: A survey by CompareCards in 2020 found that nearly 30% of BNPL users in the US didn't fully understand what they were signing up for when they chose to use these services.

5. Regulation: As of 2021, BNPL services were not as heavily regulated as traditional credit products in many countries. This has raised concerns about consumer protection. For example, in the UK, a review by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) found that the BNPL market needed to be regulated to protect consumers.

These figures highlight some of the potential risks associated with BNPL, including late payments, debt accumulation, and a lack of understanding about the terms and conditions of these services. They also underscore the need for more consumer education and potentially more regulation in the BNPL industry.

BNPL also is known to charge exorbitantly high late fees, between 10%-35% depending on scheme and platforms. There should be a better design for access to online credit and the regulators should go hard to mischievous providers. 

This is an example of innovation that can be harmful to customers if they are not careful. Lack of education of proper financial lliteracy may contribute to this problem however providers with great foresight should have designed a better product that is useful and meaningful for customers.

CFOs, How Much Money Do You Need For A Good Innovation Program?
Thinkers360
July 22, 2020

Innovation is relentlessly challenging and difficult— many corporations end up losing financial leverage, frustrating the manpower, and going nowhere. Corporations spend billions of money and energy annually to pursue innovation conquest but this huge spending would only generate more value for businesses if the innovation success rate were just a little higher. Yes? There is no fixed amount of how much budget is needed to set aside for innovation initiatives. Obviously, budgeting for innovation program depends on where and to what extent a company is in its life-cycle. A technology giant company like Apple, for example, spent more than $8 billion last year on its R&D, which seems like a lot but it was only 3% of revenues. Yet, R&D don't yield quick returns and most of them could be a wastage.

On the other hand, a high-tech payments company, Square, spent only $46 million for its product development in 2012, and it was 24% of Square’s revenues. Instead of asking how much, you might want the CFOs to answer to “is there a way to increase the innovation rate without spending more?” This thorny question of how to fund innovation is more important to be catered, particularly if your organization is forever challenged to "do more with less". A well-structured budgeting plan will be easily set aside if the innovation program is considered in these two bases: the innovation capacity and innovation ability. Innovation capacity is the organization’s potential for doing the innovation. This is the stuff such as assets, resources, technology and manpower that are easy to buy, and that organizations is willing to spend to. Most innovation investments, such as product improvement, manpower solutions, technological innovation, and research and development (R&D) traditionally aim at strengthening the organization’s innovation capacity. Today, innovation capacity can be easily obtained by every corporations, small or multi-national, new or incumbent. Manpower can be hired through the sharing economy; technology can be rented by hour; finance can be sought; and assets can be bought. But capacity alone is insufficient to increase the innovation rate and create a significant value, regardless of how huge the capacity is. That is where the innovation ability comes in. Innovation ability is an aspect of creating value, like new customer experiences, a revised service system, or new business models. An organization may increase its hiring and have many people providing innovation capacity, but may still struggle to increase its innovation ability, because the capacity by itself does not invent nor implement a new business model, an advanced service system or a better customer experience. Let’s take Nokia during 2007-2010 as an example of a corporation with great innovation capacity. Globally know that Nokia offered technologically feature-rich mobile phones and in fact, Nokia is the first corporation that invented the smartphone. Nokia actually offered a touchscreen smartphone two years before the Apple. However, Nokia tied itself to its Symbian operating system (OS) despite knowing its weaknesses in the consumer’s eyes. Although Nokia did have resources to develop a new operating system (OS), they chose to hang on with Symbian and as a result, Nokia became less favourable and unable to create new value. The initiatives are taken differently in Apple. Technology advancements are the backbone for both companies, but Apple did a much better job connecting its technology to a service system delivering new customer experiences through a relevant business model. In Apple, outside developers were allowed to sell apps through its iTunes and the App Store in condition of 30% of the sales made by outside developers goes to Apple. The huge number of apps created provides customers with a vast selection of new customer experiences. We have come to these conclusions that organizations should spend less on building the innovation’s capacity. To make success with innovation initiatives, corporations need to consider the innovation ability —the business model, customer experiences, and the service system— that become the value drivers. In other words, even if your organization increases the manpower to work on innovation initiatives by 10% or even 20% — while at the same time, refinement are made internally — there is simply no valid ground to believe that the organization will create greater value. Even if it has new ideas, new technologies, new products, or new services, none of these will necessarily increase the organization’s innovation success rate unless innovation ability changes the value drivers. If the two bases are well-grabbed, organization will have clearer picture of how much to set aside for the innovation program and the resources will be spent on the right kind of innovation initiatives. Instead of spending too much money on attention-grabbing, shiny objects and straightforward activities like hiring new people, procuring new technologies, and buying more facilities, it is harder but better to change the design of a current service system, introduce new customer experiences, or build a better business model that grant higher investment return. CFOs, do you know where to put your money now? :) This article is part of our #innovationliteracy #celikinovasi educational insights from innovation coaching and development program for corporates internal innovation teams.

Reasons Why You Should Start Corporate Innovation Program
Thinkers360
July 16, 2020

You probably have heard about Innovation and you want to do something about it for your organization. It is like a puzzle that needs solving, but the think is which one you should start first? Here could be the reasons compiled why you want a piece of the action on Innovation: 1. There are so many new technology arounds but you have no clue how to take advantage of all these for your organization eg Industry Revolution, 4IR, Digital etc..What’s all these tech stuffs? 2. Around 40% or more of your workforce are 40 years old and below. This is consider fairly young workforce. Most organizations in Malaysia for example has around 50-70% workforce of 40 years old and below. How to tap this huge energy reserves? 3. There’s so much ideas being presented to you and your management teams, but it is who is looking after them? What is the outcomes or results? Why there seems to be nothing implemented? Who is doing the monitoring? 4. You and your management team would like to find out new opportunities for business growth. Maybe there’s something? 5. The internal processes seem overwhelmed with tapes after tapes and you wanted it change for so long, but why the problem still persisted? 6. People morale is getting lower by the day with all other concerns about the economy, jobs security and personal finances. How to rejuvenate and recharge? 7. You have some budget (approved by the Board) to work on innovation programs, where to start? (Innovation program budget starts from $50k-$100k) 8. The training done by the human resource seems to have very little impact because they said the organizational change should be addressed at the same time. 9. Your management team (kitchen cabinet) is becoming more picky, testy and struggle to communicate cohesively and you don’t know who is the dark horse anymore. Put your foot down? 10. The entire workforce especially the operations, middle managers and customers facing staffs said, “Our customers complaints has increased and they have switched to our competitors.” Shall you wait any longer? The above listings are popular reasons I personally have observed and listened during my engagements with our clients. What’s yours? I’d love to compile several more to provide greater awareness that innovation program is a strategic decision.

Corporate Innovation is Not A Department
Thinkers360
July 10, 2020

I think corporate innovation should be an embedded strategic program cut across divisions. Who should lead? I’ve seen HR doing it, IT doing it and CEO office doing it. The easy way out is CEO office, but I’ve seen CEO's have 25 direct reports, how could they add another? My best bet: corporate innovation should be a mandate that should come from the Board as a strategic program (with start and end period - max 3 years) and review every 3-6 months. Each year is a different “focus” leading towards the objectives and outcomes. Why Board? Because the Board changes a lot less than top management. Besides, the Board has greater cohesion between them that can drive management teams and its workforce. Now, the problem with the Board? They lack customers voice and are seemingly out of touch with the business realities on the ground. The Board can use corporate innovation to get this mended instantly. Greater customers voices should be heard directly at the Board level and wider attention should be paid. Let’s get on board. #corporateinnovation #business #relationships #innovation

The Eight Leadership Beliefs

July 09, 2020

Leadership is both art and science. It means it is unique to that person yet it can be learned methodically from one person to another. My journey to learn about leadership is about the same, i saw what my leaders do and i follow. I practice the good ones and congruent with my own values that I appreciate. In the process I also learn to let go some leadership characteristics that I found later to be excessively manipulative and with prejudice. Besides, through reading and observing how other leaders and followers interacting, I learn a great deal as well.
