🐸 Today is Leap Day! A perfect occasion to highlight our new business-building efforts at Leap by McKinsey. As the global leaders of the Practice, my colleague Paul Jenkins and I explain why every day is a Leap day at McKinsey in our recent blog post: https://lnkd.in/ezt93j95 Our research shows that the time is now to invest in new business-building, which, as you see below, can lead to successful results. Since 2018, Leap has built hundreds of businesses that have generated billions of dollars in value. As Paul said, “Technology is making it easier to build than ever before.” And I agree. A lower barrier to entry will help usher in new ventures, opportunities, growth, jobs, and value. #McKinseyDigital #LeapbyMcKinsey #NewBusinessBuilding #LeapYear2024

Had the great privilege of delivering a session on “Organic Innovation Frameworks and Metrics” at the “Transformation Summit” organised by the LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) in collaboration with the Project Management Institute (PMI) on the 12th of Oct. I have always tried to remain a practitioner of Innovation and Continuous Improvement since my early developer days, exploring within and beyond the bounded spaces of our work, exploring every aspect that Innovation and what it touches and improves, namely operational efficiency, engineering efficiency, new and better ways of doing things, introducing new technologies and tools, creating an innovation culture with our teams and beyond. Some of the key learning areas for me over the years that I also tried to share with the audience - Practicing Frugality Develop Diverse thinking within the team Collective Risk-taking Ambiguity tolerance Immune to Failure Gathering Insights continuously Believe in Data and Believe in yourself Being on the Ground Challenging Dominant wisdom Encouragement and motivation to the team Pattern Recognition in problem-solving Need for perseverance and evolution in approach. As we try to measure the effectiveness of our Innovation endeavors, Measure the Joy Index of the team Measure the tangible value (money) gained Measure speed Thank you LSEG for inviting me! #innovation #technology #digitaltransformation #leadership #continuousimprovement #advancedleadership #creativity #management #entrepreneurship #entrpreneur Teksands.ai Code4x Richa Sarna Niranjana Bari
