Come affrontare il presente e costruire il futuro allo stesso tempo?

How do you cope with today and build tomorrow at the same time?

Many of us juggle daily tasks at work, trying to improve while also planning for the future. This is what we call ambidextrous innovation, and it's not easy for individuals or companies.

Businesses face a similar challenge, needing to both optimize current operations and dream up the next hit on the market. It's like innovation expert Alexander Osterwalder says: everyone can and should do some level of innovation, but it's easier said than done when you're swamped. (link in the comments)

Both people and companies can't reach their full potential when working alone. It's hard to innovate when there are time limits and competing priorities. 

But we can't ignore innovation. It's essential for personal growth and career development. For companies, innovation prevents stagnation and losing talent to competitors.

But guess what? Community is the game-changer. Companies need to build networks of innovation champions, connecting those with ideas to those who can help bring them to life. And very often, individuals too.

That's exactly why my friend and I started #OpenDoorInnovation. We wanted to connect corporate innovators with those looking to join the field. It's about networking, learning, and building a supportive community.

You can build this kind of community too. Start by talking about innovation with colleagues and others. Look for people inside and outside your company who share your passion. Every conversation is an opportunity.

I believe ambidextrous innovation is here to stay, and community is how we'll succeed. Let's open doors together, both literally and figuratively.

Who do you innovate with at work?
