How do you solve the world's toughest problems? Or find the next big thing in tech? Lots organizations fail to explore and take big bets on new ideas because they can't tolerate the mess of experimentation and the fear of failure. At X, Alphabet's dedicated innovation factory, they don't have that problem, and Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at X, can explain why. Undertaking projects on everything from rural communication to ocean health to machine learning, he and his teams operate with different creative mindsets and decision-making principles than many of us. He spoke with host Alison Beard at HBR at 100: Future of Business live virtual conference.

This study investigated the utility of the current Model Installation Program (MIP) as a tool for managing innovation within the Strategic Air Command and the Air Force. It looks at the central problems facing a program that promotes innovation within the military bureaucracy, and how MIP successfully circumvents certain risk-avoidance mechanisms inherent in the system it seeks to change. One hundred MIP submissions from Fairchild AFB, Washington were sampled. Each of these suggestions was tracked from the initial submission through final disposition. Results were tabulated and compared to program objectives, and shortfalls were explored via review of MIP procedures. The study concluded that the program is achieving its objectives in a manner unparalleled in Air Force history. MIP provides a fair evaluation and quick test of promising ideas-- even in the face of failure. However, it was noted that some changes could be made to improve participation, standardize procedures, and provide more insight into the disapproval process to facilitate more extensive analysis of program success. Four recommendations were formulated by the author based on the findings of the study.

Reid Hoffman is one of the most prominent and recognizable voices in Silicon Valley, and after predicting some of the biggest trends that have shaped our world in the last 25 years, he is sharing his thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence. In this interview with HBR Editor in Chief Adi Ignatius, Hoffman shares his approach to managing technological change and innovation, explains why he thinks generative AI won't destroy jobs, and imagines how these new tools will transform our world. Spoiler: It's all about managing technological change and innovation the right way. Previously, Hoffman founded or co-founded PayPal, Inflection AI, and LinkedIn, where he served as CEO and is now its executive chairman. He's also an active early-stage investor at Greylock Partners, host of the Masters of Scale and Possible podcasts, and author of the forthcoming book Superagency.

This report reviews a joint attempt of the United States Forest Service and the Naval Service to enhance the utilization of research results and the new technologies through improved effectiveness of technology transfer efforts. It consists of an introduction by J. W. Creighton and seven papers: (1) "Management for Change" by P. A. Philips (discussing techniques in managing innovative people); (2) "A Focus on the Future" by Ross Whaley (offering application possibilities of the principles of economics to effective management of resources); (3) "Getting More Done With Less" by Richard Fay (with suggestions for increasing productivity despite decreased resources); (4) "Potential Contributions of Education to Technology Transfer" by Arthur Wilcox (identifying the university's role and impact on technology); (5) "Emerging Innovations: Consideration for Implementation" by Stan Krugman and J. W. Creighton (explaining the misconceptions associated with biotechnology with emphasis on genetic engineering); (6) "Matching Technology to Customers' Needs" by Bob Frankenberg (offering perspectives from the private sector); and (7) "Technology Transfer for Enhanced Research Development Testing and Evaluation Effectiveness" by Milon Essoglou (providing a case history and model of a management approach).

Innovations in educational organizations have not received the same attention as those in business organizations. To flourish at a school-organization level, and be replicated in other institutions, the mechanisms that sustain and encourage innovations must be understood clearly. A study examined innovations adopted at four schools to uncover the system and processes conducive to their sustenance. The four schools identified use a range of innovations in the areas of pedagogy, curriculum, evaluation, administration, and resource mobilization. Findings indicate the important role of leadership, particularly during formative stages. Openness in vertical and horizontal communication and establishing a wide network appeared to be critical in later stages of program implementation. The innovative schools developed effective systems for monitoring, mobilizing community support, establishing procedures for teachers' training, and instituting participative systems of management. The findings indicate that innovations do not have to be resource intensive and involve exceptional individuals, but require sustained effort. Implications for management of innovations in schools and directions for future research are examined. (Contains 72 references.) (TEJ)

This book provides an in-depth study of the management of standards and regulation in sustainable and radical innovation development. It considers the case of micro Combined Heat and Power (mCHP) technology. The developers of this radical innovation in the European heating sector encountered major conflicts when attempting to create or adapt standards when bringing the technology to market. Utilising rich research data and interviews with key actors, the author uses this case to derive a grounded theory on the management of standards and regulation during an innovation process. The results also have important implications for innovators, which are reflected in clear advice for practice.
