โกย Donโt build walls!Last week I have been in a photography exihibition about the great fence on the Mexican border of the USA. The situation there is absolutely brutal, cruel, inhumane.My key takeaway: building walls not only keeps someone outside, it also keeps the fear and paranoia inside.Today I read a comment in the german newspaper ZEIT about building more fencing around Europe. Thatโs bullshit. It will makes us fall into the same trap as the Americans: we will only foster a culture of fear

Your worst enemy as an innovation lab? Too much budgetInnovation labs create new future business opportunities. Those opportunities are found when thinking outside the box, being creative with little resources and having a sense of urgency.In my experience having too much budget tends to slow this process down and make the results worse:teams get complacent, lack a sense of urgency and do wasteful capital allocation to projects and resources that are not feasible or don't actually create value.L
