How we do customer research today vs in two years?Today: worst case open Yellow Pages, cold call the target group and do interviews.

AI Innovation Sales

⚡ What's pragmatism?In a recent pitch call someone asked me what pragmatism exactly means and my answer wasn't exactly salesy.Let's see if those people become clients 😀My answer was: when I was a child, everybody always said I was lazy. And yes, I didn't do those things I didn't like to do. But:being lazy also forced me to find shortcuts to the finish line.And that is a wonderful skill to have as a Co-Preneur.#innovation #futurepositive #creativity #mindset

⚡ I analysed notes from 50 research calls using chatGPT and NotionAI. This is what I learned about AI-supported research.Since spring 2022 we at Reruption have been doing calls with experts from within corporate innovation functions. The goal was to create a whitepaper on the topic of “Challenges in Corporate Innovation in 2023”.Meanwhile we launched the results as a “dynamic whitepaper” on our website (https://lnkd.in/e6mNxHaK ).To create quantitative results from the qualitative input that our

"AI is exciting, it must be able to solve so many problems, automate tasks - which field can we apply it to?"Bam! Trapped.'Get out of the building!' still applies. Even with AI.#in

Team AI Innovation

⚡ "Google & Microsoft have had huge teams working on AI for a decade or more with essentially unlimited resources.Yet they have delivered… no major breakthroughs.Meanwhile, two startups—OpenAI & Midjourney—created products so mind-bending that it feels like the beginning of a new era.It’s proof that innovation doesn’t correlate with resources. If anything, it’s an inverse relationship." (- https://lnkd.in/exXQCHzp)That's why we're trying to operate as resource-constricted as possible when doing

AI

I just came across this graph in todays The Pioneer newsletter: do you see the obvious mistake in this comparison?Yes: gas can be burned only once compared to a battery that provides "range" over and over again.What they should have done: somehow include the range driven into the water consumption.E.g.:- a battery that drives 200.000km takes 500l of water to be produced = 0.0025l / km driven- a gas car uses 80l of gas for 600km. Producing this gas costs 240l of water. 240l / 600km = 0,4l / km dr
