Finding the Value in Iteration, Not Innovation

I have a vitriolic reaction to the word innovation. I’ve actively tried to scrub it from my vocabulary. I am also that painful colleague who raises an eyebrow when I hear the word—or even worse—forces the issue in discussion to really understand if we’re using the word correctly. There’s this expectation in the corporate world that innovation is the Holy Grail—the one and only path—but when you look at what actually happens in corporate land, innovation is scarce to be found.

Transforming Farming in Rural Africa

Profound change is sweeping across the grasslands and vast expanses of the East African savanna. Here, amid the verdant valleys and hillsides rippling through this sea of grass, small farmers have struggled for millennia to eke out a living from the sun-baked soils. But now, with the help of an ecosystem powered by cloud technology, new hope and opportunity are coming to one of the poorest regions, per capita, on earth. It’s an alliance that connects hundreds of thousands of small farmers with an infrastructure that can support applications developed by Intelipro, a software company based in Kenya, to help farmers develop their agricultural practices, access financial resources, sales, and most importantly, improve quality of life for them and their children.
