$256 billion* was lost on startups in 2023.
90% of startups fail... but the story behind the data is how a statistically inordinate amount of weak projects are approved for development, where high-value ideas are often missed - these are issues of idea validation and decision-making.
Smart people aren't creative; the billion dollar value is in understanding why.
McKinsey cites: "Over 90% of executives report being unsatisfied with their organisations’ innovation performance"... companies are reportedly better operators than innovators, unable to produce new or creative game changers.
Everyone sees the traffic, few saw the disruption.
Organisations require effective creative skills to design billion dollar solutions.
Leadership require the creative intelligence to validate innovative potential.
Everyone saw cars, few saw ride-sharing as a billion dollar service - the next disruptive innovation could be designed by you.
