Most companies spend huge budgets creating content to get people to sign up to their product. But once a customer signs up, it’s left to a handful of badly written FAQs to help people get the most from the product. It’s no wonder up to 60% of users who sign up for a free trial use a product once and never come back. At Intercom, we believe that providing educational and motivational help content leads to loyal and engaged customers.

Recently I’ve sat through multiple investment committee decisions on new products and new ventures where there was excitement from executives to proceed, but the teams were given some conditions to meet before they could get a yes.

When I think about agile approaches to work, I think about how fast we can change and the cost of those changes. We can change the next decisions about the work because we finish the current work and release it. Multiple deliverables allow us to change what we do and what we plan next. That's why an agile approach with deliverables every day or week doesn't fit with some kinds of projects, such as events.

We are often asked by senior leaders and innovation managers “how do I know if the innovation programs we have are successful?”. In other words: how do we know if these programs will produce long-term growth for our company? While one might be tempted to answer such a question by simply looking at the number of new business ideas that their innovation programs generate, we believe that this question can only be answered by looking at the totality of a company’s innovation ecosystem.
