Everyone has their own preferred way to get around websites. I can't satisfy everyone. But I can point out what's where:

Site organization

Many ways to get around

You can

  • see all topics
  • access topics individually by their tag (linked below)
  • on desktops, see my most recent writing for top-level topics via the topic index (left side of homepage)

Each post's title also starts with a clarifier of what it is (e.g., "[Case study] ...").

Overall organizing structure

Most posts are simply on the home page.

💡
But wait, there's more:

There is also special, secret sections of posts that you won't find on the home page (hidden, shhhh!).

In those sections, I discuss how to apply the ideas of Credible Innovation in specific settings:

- If you need to deliver business operations even amid great change and chaos, check out the section on "Sane Ops".
- If you are an executive who has been frustrated by the broken productivity promises of all the AI and other new-fangled tech, read on at "Next-Gen Exec". There, I try out and recommend non-stupid automation for tech-curious executives.

These topics are just a bit too different to mix them in among the other posts. And so they have their own place.

In the future, Sane Ops and Next-Gen Exec might have their own blogs. For now, they're just their own sections here.

On to my regular posts.

Here is how I organized my regular Credible Innovation posts.

  • Method (orange tags) – The Credible Innovation framework and related explanations
    • Framework – The core logic that forms the spine of Credible Innovation
    • Blog & essays – Commentary on the method and its nuances
    • Examples – How the method shows up in the real world, e.g., in case studies
    • Discussion – Open questions for your input and conversations with other nerds
    • Book – To come. Hold tight
  • Tools (magenta tags) – Practical frameworks, templates, and how-to guides
    • For doers – Templates, how-to-guides, and more for use in venture creation work
    • For leaders – Guiding rules and (over time) more sophisticated ways to lead innovation teams and manage portfolios
    • For startups – Tools for applying the concepts of Credible Innovation in startup settings
  • News (grey tags) – The latest, as I track it. Timely content, obviously. Collected from whenever I find news related to Credible Innovation
  • Resources (blue tags) – References, recommendations, and tips
  • Kit (black tags) – To come. Hold tight
