Companies—especially those adroit at making excuses—are great at saying the right stuff. One of the more common ones is “We invest in our customers.” Yet the experience customers really receive—headaches, slowness, and systems designed by people who don’t have the faintest idea what a good design is—tells a different story. And when the results of that investment are lampooned, the claim becomes untenable.

Innovation is the best customer investment. It cannot be faked. Not for long. You cannot claim to be innovating when the solutions you offer are wrong.

“There is no right or wrong with innovation” is exactly what those responsible for the bad investment would say to defend the ugliness, the clunkiness, and the circuitous processes. (They usually led the “investment” because they didn’t want to change the way they go about things. Ironic, isn’t it?)

Innovation is a lot like love. You know the right one when you see it. It’s the moment you hold the prototype and you go “yes! this is it!”. It requires no explanation or apology. It is lighter yet more durable. It anticipates rather than reacts. It fnishes a process in fewer clicks. And it is not ugly. (Geez! Look at your storefront. Your website. Your app. Your invoice. Does it pass the eye test?)
