Innovation Isn’t Magic. It’s Method

In a recent Ticker News feature on smarter problem-solving, the headline isn’t about big ideas—it’s about structured innovation. For Gehtsoft CEO Ivan Gekht, that resonates deeply.

“Innovation is not a mood. It’s a method—and it must survive pressure.”

The video emphasizes a growing shift: smart companies are moving beyond brainstorm culture and toward disciplined frameworks like TRIZ, root cause analysis, and systemic design. At Gehtsoft, that’s not new. It’s embedded in how we build software.

Here’s how we rethink innovation:

Start with contradiction, not convenience
Use proven inventive frameworks (yes, TRIZ) to attack root complexity
Build prototypes that aren’t just fast—but falsifiable
Let real-world constraints shape the direction—not wishful thinking

In mission-critical software, guesswork kills. What scales is structured creativity—deliberate, methodical, and validated.

That’s not anti-innovation. That’s how you protect it.

Risk Management under Real Velocity: Push Detection Downstream, Limit Blast Radius

I was recently quoted in a TechBullion article on balancing speed and security in business risk management. The core idea was simple: increasing business velocity does not remove the need for risk management. It changes its economics. This is not a technical nuance. It is a decision problem. At higher

AI and the missing first step in learning

What could be the long-term impact of AI on career progression in knowledge work? I saw a post recently asking whether AI will replace junior Scrum Masters. That question itself is not new. But it triggered a realization I had not connected this way before. And it is not very

Code Is No Longer the Bottleneck. Now What?

An advantage that everyone has is not an advantage. Agentic tools handle boilerplate, tests, and even non-trivial features. If your bottleneck was implementation speed, it's gone. Yet Amdahl's Law still applies: the speedup you get from accelerating one part is limited by the parts that don&

AI does not fail because of models. It fails because of governance.

A 2025 BCG analysis cited by Business Insider suggests that only around 5% of companies extract meaningful value from AI investments. The rest experiment, present, and absorb cost. The instinctive explanation is technical immaturity. Models are new. Tooling evolves quickly. Talent is scarce. That explanation is convenient. The DORA 2025
