How Invincible Is Your Company?
Tendayi Viki & Alex Osterwalder
as recording during on 10 May 2021 as part of Innov8rs Connect Unconference.
There has been a significant shift in leadership attitude towards innovation. Leaders now value innovation as their most important driver of growth. But even as leaders have become more interested in innovation, they still struggle to create the right structures and processes within their companies. So how do we fix this gap between aspiration and capabilities?
This is what Alex and Tendayi addressed during this Ask Me Anything session. They illustrated how leaders can manage their portfolios to ensure that their company is innovating beyond the core business, develop the right programs to avoid innovation theatre and create the right culture to support and nurture innovation.
