Innovation Matters More Eric Steege

2020 was the year that everyone's best plans for innovation, growth, and transformation went out the window. What are the new realities for innovators working in large organizations? How do you move the needle and deliver concrete results when strategies-and customer behaviors-seem to be shifting daily? We invited 25 corporate leaders, executive advisors, and noted academics to take on some of the biggest questions of this tumultuous moment. They include Rita Gunther McGrath of Columbia Business School and Karim Lakhani of Harvard Business School, and leaders with current or recent experience at organizations like Amazon Web Services, LucasFilm, Fidelity Investments, Gensler, UPS, and W. L. Gore. Among the topics they address: - how to make online meetings more human - staying close to customers when you can't be together in person- what has changed in Silicon Valley- how to re-evaluate your innovation portfolio- the most important new metrics for innovation- the tough truths that every corporate innovator needs to face right now- and future directions for mobility, restaurants, and recruiting. Innovation Matters More is a special publication curated by Innovation Leader, the world's foremost authority on innovation, R& D, and strategy in Global 1000-scale organizations.
