How can wine businesses innovate while remaining true to tradition?

Jonathan Steyn, convener of the Wine Business Management and Hospitality Leadership program at the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business, offers a way forward, grounded in both practical experience and academic rigour. An expert in market creation and innovation, he addresses everything from overcoming traditional mindsets to navigating global market shifts and connecting with new generations.

He gave lots of practical advice on:

  • How to unlock wine innovation
  • How to bust up silos and get teams to work together
  • The strength of weak ties — why sector cooperation is essential
  • The two faces of innovation: the incremental versus the radical
  • Spotting the Blue Ocean opportunity
  • Marketing to the next generation and the importance of transcendent values
  • Navigating wine consumption cycles
  • The importance of updating the leadership structure
  • and

    • Innovation on a shoestring budget!
