                Now more than ever, the responsibility for innovation rests on everyone’s shoulders within the organization. This episode will look at shifting accountability for innovation out of the hands of the select few, to build a unified, idea-driven employee base that delivers more ideas in a shorter amount of time.

                Guest: Carla Johnson, Author & Innovation Strategist

                Guest Bio: Carla Johnson is a world-renowned storyteller, speaker, and prolific author. Consistently named one of the top influencers in B2B, digital and content marketing, Carla regularly challenges conventional thinking. Today, she travels the world teaching anyone (and everyone) how to cultivate idea-driven teams that breed unstoppable creativity and game-changing innovation. Her work with Fortune 500 brands served as the foundation for many of her books. Her tenth, RE:Think Innovation busts the myth that innovation is something that requires a specific degree or special training. in fact, Carla explains why, to be a successful company in today's hyper-competitive, customer-driven world, innovation must be everyone's business. Her goal is to teach one million people how to become innovators by 2025.

                Key Takeaways

                • Companies that struggle with innovation lack a clear organizational purpose.
                • You need to be able to create space for innovation to happen within your organization.
                • Innovation is inefficient, it often involves failure.
                • Great innovation makes others jealous they didn't come up with that idea. 
                • Carla shared her remarkable 5-step formula that anyone can follow to use inspiration from the world around you.

                • Ep.3 The Future of Digital R&D - Improving the Innovation Process with AI

                  Today we’re welcoming Kevin See, Vice President of Research for Lux Research, a leading provider of tech-enabled research and advisory solutions, helping their clients achieve growth through technology innovation. In his role as VP, Research, Kevin leads the digital research team, focused on the emergence of digital technologies and applications in use cases ranging from Industry 4.0 to digital health and the future consumer. Here, he leads a team of analysts, sets content and go to market strategy, and supports strategic initiatives of clients. During his career at Lux, he has served as an analyst and managed multiple teams in the renewable energy space before launching research areas in AI, robotics, sensors, and the Internet of Things, ultimately leading to managing a broader research program around Digital Transformation.

                  Key Moments From Kevin See's Interview

                  -The impact of AI is being felt in the later stages of the innovation funnel.

                  - Some large corporations are experimenting with topic modeling and NPL in the front end of the lifecycle, primarily in the drug discovery space; but overall, covid-19 hasn’t really been an accelerant of digital R&D.

                  -Data science is finding a foothold in the manufacturing sector, supply chain, and in the CPG world where AI is being used to better understand customers and those insights are trickling back into the innovation flow.

                  - The vast majority of companies are not well-positioned to leverage the amount of data they have.

                  - The smartest approach is to pinpoint the problem you want AI to solve, and to look for small wins first, "nail it before you scale it."
