HIQA - Human Innovation Questions Answered

The topic of the episode: Corporate Innovation - How can human innovation change business results?

Questions I answered in the live show:

Because of  covid it is all about saving costs right now in our company. How can I still innovate?

Everyone talks about innovation in our company but all we do are small improvements rather than real innovation. How to change that?

I am a new leader in an organization and responsible for +100 people. How do I motivate people that are long term in the company to innovate themselves?

How could I measure our innovation efforts differently? I am working in finance administration and am responsible for producing the weekly reports. How can we measure innovation?

I don’t have an innovation question but hope you can help me. I am working in a large organization and would like to hire a new person but don’t have the head count. How can I get a new headcount approved?

I am a manager with 5 direct reports, 5k employee company. My manager has no idea how to lead people. He is micromanaging me and the other managers. I am considering leaving the company but want to give it another last try, any idea what I could do?
