In today's episode of the Idea to Value podcast, we speak with Professor Rita McGrath, one of the world's most respected experts on the intersection between strategy and innovation.

See the full episode at https://wp.me/p6pllj-1sJ

One of the interesting points we cover is the concept of Inflection Points in innovation, and the management structures and governance from leadership required for innovation to thrive in a company.

• 00:02:00 - Competitive advantages are no longer sustainable, and innovation is needed to replace these constantly
• 00:03:00 - Resource allocation is really at the core of strategy, and innovation requires these investments as well
• 00:04:30 - Major inflection points (a 10x change) at the time don't look like huge shifts, it is only afterwards that they become apparent
• 00:07:00 - The recipe of previous success is baked into the working practices of a company, but was once true will not always be true
• 00:09:30 - Many leaders can get into their positions without ever touching innovation, which makes them averse of it
• 00:11:30 - Example of leadership choices and decision making from a Virtual Bank
• 00:13:00 - Reducing the risk and fear of failure
• 00:15:30 - How you allocate your innovate portfolio will depend on which industry you are in
• 00:16:30 - Innovation management is something most companies need assistance with
• 00:18:00 - Governance structure and resource allocation is vital. Leaders need to focus 50% of their time on innovation

In today's episode of the Idea to Value Podcast, we speak again with Stephen Shapiro about his new book, Invisible Solutions: 25 Lenses that Reframe and Help Solve Difficult Business Problems

See the full episode at https://wp.me/p6pllj-1so

We go through multiple examples of how companies have achieved innovation success by approaching problems in a new way, enabling them to ask better questions.

• 00:01:30 - How the recent Coronavirus outbreak is changing the way that people work
• 00:04:00 - The importance of asking better questions in innovation
• 00:05:30 - Using different lenses to reframe innovation problems in new ways
• 00:06:45 - The story of Pumps and Pipes: Cardiologists and Gas pipeline engineers who get together to solve problems together, which resulted in filters that fix blood clots in human hearts
• 00:10:30 - How an insurance company learned about improving customer transparency from Dominos Pizza
• 00:11:00 - We usually ask questions which are either too abstract, or too specific
• 00:12:45 - If a question is too specific, you won't look for different ways of approaching the problem, as exemplified by Exxon Valdes Oil Cleanup
• 00:15:00 - Expertise can be the enemy of innovation
• 00:16:00 - What business are we actually in? [Editor's note: Bic made pens first, then expanded to other cheap plastic items like razors and lighters]
• 00:19:00 - Leaders don't need to have the answers, they need to stimulate the organisation to ask the right questions
