Idea to Value - Creativity and Innovation with Nick Skillicorn

In today's episode, we speak with Ray Fleming, the Higher Education Director for Microsoft Australia.

• 00:01:30 - How to connect technology to business purpose
• 00:02:30 - How Satya Nadella joining as Microsoft's CEO completely changed the company culture in the past 5 years
• 00:04:15 - Why having someone from engineering and product development leading the company changed their outlook towards solving new problems
• 00:06:00 - Moving from a company of Know-it-Alls to an organisation of Learn-it-Alls, which allowed Microsoft's team members to take more risks and move faster
• 00:08:15 - When you were an Enterprise Service provider, you couldn't afford to Move Fast and Break Things. However, now Microsoft has changed the way they iteratively release products
• 00:10:00 - How Microsoft put their solutions on other people's platforms because that is what the consumers wanted
• 00:13:15 - What it took for culture to change. One way was to embed continuous learning
• 00:15:15 - How becoming a data-led decision-making organisation allowed them to make the right decisions. This helped to move away from HiPPOs.
• 00:19:00 - How academic models need to change in order to provide skills of the future
• 00:21:00 - To demonstrate the importance of a culture of innovation, start from the top. Have senior leadership communicate what they are doing to continually learn and try new things.

In today's episode, I speak with Duleesha Kulasoorya about how exponential technologies are already changing the way business is done, and how companies will need to adapt in order to survive. Duleesha leads Deloitte's Centre for the Edge practice in Asia, which tries to anticipate what will be important in the future for several industries.

We talk about not only about several case studies of changes have been happening recently, but also how large companies can change their mindset to embrace exponential thinking.

• 00:04:00 - The future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed
• 00:06:00 - How "exponential" is misunderstood
• 00:08:00 - Companies are saying they want to embrace exponential technology, but are not doing enough to change their behavior
• 00:10:15 - Conviction and Courage, and why digital-first companies find it easier to be agile
• 00:13:30 - Zoom out - Zoom In
• 00:15:30 - How Mars (the candy company) is asking what their business model of the future will be
• 00:20:00 - What is an ambidextrous organisation, and how to scale at the edge of your company?

In today's episode of the Idea to Value Podcast, we speak with Harvard Business School's Professor Amy Edmondson about her concept of Psychological Safety.

To read the full article, go to https://www.ideatovalue.com/podc/nickskillicorn/2019/05/podcast-s2e36-amy-edmondson-creating-a-culture-of-psychological-safety/

She is the author of The Fearless Organisation, is the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School, a chair established to support the study of human interactions, and today we talk to her about what makes teams perform at their highest potential, what causes fear of sharing ideas within teams, and how psychological safety can prevent your teams (and company) being disrupted in the marketplace.

• 00:01:30 - How the concept of psychological safety came out of an accident in her original research
• 00:02:30 - Trying to understand why "better" teams would be making MORE mistakes
• 00:04:30 - The misguided concept of what should make one team better than another
  • Do they have the right goals?
  • Do they have the right people to accomplish their tasks?
  • Do they have the resources they need?
  • Do they have access to coaching and support?
  • Are they working in a supportive organisational context?
• 00:07:00 - Why getting "truth" in error data is actually very hard. This data is easy to hide and not report
• 00:08:30 - The problem with corporate cultures which try to avoid giving "bad news"
  • This prevents companies from being able to learn
• 00:10:00 - What psychological safety means, and how leaders can create a climate where it can thrive
  • Psychological Safety is a climate where people believe it is possible, expected and valued, that they speak up with relevant ideas, questions, concerns and even mistakes.
• 00:11:00 - How this context affects the willingness of people to raise ideas
• 00:12:00 - Examples of companies where there was no psychological safety (Volkswagen's Dieselgate scandal and downfall), and a high level of psychological safety (Pixar)
• 00:15:30 - Why building a culture of psychological safety is simple, but not necessarily easy
• 00:18:30 - The importance of asking questions
