The Innovation in Business podcast was born to rewire how SME leaders think about innovation. Through the podcast we explore how even smaller innovations in products or processes and changes in mindset can have a big impact on customers, growing your business. 

I have worked in multiple innovation teams at big companies, including a tech giant seen as some of the world’s most innovative companies. Many people see innovation as something big and scary, something that nobody has ever seen before, however, in my experience it is the smaller things, the little innovations that make your customer’s lives just 1% better. 

Through this podcast, I want to inspire people with the belief that everyone has the capability to do something innovative in business. All you need to get started is the right mindset and a process to channel your creativity.
