Innovation inside large companies often runs on instinct, scattered pilots, and wishful thinking. Yaron Flint joins us to explain why so many corporates still lack a true playbook — and how a more structured approach can turn chaos into clarity.

Listeners will hear Yaron discuss:

• Why he wrote Innovative Business Development and the gap he saw across global organizations.
• The four pathways for bringing innovation into a company — and why partnership remains the most underused.
• How competitor-to-competitor collaboration can actually accelerate maturity.
• The fragmentation of CVC in Europe and what it takes to build strategy-driven venture programs.

We also explore leadership blind spots, the tension between long-term innovation and short-term markets, the slowdown and reset of the “future of mobility,” and what executives should prioritize as they build the next decade of innovation inside their companies.
