“Jump Offsite, this is Dev Patnaik with Michelle Loret de Mola, can you hear me...?" In this special episode of the Jump Podcast, recorded live from the Carneros Resort in Napa Valley, California, Dev and Michelle bring the energy from our three unforgettable days together. If you made it out to Napa, consider this a little keepsake from our time together, and if you couldn’t make it, this is a little taste of what you missed! Dev and Michelle share how senior leaders need to get hands-on with AI—and no, you can’t outsource this! They discuss how inclusivity is now a non-negotiable part of business and culture, and explore the idea of leaders as “editors-in-chief,” curating their teams' time and focus. There's a palpable sense of urgency to tackle climate and societal challenges head-on, and a call to step outside—literally and metaphorically—to bring fresh ideas back to the table. Join us next year on our journey to spark action, craft the future we want, and get “out there with the animals”…

As our society pushes for sustainable development, the ancient strategies of the natural world offer a fresh perspective on modern innovation. In this episode, Michelle and Dev dive into the world of biomimicry with Janine Benyus, cofounder of the Biomimicry Institute. The conversation explores how nature’s 3.8 billion years of evolution offer a treasure trove of innovative solutions for modern challenges in sustainability, design, and even social innovation. Janine shares fascinating examples, from using plant chemistry to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables to using bone-inspired algorithms to design lighter and more efficient structures. The discussion also touches on the profound shift needed in corporate and societal mindsets, drawing lessons from nature’s inherent mutualism and enduring partnerships to foster collaboration over competition.
Janine will be joining us at The Jump Offsite in September. Invitations are now closed, but we hope to see you next year!

Friction is a natural part of any organization, but it’s not necessarily a beneficial one. As organizations grow to tackle more complexity, it is important for leaders to identify and minimize unnecessary friction while fostering an environment where productive friction can thrive. In this episode, Michelle and Dev welcome Stanford professor Bob Sutton to explore his latest work, "The Friction Project." Together, they discuss how leaders can effectively manage organizational friction by distinguishing between the friction that hinders progress and the friction that stimulates creativity and innovation. Bob shares fascinating anecdotes and lessons from top companies and his extensive research, providing practical advice on reducing bureaucratic hurdles and promoting a culture of creativity.

Across industries, execs are racing to drive consumer demand. Some are looking to spur enough product innovation to meet their ambitious growth goals. Others are building new loyalty programs that will keep consumers coming back for more. B2B companies are focusing on new sales incentive programs to increase their numbers. But igniting outsize growth isn’t simply about drumming up mass demand. And as the first wave of results come in from these growth initiatives, some leaders are beginning to notice an underlying flaw in their assumptions. And that flaw has massive implications for how large companies think about growth. An age of microtribes may require companies to fundamentally rethink their approach to innovation… “The flood gates are out there.”

This conversation is packed with insights on leadership transitions, the challenges of succession planning in an era marked by boomerang CEOs, and what it means to prepare the next generation of leaders...a duck out of water?
