In this episode of Breakthrough Innovation, we speak with Sandra D’Ambrosio, Global Transformation Leader at HP and the force behind the wildly successful Insights to Innovation (i2i) program — a grassroots movement empowering HP employees to innovate from within.

Sandra shares what it really takes to build change inside a complex system — not through another training, but by designing a program rooted in human behavior, purpose, and adaptability.

🌱 Why HP stopped "nominating" participants — and started building a waitlist

🎯 How a global program became a leadership metric tied to HP's OKRs

🛠️ What Sandra learned by participating in the program she leads

💬 How to navigate resistance, skepticism, and change fatigue from the ground up

🌍 The future of innovation at HP — and why it’s more human than ever

This one is for execs, L&D leaders, and change agents tired of top-down “innovation theater.” Sandra’s work proves: when you empower people, they build what’s next.
