In this episode of Breakthrough Innovation, we talk with Bruno Pešec, strategist, author, and creator of Playing Lean. Bruno helps companies make innovation real, not just performative — and he isn’t afraid to call out the “innovation theater” most leaders accidentally create.
🔥 How to spot when innovation is just for PR (and what to do instead)
📉 Why training employees to innovate is pointless without systems to support them
🎯 How to fund innovation without losing control (or your CFO's trust)
💥 The “cruelty of good intentions” most leaders don’t realize they’re doing
🧠 Why translating business goals into tangible problems is every leader’s job
If you're serious about aligning strategy, experimentation, and execution — this conversation is for you.
