  • What is Innovation?

    In today's VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) world, it can be tempting to avoid innovation due to the fear of failure and the perceived risk of making a catastrophic mistake that could harm our business. However, the real danger lies in not innovating at all. Failing to innovate is equivalent to failing to lead, and despite uncertainty, innovation remains as crucial as ever.



    In this exciting session, Simon and Peter explore the question, "What is Innovation?" They explain the different types of innovation, the innovation process, the importance of having a plan, and the crucial role of the right culture for ideation and problem-solving. We discuss how to create original and commercially viable ideas, the significance of having the right mix of people for success, and how innovation is evolving with exciting technologies like AI.
