Podcasts about culture of innovation

“Talking to people from different disciplines pushes your thinking about your assumptions, going out and listening to what other people are doing helps inform the way that you creatively solve the problem that's in front of you. Leaders often are scared by some of these ideas that are coming out of their workforce and that's why they're shutting them down. But if you can demonstrate yourself to be receptive to ideas, then you can help guide a creative future.” Telle Whitney on Electric Ladies Podcast Massive innovation is crucial to meet the scale of the climate crisis, but achieving this is increasingly challenging due to current political and social undercurrents. How can organizations innovate, and how can people within these organizations come together to brainstorm, bringing ideas of their own and improving on others? According to Telle Whitney, innovation must be an intentional, concerted effort that organizations actively adopt. Listen to Telle Whitney, Cofounder of the renowned Anita Borg Institute for Women in Technology & the Grace Hopper Conference – and one of Fast Company's most influential women in technology – on Electric Ladies Podcast. Launching her latest book, Rebooting Tech Culture: How to Ignite Innovation and Build Organizations Where Everyone Can Thrive, Telle joins Joan to discuss how organizations and leaders can cultivate the culture of innovation and creativity so critical to addressing the climate crisis. You'll hear about: The critical role culture plays in driving innovation. Why we must dispel the myth of the "lone genius". Telle's 6Cs for building a culture of innovation. How leaders can encourage courage and risk-taking. Plus, career advice specifically for women in engineering. “To take your career to the next level, learning how to tell your story and what you want is an important skill. [One thing] I probably get from mid-career women more than anything else is the belief that ‘if I do good work, it will be recognised'. That is simply not true. Being able to say, I did this great work, and to be able to tell that to your manager or to the company leader – it is as important as the product development itself.”  Telle Whitney on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

Is your team more afraid of sharing a bad idea or missing out on a great one? In this episode, Mike and Kristen dig into what truly makes a culture innovative - and it's probably not what you think. Most companies claim to value innovation, but few actually design their culture to support it. Through a framework Kristen calls the "Improvation Matrix," they explore how openness to new ideas and commitment to execution create the foundation for genuine innovation. Plus, Mike takes a delightful detour through the Museum of Failure (featuring gems like Colgate Lasagna and Limeade Oreos) to illustrate why embracing failure might be the most important element in fostering creativity. Whether your team is stuck in stagnation, drowning in noise, or trapped in rigid thinking, this episode offers practical strategies to shift your culture toward true innovation.Highlights:Kristen introduces the Improvation Matrix with two axes: openness to new ideas and level of commitmentTeams can exist in four states: Stagnation, Noise, Rigidity, or Innovation depending on their cultureThe "Yes, And" mindset from improv fosters divergent thinking and gives creative ideas room to breatheThe Museum of Failure showcases products like New Coke and Colgate Lasagna as examples of how even successful companies failThree levels of listening: listening to respond, listening to hear, and listening to understandThe Golden State Warriors' "Strength in Numbers" philosophy demonstrates how supporting teammates leads to successIncorporating play at work reduces stress, improves cognitive function, and enhances creativityLinks & Resources Mentioned:Museum of Failure Episode #7: 10 Ways Improv Makes You a Better LeaderGet your FREE 5 Day Leadership Reset Challenge guide here: https://llpod.link/challengePodcast Website: www.loveandleadershippod.comInstagram: @loveleaderpodFollow us on LinkedIn!Kristen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristenbsharkey/ Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-s-364970111/Learn more about Kristen's leadership coaching and facilitation services: http://www.emboldify.com

In this episode of Connected Leadership Bytes, Andy Lopata revisits his conversation with Daniela Landher, a former head of talent engagement at Google and now an executive coach specialising in psychological safety at work. They discuss the importance of embracing failure as a means to foster innovation and growth within organisations. Daniela shares insights on creating psychologically safe environments where employees feel comfortable discussing mistakes without fear of repercussions. The conversation touches on concepts like "fail fests," where teams openly discuss project failures to learn from them, and the idea of "failing fast" to encourage rapid learning and adaptation. Daniela also highlights the role of leadership in showing personal vulnerability and openness about their mistakes, thereby setting the tone for the entire organisation. Andy and Daniela explore how traditional educational systems and corporate cultures often inhibit this mindset, emphasising the need for a cultural shift towards acceptance of failure as a learning opportunity. Key Takeaways: 1. Embracing failure fosters innovation and growth in organisations. 2. Psychological safety is crucial for open discussions about mistakes. 3. "Fail fests" help teams learn collectively from past errors. 4. Leaders should model vulnerability by owning up to their own mistakes. 5. Traditional systems often discourage a healthy approach to failure. 6. A culture that accepts failure as a learning opportunity leads to better organisational outcomes.   SELECTED LINKS FROM THE EPISODE Connect with Andy Lopata: Website | Instagram | LinkedIn | X/Twitter | YouTube Connect with Daniela Landher: Website |LinkedIn | The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring Episode 179 Featuring Daniela Landher

Today, Steve sits down with Duncan Wardle, the former head of innovation and creativity at Disney. Duncan talks to Steve about his current work teaching leaders to embrace creativity and inspire innovation in their teams. He suggests practical ways that leaders can create a more collaborative and fun work culture that will lead to more successful outcomes and enhance their teams' job fulfillment. Key Takeaways: We're all born with creativity, and a great leader can unlock it within people who may have lost it along the way.   Creativity is the ability to have an idea; innovation is the ability to get that idea done.  With AI, we have the opportunity to hand off mundane tasks and give ourselves time to think, be creative, and innovate.  Tune in to hear more about: Why it matters to say “yes, and…” instead of “no, because…”  The impact of AI on creativity and innovation Actions leaders can take to spark more creativity within their organizations Standout Quotes: “I define creativity as the ability to have an idea, and I think we can all do that every day. I define innovation as the ability to get that done. That's the hard part.” - Duncan Wardle  “As leaders, we have responsibilities, we've got quarterly results, we've got bosses, we've got – but if the first two words out of our mouth are ‘no, because,' they're the first two words when somebody comes at us with a new idea, they're not coming back in the door again, and they may have genius next week or next-. Just remind ourselves as leaders, we're not green lighting this idea for execution today. We're merely green housing it together, using ‘Yes, and.' As leaders, if we can use ‘Yes, and' before ‘No, because' you can completely and utterly change your culture.” - Duncan Wardle “Algorithms, and everything that AI will bring to the table, will merge with the human race, creativity, intuition, empathy, imagination, etc, we will merge to become a superhuman race.” - Duncan Wardle Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Innovation is often seen as a function of big ideas and long-term investments, but in today's fast-changing world, organizations must rethink how they approach problem-solving and experimentation. In this episode, I sit down with Shellery Ebron and Annice Kim from RTI International to discuss how one of the world's most respected research organizations is embedding innovation into its culture and operations. RTI International is known for its groundbreaking research in science, health, and public policy. But what sets RTI apart is its commitment to making innovation a core value, not just an occasional initiative. Shellery and Annice share how RTI has shifted its approach, moving away from traditional, multi-year innovation cycles to a more agile, adaptable framework that allows for quicker experimentation and real-world impact. Throughout our conversation, we explore the challenges organizations face when trying to implement innovative ideas. One of the biggest hurdles is inertia—the resistance to change that exists in every industry. Shellery and Annice discuss the importance of storytelling as a tool to overcome resistance, emphasizing that getting buy-in requires painting a vivid picture of the future. Whether talking to business leaders, researchers, or policymakers, framing innovation in a way that speaks to their priorities is key. Another critical aspect of RTI's innovation strategy is breaking down ambitious ideas into smaller, testable projects. Instead of waiting for full funding or a perfect plan, they encourage teams to start with small experiments that confirm key assumptions and build momentum. This step-by-step approach ensures that innovation is not just a one-time effort but a continuous process that drives real change. From embedding innovation into corporate values to fostering a culture where experimentation is encouraged, this episode provides a fascinating look at how RTI International is shaping the future of research and social impact. Whether you're in the public or private sector, there are valuable lessons to be learned from their approach to making innovation a sustainable, organization-wide practice.

Drawing from his rich background in education and leadership, Dave shares insights into the challenges small businesses face, such as breaking revenue ceilings, optimizing operations, and achieving growth. He highlights the importance of fostering innovation through intentional processes, forming dedicated teams, and leveraging data-driven decision-making.

This episode of The Future Built Smarter features Dr. Sam Zolfagharian, president of the AI consulting firm YegaTech, which helps AEC companies adapt to the era of disruption caused by the introduction of artificial intelligence into the industry. A keynote speaker and author of the forthcoming book, “Disrupt It,” Sam also holds a Ph.D. in design computing and construction management and has over 20 years of experience developing technologies for the industry. Of six essential elements AEC companies should focus on when creating an AI strategy, she says the first step is establishing a culture of innovation. “If we can't get the buy-in from our employees, if we don't change their mindset, it doesn't matter which tool we bring on board, it doesn't matter how much investment we do—they're not going to adopt it. “They might be scared of AI taking over their job, or they might just not be interested to try it because they're missing the ‘why' part. So, it's really important to build that culture of innovation.”   Even high-level executives sometimes need enlightenment as to the benefits of using AI to improve processes and outcomes. The day before Sam was to present an AR workshop for a company, a board member shared her skepticism about the usefulness of AI. After the session, however, the board member told Sam she now understood how AI could help their employees and augment their jobs.  “At that moment I wondered how many other executives and board members may have the same mindset because they've been in the industry for a while and are skeptical about technology,” said Sam. “So, I'm hoping that with education we can change that mindset and build that culture of innovation for our industry.”  To learn more about YegaTech and the upcoming book, “Disrupt It,” visit https://yegatech.com/.

Building a culture of innovation requires hiring innovative people, allocating time for innovation, and celebrating failure. Innovation is different from creativity, as it involves forward thinking and pushing boundaries. Balancing the need for innovation with the need for stability is important, with 80-90% of time focused on the core business and 10-20% on innovation. As a team grows, the culture changes, and it's important to be intentional about the vision. Investing in innovation through conferences, think tanks, and exposure to smart people is crucial. Barriers to a culture of innovation include hiring the wrong people and not providing space for innovation. Giving up the good for the great is necessary for innovation. Creating an innovative culture requires strong leadership, collaboration, resources, and a willingness to take risks. Leaders must communicate the vision and create an environment where teams can collaborate in person. Providing resources, including time and money, is essential for innovation. Leaders should be willing to drop a bomb and make quick decisions to maintain momentum. Autonomy and trust are crucial, allowing teams to explore ideas outside of their day-to-day responsibilities. Rewarding or punishing failures is important, and leaders should be willing to fail fast and let go of ideas that aren't working.

At a time when some 92% of the civil legal problems of low-income Americans receive no or inadequate legal help, innovative measures are needed to close the justice gap. Recognizing that, Legal Aid of North Carolina, a program that provides free legal services to low-income people through the state, last year became the first legal services program in the United States to launch an Innovation Lab, devoted to identifying and implementing new solutions for bridging the justice gap.  Development of the lab was initiated by Ashley Campbell, who returned to LANC as its CEO in 2022 after having worked there at the start of her career, and Scheree Gilchrist, a longtime LANC attorney who Campbell named as LANC's first chief innovation officer soon after she became CEO. Also instrumental in creating the lab was Jeffrey M. Kelly, partner at the law firm Nelson Mullins, who now serves as chair of the lab's advisory board.  Campbell, Gilchrist and Kelly are our guests in today's episode. Host Bob Ambrogi interviewed them live last week at the Legal Services Corporation's Innovations in Technology Conference in Charlotte, N.C. The three had just spoken together as part of a panel on creating a culture of innovation in legal services. In this interview, they share their thoughts on that and provide details on the work of the Innovation Lab.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.
