In the last decade, disruptive innovation has come primarily from startups like Uber, AirBnB, or not legacy companies. But Linda Yates argues that large companies can and should compete with start-ups by creating an internal innovation pipeline.Linda joins Greg to discuss her new book, The Unicorn Within: How Companies Can Create Game-Changing Ventures at Startup Speed, which is a step-by-step guide for leading internal corporate innovation Linda Yates is the Founder and CEO of Mach49, which partners with companies to create their internal pipelines for new ventures and investments. The company helps its clients figure out how to disrupt their own market and innovate within their own industry.   Episode Quotes:Looking at funding like an onion44:26: If you think about Silicon Valley, we look at funding like an onion. Every layer of onion is a layer of risk. It could be a financial risk, technical risk, market risk, or, in the case of a large company, governance risk. You love it to death or you starve of oxygen. And every single internal entrepreneur must build a very rigorous business and execution plan designed to remove the greatest amount of risk on a least amount of capital.15:26: The only way you are going to drive growth that matters and have a financial impact on these large multi-billion dollar multinational public companies is if they can innovate at scale.The importance of understanding customer pain43:36: What's the fundamental underlying principles of what we do? Understand customer pain. Everything you have to do has to be customer driven. We say customer insights are the currency of credibility. Everything else is an uninformed opinion.The fundamental shift that created an existential crisis among large companies09:44: The large companies could be fat, dumb, and happy. They didn't have to innovate with the speed with which they have to do it now because they weren't facing that whole category of competitors, which are these startups fueled with billions of dollars of capital and zero orthodoxies and antibodies coming after them. That's the fundamental shift that has created a little bit of an existential crisis among these large. Show Links:Recommended Resources:Dreamers and Disruptors: How the Evolution of Silicon Valley is Reshaping Our World by Paul HollandOmniBridgeGuest Profile:Professional Profile on Mach49Professional Profile on Forbes | CouncilsLinda Yates on LinkedInHer Work:The Unicorn Within: How Companies Can Create Game-Changing Ventures at Startup Speed

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: A piece in the National Post argues that the focus Western governments have put on combating greenhouse gasses and climate change disaster, without striking a proper geopolitical balance, has lead to China becoming an energy superpower.

Scott speaks with CUPE-OBSCU president Laura Walton for more on that. Dr. Janet Lynn Tomkins, President of the Canadian Dental Association, speaks with Scott about the CDCA's view of the federal government's dental care and whether it meets the needs actually required. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast.

Greg Nicastro directly reported to the CEO of Veracode where he was charted to help the Application Security company build out an "Innovation Factory". This meant a move from traditional data center to cloud/hybrid cloud and a DevOps transformation. As they moved from Monolith to Microservices, Greg recognized the need to manage cloud costs. Greg helped Veracode become an earlier adopter of Cloud Health for Cloud Cost Management. It was a natural transition for Cloud Health to then bring him on as their Chief Product Officer. Greg's mother was a Technology Leader. She told him to get into the "computer business" as he would always have a job - this proved to be true! Greg has a formal technology education. He started his technology career in  Sales - at a time when you needed to be a little more of a "Geek" than you need to be now! He took his technical background and direct experiences with customers to transition to Product Management. In addition to technology skill diversity, he has worked at both multinational organizations as well as started multiple businesses. Greg's passion for technology is clear and today he runs his own Consulting Practice and is an Angel Investor.  Greg has a strong belief that you win as a team and that leadership must not fail to remember that culture actually eats strategy for breakfast.

I use the lens of black organizational life to examine modern Black history, sports history, and intellectual history. My most recent book, Blood, Sweat, and Tears chronicles the development of black college football in the twentieth century, and is among the first comprehensive histories of black college athletics. Using the biography of Alonzo “Jake” Gaither and the history of the football program at Florida A&M University (FAMU), he shows how black college football and its supporters created successful programs during segregation by relying on a network of athletic enthusiasts in the media, on campuses, and in the community.

Il y a un an, nous recevions au micro de Storiavoce Laure Dautriche avec qui nous avons évoqué les liens entre politique et musique. Nous nous sommes arrêtés sur plusieurs grands compositeurs indissociables de leurs temps. Nous souhaiterions aujourd’hui nous pencher plus particulièrement sur l’un d’entre eux, Richard Wagner. Bien connu pour son génie musical, il l'est peut-être moins pour son œuvre en prose profondément antisémite. La question étant de savoir si l'oeuvre de Wagner a été à la racine de l'idéologie nazie. Pour mieux cerner la place du compositeur dans l’idéologie nazie et la pensée du Führer, Fanny Chassain-Pichon croise les parcours des deux hommes. Faut-il donc mettre un cordon sanitaire entre les deux hommes ou au contraire les réunir ? Existe-t-il une troisième voie à ces deux alternatives ? Comment l’un a inspiré l’autre? Fanny Chassain-Pichon est interrogée par Christophe Dickès. L'invitée: Docteure en histoire contemporaine de Paris IV Sorbonne, Fanny Chassain-Pichon a travaillé au Mémorial de la Shoah avant de rejoindre l’association Yahad – In Unum du Père Patrick Desbois en tant que chercheuse, puis l’université Paris Sciences et Lettres. Elle est actuellement responsable éditoriale du programme Game – In Lab de l’Innovation Factory.

"Innovation Factory Accelerates Success" - who doesn't want that!? Incubators and accelerators, like Hamilton's Innovation Factory, are the not so hidden gem that entrepreneurs need to know. In this week's episode, David Carter and Alan Quarry discuss the difference between an accelerator and an incubator, why Canada isn't producing enough "mythical unicorns," and how regional innovation centers need to work together to increase the success rates of startups. The City of Hamilton, often known for its Life Sciences presence, has a significant amount of innovation coming through that stream. But often, when academics and entrepreneurs come up with a brilliant new business idea, they end up thinking one of two ways: "I have this amazing product, so I'll post about it and everyone will buy it. #success"; OR "I have this amazing product, but there are about 85 overwhelming steps between this point and having a viable go to market strategy. I don't know where to start." Whether it's help with marketing strategies, boosting sales, finding investors or raising capital, the Innovation Factory fills in those gaps with workshops, programming and 1-on-1 mentoring. https://innovationfactory.ca/

Han Gerrits weet wat innovatief ondernemen inhoudt. Hij geeft er les over aan de Amsterdamse VU en runde een adviesbureau om bedrijven te helpen vernieuwen. Innovation Factory werd dit jaar verkocht aan KPMG. "Toen de crisis begon in 2009 gingen we ons richten op innovatiesoftware", zegt Gerrits. En daar investeerde hij naar eigen zeggen miljoenen in. "We ontwikkelden een intelligente ideeënbus." De waarde van zijn software is volgens Gerrits dat mensen op elkaar kunnen reageren en een idee van iemand verder kunnen uitwerken tot een beter idee. "Vodafone en Heineken gebruiken onze software."MeedenkenEn medewerkers vinden het leuk om mee te denken, zoder dat ze daar perse voor betaald krijgen. "Mensen willen gezien worden en krijgen graag de titel innovator", zegt Gerrits.Als kers op de taart schreef erkeend onderzoeksbureau Forrester over Innovation Factory. "Toen hingen bedrijven uit binnen- en buitenland, waaronder Boeing, aan de lijn", zegt de ondernemer. "Ik moest snel internationaal gaan."KPMGEn daarom werd Gerrits partner bij KPMG, ondanks de recente negatieve berichten over het bedrijf en de boekhouding. "Nu kan ik Boeing als klant binnenhalen en uitrollen over de hele wereld."  En dat moet in de huidige economie, want kleine bedrijven kunnen ook internationaal opereren met een klein team. "KPMG zoekt ook bewust de samenwerking met kleinere bedrijven op."
