For the latest episode of our Innovation Answered podcast, we decided to do something experimental. We're leveraging all of the AI tools that can possibly help us create a podcast episode — and using them to summarize some of our best content from 2024, and also hone in on some of the important dynamics that will impact corporate innovation work in 2025. We deployed ChatGPT, of course, but also Suno, Google's NotebookLM, and ElevenLabs to clone the voices of episode co-hosts Scott Kirsner and Alex Slawsby. (And we comment on and criticize their outputs as we go.)

Since launching InnoLead, Scott has had his finger on the pulse of the latest trends and insights about corporate innovation. In this conversation, Scott shares some key takeaways from their latest research,"The Future of the Innovation Team" including innovators' top challenges: driving revenue growth, increasing agility, and adopting new technologies like AI.

Among the questions that InnoLead CEO Scott Kirsner covers with Seewald: How do you create space for new ideas in a regulated industry? What's your advice on exploring the potential of AI? How do you effectively communicate an internal innovation initiative? How do you deal with all of the legal and compliance colleagues who are very good at saying "no" to new ideas? What he'd do differently if he was starting over at Pfizer. This episode was hosted by Scott Kirsner and edited by David Swope.

"For too long," says Todd Dunn, "many organizations have not developed innovation as a strategic and ongoing source of competitive advantage. Instead, some organizations have used it for reputational points in the public eye, but not to deliver measurable value to consumers, customers and the company." That's a big problem, argues Dunn, who was most recently the Vice President of Enterprise Innovation at Advocate Health. Advocate is headquartered in Charlotte, NC, and it's the fifth biggest nonprofit health system in the US. In this episode, we talk with Dunn about what went wrong in Act 1 of corporate innovation — and what needs to change in Act 2. Our discussion was sparked by Dunn's recent LinkedIn piece, "Innovation: The Driving Force of Competitive Advantage."

We get an inside look at the city's new Innovation Trail, which celebrates the history of innovation in Boston and Cambridge. We talk with Scott Kirsner, Boston Globe contributor and co-designer of the trail and the Broad Institute's Namrata Sengupta.
There's a great quote in David Robertson and Bill Breen's book Brick by Brick, a look inside The LEGO Group. They write, “The most difficult challenge in business is not to invent an innovative product; it's to build an organization that can continually create innovative products.” How companies can become innovative and stay that way is the focus of a special series coming soon from Innovation Answered, the podcast for corporate innovators. We'll be looking at big, established companies like LEGO, Apple, and Disney and asking what makes them so successful decade after decade and how they bounce back from challenges. Is it all about great leadership—or do these companies have a grasp on principles of persistent innovation that other companies can emulate? In today's teaser episode, guest producer Wade Roush talks with InnoLead co-founder Scott Kirsner about where the idea for the miniseries came from and what hypotheses we'll explore as we go along. Look for the first full episode on January 18, 2022. You can also listen to episodes of our Innovation Answered podcast on Stitcher, Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Play Music, and our website. Special thanks to our friends at PatSnap and Innovation Academy for sponsoring this mini-series.

In previous episodes, we've often talked about the concept of celebrating failures as a way of appreciating people's efforts in pursuit of a goal. Scott Kirsner, CEO and Co-Founder of Innovation Leader, challenges that concept today. Scott believes that instead of this optimistic view on failure, we must simply acknowledge it as it is. And just like how athletes and coaches re-watch their previous matches with other teams, we must learn to take failures as lessons, identify the mistakes we've made, and create a better strategy moving forward. In this episode, Scott talks about the lessons he's learned on innovation and leadership as a writer in the tech and business field. He also talks about innovation in Hollywood, how to tell stories that attract early adopters, and how big companies can continue to innovate.

Why do stories matter to the innovation process? What values can be instilled in innovators who share stories? How do innovation leaders inspire creators to tell and share their success and failure stories? We speak with Scott Kirsner, CEO of Innovation Leader, a media and events company focused on Chief Innovation Officers, senior R&D execs, and intrapreneurs at large organizations who are responsible for making change happen. He is also a weekly columnist for the Boston Globe. Find out from Scott why internal storytelling could be the difference between an initiative that is shut down and an initiative that has corporate backing. He also shares how innovation storytelling favors the first teller. Once someone owns a particular story in people's minds, it's very hard for the second player to come along and own that same story; therefore, it’s important to learn how to tell the innovation story best so it sticks in the audience’s minds.

If you follow the digital media sector, you’ve likely noticed that advertising as a business model is on the wane. With the Facebook and Google duopoly sucking up just about all the advertising money flowing online, publishers have been forced to find alternate revenue sources to fund their content.

I recently sat down with one of its cofounders, Scott Kirsner, and asked him about why he settled on such a high price point, how the publication markets to new subscribers, and how it approaches content development.
