Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week on the What's Next! Podcast, I'm bringing back a conversation with Tendayi Viki that I think is extremely valuable to re-listen to from time to time.    If you don't know Tendayi, he's an academic, the co-designer of Pearson's Product Lifecycle, which won the Best Innovation Program 2015 at the corporate Entrepreneur Awards in New York, and is on the shortlist for the Thinkers 50 Innovation Award. He's also a contributing writer for Forbes and is the author of The Corporate Startup: How Established Companies Can Create Successful Innovation Ecosystems.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… bigger companies who want to act like a startup.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… to act small, companies must first think about their innovation ambition.      The first step is to create an innovation thesis and understand your minimum viable ecosystem – maybe that means conducting a small workshop instead of jumping straight into a 2-day event. Second, become clear about key trends.  Ask, who do we want to innovate for? Then, run through problems and challenges that could make life easier for your customer. Throughout the process, always measure everything against this question: Is this aligned with our innovation thesis?     As Tendayi says, “Figure out whether or not you have the right solution and then figure out whether or not you have the right business model.”    WHAT I LOVE MOST… a reoccurring theme has swept over the podcast: embrace non-traditional diversity. Make sure the middle management, legal, and the MBAs are involved; build teams with diverse thinking styles; and get out of the ordinary environment to be creative.     Diverse teams create creative tension and avoid internal silos – all good things.     Running Time: 34:37   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani Online: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Tendayi Online: Website  LinkedIn  Twitter    Tendayi's Book:  The Corporate Startup

Today, we learn how his path began in Zimbabwe, and how his journey took him to the UK and Stanford University, where he caught the innovation bug.

But the truth is, especially in a corporate context, that innovation thrives through collaboration across functions. He also argues that anything that involves creativity or bringing something new into the world will consist of a hit-and-miss process. But that process can also be systematic.  Tendayi believes we are surrounded by the secrets to repeatable innovation success everywhere we look.

Tendayi Viki likes to say that innovation is just about management, but it's a different kind of management than business leaders are probably used to, which is why many of them need help with the process. That's why they call Tendayi, an Associate Partner at Strategyzer and the author of the book Pirates In The Navy, The Corporate Startup and The Lean Product Lifecycle and his specialty is helping large companies innovate for the future.  On this episode of Future of Tech, Tendayi breaks down what the future of innovation looks like and he explains why innovation starts at the top with a leader who is willing to do things a little differently. Tendayi says that leaders who want to bring innovation into their organization need to be comfortable not knowing which bets will be the winners and instead find a way to create an environment where winning ideas can emerge on their own and prove themselves as worthy of investment. Tendayi also gives a warning about intrapreneurship and explains why the No. 1 thing you have to look for in an intrapreneur is not how creative or brilliant they are, but how well they can form relationships. And,  he reveals the four key questions that innovation needs to be asking if they want to have any chance of success. Enjoy this episode! Main Takeaways: It Starts At The Top: More often than not, the biggest problem with driving innovation comes from a lack of leadership. When leaders lean on the same tools, behaviors and metrics they use to run their business in order to drive innovation, they will fail because innovation takes a different kind of approach to get right. Leaders have to set forth an innovation strategy that fosters creativity and encourages employees to think and work differently. Small Bets: When you are looking to foster innovation, you have to make a lot of small bets not knowing which ones will pay off. Give a lot of people a lot of runway to experiment and prove their ideas, and then when one or two emerge as real contenders with measurable impact and ROI, invest big in those and cut your losses on the others. Then start the process again. The Core Four: Innovation teams need to focus on four key areas: desirability, feasibility, viability, and adaptability. They need to constantly ask, does anyone want this? Do we have the capability of making this? Can we make this in a profitable way? Can this idea scale? --- Future of Tech is brought to you by Amdocs Tech.

Jeff and Tendayi dive into the role of the “intrapreneur” within organizations, and the ways in which their ideas and innovations can gain greater traction with key organizational decision-makers. Tendayi talks about how “raising the pirate flag” can lead to great things. But, for innovation to succeed, it often requires layers of buy-in from executives and heavy collaboration. Jeff and Tendayi discuss the importance of asking the right questions at the right time, and key ways innovation teams can benefit from some degree of separation from the core business, without becoming isolated.

Tendayi shares how his path to thought leadership involved leaving Zimbabwe for the UK and teaching forensic psychology before transitioning to social psychology. We discuss how Alexander Osterwalder created Strategyzer and how the platform was designed to deliver consistent results for clients by well-trained consultants allowing the model to be scalable and consultants to create plug-ins that add to and modify the platform. Tendayi and Peter discuss the danger of the personality of a thought leader is a cliff that can be hard to climb and how if used properly you can instead be a platform to raise up others. We wrap up our conversation discussing the changes Strategyzer went through to flourish during the COVID-19 pandemic. After the initial panic that everyone felt they quickly transitioned their offerings to digital formats, creating high-level engaging content that presented the same value. Three Key Takeaways: When creating a platform for your thought leadership is sure the content is scalable and deliverable by others. If your thought leadership is only based on your personality you risk overshadowing your own content. When creating virtual content you need to find ways for your thought leadership to deliver the same value you present in person.

Faced with the choice of starting a company or joining a large corporation, Steve Jobs believed that it was 'more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy'. But for innovators inside established companies, making a distinction between being a pirate and joining the navy is a fallacy. We have to figure out a way to become pirates in the navy! There is nothing harder in business than trying to innovate within large corporations. Innovators in big companies often face internal opposition as well as their external competitors. It is the management of the core business that tends to get in the way of innovation. If you work in corporate innovation, if you run an innovation lab or work in one, if you are a pirate I'm the navy, there is so much in this episode, there are some hard truths to face, some butter pills to swallow, I certainly know I've made some of the mistakes our guest identifies.

Today I am joined by Tendayi Viki, an Associate Partner at Strategyzer. He’s also the best-selling author of the new book, Pirates In The Navy: How Innovators Lead Transformation. In our conversation, we discuss what it takes to create a culture of innovation in established conversations and the role product leaders play in driving that process. We also discuss the differences between doing real progress vs. innovation theatre, the signs innovators should look for to know whether innovation has potential at their company, or, if they should look for another job. If you’re trying to drive innovation forward in your company don’t miss out on this insightful discussion!   Episode Details: Product Leaders are often Pirates in the Navy with Tendayi Viki: “Even large companies need to be able to innovate. And in order for them to innovate, they have to adopt start-up practices.” — Tendayi Viki   About Tendayi Viki: Tendayi is an Associate Partner at Strategyzer where he helps large companies innovate for the future while running their core business.

If this is the case, you should find another place to work. 2) You have decided to do the wrong thing first. If you are arguing with the leaders in your organization that are not early adopters of the innovation, it won’t work. In most organizations, there are always at least a few leaders who really “get it.” You need to identify those early adopters and work with those people first. If you work with them first, you’ll be able to do one of the most important things in a transformation: get an early win.

A focused and passionate commitment to innovation has to be one of the prevailing themes that drives all businesses. If you fail to continually focus on genuine innovation – in your creative thinking, in your people, your processes, your products; over time in the inevitable will come to pass – declining revenues, irrelevant products, disillusioned employees and leaders, frustrated shareholders. It's ironic then that something that is so critical to business is also so misinterpreted, misunderstood and so often misaligned with the businesses it is there to serve. This week, The New P&L – Principles & Leadership in Business podcast series speaks to the innovation powerhouse that is Tendayi Viki. Author of ‘Pirates in the Navy' and Associate Partner at Strategyzer, Tendayi has helped some of the biggest and most successful global brands to reinvigorate and realign the principles that define their corporate innovation. We discuss with Tendayi how to address the issue that many corporate innovation labs are not fit for purpose when it comes to the demands placed upon them; how you can determine a company's true commitment to innovation by the reporting structure that exists between the Lab and the CEO; and how unspoken expectations and assumptions within senior management about both the role and the output of a corporate innovation lab can set it up for failure before it has even begun. www.strategyzer.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/principlesandleadership/message

LendingTree's Tendayi Kapfidze on the nation's home buying trends

In today's HousingWire Daily interview, features Tendayi Kapfidze, LendingTree's chief economist, discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the nation's home buying trends.Here is a small preview of the interview with Kapfidze. The transcript below has been lightly edited for length and clarity.Q: The COVID-19 pandemic has left millions of Americans financially strained as unemployment rates have climbed and job markets have shrunken. What are some impacts you've been following?Tendayi Kapfidze: Around 40 million or so Americans lost their jobs or had a negative shock to their income, and as of the most recent data, there are around 20 million Americans who are still receiving some form of income support in terms of the various unemployment benefits that are out there. So, a lot of Americans are really under a significant financial strain. And, for many who had hoped their jobs would be coming back after a few months, that's not turning out to be the case. A lot of the job losses that we saw in March, April and May, are what are called temporary job losses, which means that the person who loses their job expects to get their job back within, say, six months or so. Now, even though we're seeing fewer job losses, a lot of those original jobs didn't come back and people that are losing jobs now are enduring what is called permanent job losses. So, we've seen a transition from temporary to permanent job losses. And that means a weak economy, going forward.Q: According to LendingTree, 46% of those who responded to its survey indicated they were thinking about relocating within the next year. Of this total, 27% said they wanted to move to a new place in their current market, while 12% said they wanted to move to another city and 8% said they wanted to move to a new state entirely. Why are some homebuyers either choosing to remain at home or relocate to a different market?Tendayi Kapfidze: There are a variety of reasons. For some, it's now realizing that maybe they need more space at home, especially if they're working from home and their kids are in remote school. The home may not offer enough space for everybody to do their work without interruptions from the rest of the family.A lot of home buyers or home seekers, even people who are renting are looking for more space for activities they're not doing at home. I think even after this health crisis is over, a lot of these work from home policies are going to remain. So, you know, it's a long-run view that people are probably going to need more space at home.The Daily Download examines the most compelling articles reported from the HousingWire newsroom.

If you're wondering how you can find time from everyday business operations to do innovation, today's guest, Tendayi Viki, is the guy you want to listen to. He's an award winning author and corporate innovation expert. He's also been recognised by Thinkers50 as one of the world's foremost business strategic thinkers, and he's the author of three books, the latest of which is Pirates In The Navy. Tendayi's biggest bugbear is innovation theatre, those companies that look like they're doing innovation, but aren't, and so he shares his thoughts on how to innovate properly. What you don't need, says Tendayi, is an entrepreneur in residence. Having a startup mindset doesn't require you to actually employ a startup founder, nor do you need to install ping pong tables either. What you actually need, if you're going to innovate, if you're going to come up with another big idea that's going to drive the revenue of your business in the long term, is to figure out how to structure it, how to staff it and how to measure its success. So to find out how to innovate in your business, because let's face it, any business that stands still gets left behind, download and listen to this latest episode. It's a great conversation. On today's podcast:Why businesses suck at innovationHow to become a pirateCorporate intrapreneursWhy you don't want startup innovation theatre The metrics to measure innovationThe companies doing innovation wellHow to spot core business troublesLinks:The Corporate StartupThe Lean Product LifecyclePirates In The Navy

Innovation Theater.    Have you ever been guilty of performing innovation theater?   My guest today, Tendayi Viki, is a partner at Strategyzer (the company behind the business model canvas and other innovation tools) and defines Innovation Theater simply as:   ACTIVITIES THAT LOOK LIKE INNOVATION BUT THAT CREATE NO VALUE FOR COMPANIES   So: A workshop that creates enthusiasm with no follow up. A Hackathon that doesn't solve real challenges. Training everyone in Design Thinking but changing no internal policies to encourage experimentation and prototyping.   I've been guilty of it.    How can we all do better? This is a delicate topic, because it's not wrong to want more people in your organization to “get” innovation and the practices that drive innovation.

This week’s guest, Tendayi Viki, is an Associate Partner at Strategyzer. A prolific author, he has written three books and is a regular contributor to Forbes magazine. His most recent book, Pirates in the Navy: How Innovators Lead Transformation, is a manifesto on how to drive corporate innovation in large organisations. He and Barry O’Reilly chat about how he helped organizations drive and scale innovation, including key unlearning moments along the way.   Good Enough Is Better Than Perfect In an interesting twist of fate, Tendayi ended up in Stanford’s Graduate School of Business under the tutelage and mentorship of innovators like Steve Blank. He says that this was the turning point for him to converge his psychology training with entrepreneurship and innovation. He recounts two major unlearning moments, the major one of which was his tendency to over-edit. Barry describes this as a classic trap: we want our product to be perfect before we publish, but the better approach is to make it good enough, put it out there and start the conversation. In the academic world, Tendayi points out, your ideas evolve in private; but the innovation world is the opposite as your ideas evolve in public. This makes you vulnerable and takes courage, but the feedback you receive makes your product better. Earn the Right to Criticize You have to earn the right to criticize, according to Tendayi. People will only follow you when they see you as a partner on their journey, when they feel that you understand their struggle and have their best interests at heart. Helping Successful Ideas Evolve There’s no way to tell which of your ideas will succeed, so invest in many ideas and see which ones pan out. Tendayi remarks, “The fundamental theory of innovation is the theory of an entrepreneurship ecosystem… and in that ecosystem the evolution of successful ideas is actually pretty random. We don't know what's going to succeed and what’s not going to succeed. What we do is just throw things at the wall: we invest in a whole bunch of stuff and then we see what succeeds and what fails.” He emphasizes that you cannot choose winning ideas yourself on day one. He tells leaders that they have to provide the context for the best ideas to bubble up. Double down once you see what works. Coaching the Team Training is not enough: build organizational habits that allow the training to become a repeatable process within your organization. Tendayi explains why he uses this approach when working with large organizations. Coaching the team - both the leaders and employees - involves helping them incorporate this new mindset into their daily routine. Leaders in particular need to be deliberate about what they say and the questions they ask. Their questions should help to bring out the best in the team. What Lean Startup Is Not Lean startup is not a way to make any idea you have work. In fact, the majority of times it will tell you what doesn’t work. “What lean startup does is it allows you to find things that don't work, quicker and cheaper, so you can stop working on that stuff and double down on the things that work,” Tendayi says. He shares practical tips for incorporating the lean startup culture into a large organization, including creating artificial scarcity, which instills the discipline of focusing on what you need to do to be successful. Looking Ahead Tendayi is working on completing ongoing projects, including the Insight Strategyzer tool and a new book entitled Right Question Right Time. His next step, he says, is to return to his academic roots to research the psychology of uncomplacency. Resources TendayiViki.com Pirates In The Navy: How Innovators Lead Transformation

One of the comments that stood out for me in this episodes was, “it is that it is better to be lucky than to be smart.” I suspect that Tendayi love of this quote is driven by his observation that the moment you start winning, you start losing.It is insights like these that make Tendayi one of my favourite innovation thinkers.Another example is his observation that disruptors are not rebels without a cause. They are people who set out to create value in a specific way, and along the journey, they learned that in order to create the value they wish to create, they need to change the sector or system. Disruption is never really the main goal. It is a consequence of trying to change the world.Tendayi spends his days supporting disruptors. The fundamental questions that seem to guide him how might we:Create the right environment to support innovation?What are the right tools for supporting innovation?How do we make the right investment?What is the right decision making frameworks?How can managers ask the right questions at the right time?I love questions. If people were better at asking questions we would see more innovation. Too often our organizational structures stifle innovation and pull disruptors way from the things they should be focused on if they are to generate innovation.Throughout this episode, we explore several aspects of disruption and disruptive conversations. One example that stood out for me was the challenge of creating a sense of urgency among managers. Especially among managers who are well paid and sit in the leading positions of successful companies. For Tendayi, innovation is about doing finding new things to succeed at. Convincing managers that the bridge is burning before it starts burning is a difficult task. It is what I call a disruptive conversation and it takes great skill to navigate these conversations. Managers need to help create the conditions for innovation.  Tendayi offers another insightful when he explains that he does not make a distinction between an entrepreneur and intrapreneur. For him, innovation and disruption succeed when you create value and there are people out there in the world who are willing to pay for that value. This value creation can come from an entrepreneur or an intrapreneur. The goal is to create value for others.  I hope you enjoy this episode with Tendayi Viki.Links:http://www.tendayiviki.com/
