Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week I want to revisit an insightful conversation about invitation with Dr. Linda Hill. Dr. Linda Hill is the Wallace Brett Dohm Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School and the chair of the Leadership Initiative. She is regarded as one of the top experts on leadership and is the co-author of Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation and Being the Boss. Dr. Hill is also the co-founder of Paradox Strategies and the co-creator of the Innovation Quotient. She was named by Thinkers50 as one of the top 10 management thinkers in the world in 2013 and received the Thinkers50 Innovation Award in 2015. Her TED Talk, How to Manage Our Collective Creativity, has gotten more than 2 million views. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders and aspiring innovators. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… there is a misconception about leadership and leading innovation. Leadership is communicating a vision and inspiring others to fulfill that vision. Leading innovation is about creating an environment for people to be willing to go down that innovation path with you. The innovation path is paved with a greater purpose to do the hard, emotional, and intellectual work of innovating. According to Dr. Hill, here are the 3 things we know about innovation: 1. Innovations are not the result of individuals having ‘aha' moments but are a result of a diverse collaboration of people. 2. You cannot plan an innovation; it's a messy process of discovery riddled with error. 3. Innovations are a combination of ideas. If you want to lead and inspire innovation, you must have a culture where people are willing to get their hands dirty but also feel like they are part of the process. WHAT I LOVE MOST… this episode is a crash course in how to be a leader and lead change when you are trying to drive innovation. Yes, leading change is different from leading innovation - it's about creating an environment to let people co-create with you. Simply, let yourself breathe and give yourself and your team time to try things. Finally, I love Dr. Hill's idea that innovation is a voluntary act…a bottom-up journey and not the other way around.

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week we journey into the unknown with innovation researcher Nathan Furr and entrepreneur Susannah Furr, who navigate us through the fear and stress of uncertainty to find the creative opportunity on the other side. Nathan Furr is a professor of strategy and innovation at INSEAD in Paris and an expert in the fields of innovation and technology strategy. His bestselling books include The Innovator's Method and Innovation Capital. Published regularly in Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, Forbes and Inc., he is an Innosight Fellow, has been nominated for the Thinkers50 Innovation Award, and works with leading companies including Google, Microsoft, Citi, ING, and Philips. Susannah Harmon Furr is an entrepreneur, designer, art historian, and contrarian. Her clothing line was inspired by her research into the intricate embroidery Dutch women painstakingly rendered on their plain uniforms—details often invisible to all but the wearer—and its significance in their daily lives. She has also founded a design services firm. Nathan and Susannah are the parents of four teenagers. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… individuals who want to break away from the stresses of uncertainty to overcome their fears, adopt innovations, imagine the possibilities, set out on new adventures, and ultimately, embrace change. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… we are hard-wired to love the idea of control, but we have to accept that some things are outside of our control. For those who shy away from willingly bringing uncertainty into their lives, they recommend implementing “balancers” to create a sense of familiarity in your day to day life. The sense of security that comes from having a few routine choices - like standard lunches or outfits - can help keep us relatively stable when uncertainty creeps into our lives (or when we are ready to introduce it ourselves!). WHAT I LOVE MOST… Nathan and Susannah have a starry-eyed optimism for the future, not because they know that everything is going to work out in the end, but because they know they will be able to handle it when something inevitably goes wrong. So they choose to imagine the best possible outcome for the future, while simultaneously creating a plan to manage their risk tolerance and address the worst case scenario.

It's essentially going from the old notion of sustainability, which was all about doing less harm, to doing more consciously, to have a more positive impact on the environment, but also the society."-Navi Radjou__________________________________________________________________________________________Episode Timeline:00:00—Introducing Navi Radjou + The topic of today's episode2:13—If you really know me, you know that...2:43—What is your definition of strategy?6:15—The 'Y' shaped recovery vs. 'V' shaped recovery path11:46—Is technology and crowdsourcing creating a drive for a multi-stakeholder approach?14:48—Digging into the "Regenerative Economy" concept17:31—The concept of "Frugal Innovation"19:36—What should strategists do now? __________________________________________________________________________________________
Although a “Big Event” disruption like the pandemic has presented brings extraordinary challenges, it also offer unique opportunity. As some of our former guests have discussed, times like these force leaders to take daring steps to ensure near-term survival and long-term sustainability and growth. According to the recent study, “Building Resilience & Maintaining Innovation in a Hybrid World,” productivity has remained stable or even increased for many companies that shifted to remote work in response to the coronavirus pandemic. However, innovation has taken a hit as both leaders and team members feel more distant from each other. Video meetings, instant messaging and texting can't wholeheartedly duplicate the subtleties of being together in the same meeting room - - - brainstorming, discussing strategies and building off of the energy and enthusiasm of one another. Big event disruptions demand that leaders find a new way to liberate and tap into the innovation potential that exists inside their own organizations. In the new book “Eat, Sleep, Innovate”, innovation expert Scott Anthony and his coauthors use groundbreaking research in behavioral science to provide a first-of-its-kind playbook for empowering individuals and teams to be their most curious and creative innovative thinking—every single day. Scott is a Senior Partner at Innosight and former Managing Partner of the firm. Based in the firm's Singapore offices since 2010, he has led Innosight's expansion into the Asia-Pacific region as well as its venture capital activities (Innosight Ventures). In his more than a decade with Innosight, Scott has advised senior leaders in companies such as Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Singtel, Kraft, General Electric, LG, the Ayala Group, and Cisco Systems on topics of growth and innovation. He has extensive experience in emerging markets, particularly in India, China, and the Philippines. In 2019, Scott was recognized as the #9 most influential management thinker by Thinkers50, a biannual ranking of global business thinkers. In 2017, he was awarded the Thinkers50 Innovation Award, which recognizes the world's leading thinker on innovation.

Tendayi Viki: Pirates in the Navy Tendayi Viki is an author, innovation consultant, and Associate Partner at Strategyzer, helping large organizations innovate for the future while managing their core business. He has been shortlisted for the Thinkers50 Innovation Award and was named on the Thinkers50 Radar List for emerging management thinkers to watch. He's written three books based on his research and consulting experience, Pirates In The Navy*, The Corporate Startup* and The Lean Product Lifecycle*. The Corporate Startup * was awarded the CMI Management Book Of The Year In Innovation and Entrepreneurship. He is also a regular contributing writer for Forbes. In this conversation, Tendayi and I discuss how innovators often take on the role of pirates in the navy. We explore the mindset that innovators inside organizations need to avoid the common mistakes in advancing new ideas. Plus, we discuss why innovators should ignore detractors early on, parter with early adopters, and use early wins to move forward. Key Points Middle managers may stifle innovation, but often that’s because of internal pressure from those at the top to keep results coming. Innovators should beware basking in the glow of the CEO. It’s essential to engage other stakeholders in the business. Partnering with early adopters is essential for innovators. These are the managers who have existing frustrations with the status quo and are already trying new things. Celebrate early wins through blog posts, workshops, success stories, interviews, and even external conferences. These help you gain credibility. Beware basking too much in early wins. The point of early wins is to give you credibility to move on to the next stage.

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. Dr. Linda Hill is my latest guest on the podcast. She is the Wallace Brett Dohm Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School and the chair of the Leadership Initiative. She’s is regarded as one of the top experts on leadership, is the co-author of Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation and Being the Boss. Dr. Hill is also the co-founder of Paradox Strategies and the co-creator of the Innovation Quotient. She was named by Thinkers50 as one of the top 10 management thinkers in the world in 2013 and received the Thinkers50 Innovation Award in 2015. Her TED Talk, How to Manage Our Collective Creativity, has gotten more than 2 million views. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders and aspiring innovators. TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… There is a misconception about leadership and leading innovation. Leadership is communicating a vision and inspiring others to fulfill that vision. Leading innovation is about creating an environment for people to be willing to go down that innovation path with you. The innovation path is paved with a greater purpose to do the hard, emotional, and intellectual work of innovating. According to Dr. Hill, here are the 3 things we know about innovation: 1. Innovations are not the result of individuals having ‘aha’ moments but are a result of a diverse collaboration of people. 2. You cannot plan an innovation; it’s a messy process of discovery riddled with error. 3. Innovations are a combination of ideas. If you want to lead and inspire innovation, you must have a culture where people are willing to get their hands dirty but also feel like they are part of the process. WHAT I LOVE MOST… This episode is a crash course in how to be a leader and leading change when you are trying to drive innovation. Yes, leading change is different from leading innovation - it’s about creating an environment to let people co-create with you. Simply, let yourself breathe and give yourself and your team time to try things. Finally, I love Dr. Hill’s idea that innovation is a voluntary act…a bottom-up journey and not the other way around.
