Manage episode 312389881 series 3219993
“The 2019/20 Corporate Innovation Playbook” is one of the most comprehensive studies on the pragmatic aspects of getting innovation planned and done inside companies. A smart group of 12 innovators asked: What are the biggest contributors and barriers to mapping out and implementing innovation inside companies? What are companies doing now? Why? What is their potential impact on their overall business? What will change? What are their unfair challenges and advantages vs. startups?
