Innovation. It’s not new, but rather fundamental to our very existence.
But is it in our corporate DNA?
It's certainly a hot topic in Atlantic Canada, so I found this article featuring a chat with Gary Pisano interesting. (https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/how-big-companies-can-innovate-like-small-startups/)

He talks about having explicit strategies in place along with appropriate resource allocation, creating internal systems for the type of innovation you want, and having the right levels of tolerance for failure, incompetence and candidness that are necessary to harness the power of and develop the capacity for innovation.
Because if you think about it, failure and incompetence can often run counter to what may be an outdated definition of accountability.
I particularly like his thoughts on widening your circle to include new people, who will bring new ideas...in the right environment (open/candid) rather than replicating what's been done in the past or speaking with the same people or customers and expecting different results.
