E117 | How To Do Disruptive Innovation with Tendayi Viki

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
