Mission-driven Innovation

Robert Fabricant

About this video

Description

Innovation has been on the executive agenda for quite a while. But too few ideas make it through the operational layers of an organization – the “dark matter” as Dan Hill of Fabrica puts it. This is the biggest challenge for design thinkers today. What if your teams could temporarily adopt a different M.O. and work more collaboratively and openly with partners, without worrying about sacrificing sacred cows in your business? What you need is a mission to create a sense of urgency within your organization. Robert presents models of “mission-driven innovation” and shows how they drive change in large organizations.
