Alex Burkhart - Innovation Inside The Enterprise

Best Kept Secret with Jay Kingley

Alex Burkhart of Zooky observes that while many enterprise executives desire to make a mark as innovators in their business, they fail to properly understand what it is they are trying to solve, who they are selecting to help solve the problem, and how they are going about solving the problem. Alex points out that innovation inside a corporation requires very different types of thinking and talent.

Alex recommends that executives develop a system that allows their team and company to create a sustainable culture of innovation. He argues that executives must focus on creating a sustainable culture of innovation that's tied to the right metrics and possible outcomes. Innovators must embrace having to navigate a fair amount of uncertainty and ambiguity. Alex recommends a 5-step process to successfully implement a culture of innovation inside the enterprise.
