Heights of great "companies" reached and kept...through Innovation

As-Is To-Be Podcast

An interview with Kwesi Redwood: Kwesi quotes “The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night." And how he uses this quote or "teachable lesson" on why continuous innovation is critical to strategic planning. Kwesi shares why we should credit Encylopedia Briticanaica as the original storage of information and reminds us how Sears Canada was considered the original Google and innovative for its time. Further, he lists several teachable lessons on why continuous innovation is key for even the most accomplished companies to maintain future success.
