How do innovative organizations achieve great things? Some believe that innovation is the result of one masterful stroke. In reality, as Todd Talbot, president of Fluidmaster describes,the boldness of innovation occurs through disciplined progress towards a vision.
Fluid master is a leading global supplier of fluid management systems. Some would think that engineering the internal flushing mechanisms of toilets is not that exciting of a business.
The leadership and innovation that comes our of this San Juan Capistrano, California based company however is exciting.
Without getting better, being bold, being innovative, being differentiated, your business probably isn’t going to survive.
As Todd describes in this episode, the real risk in business is in – not investing in innovation. If businesses don’t invest in a future of digital business systems, changing market, customer, and consumer demands for example as Todd reminds us, the business is not going to be successful
So how do you achieve a bold, transformative, and innovative vision. Todd provides a great framework that begins with a foundation making a commitment to the incremental things that add up to the transformation you envision.
