Innovation Mindset
Innovation is a word we hear often, but how often to we ask what it means in practice? Is innovation focused on technology, product development, and disruption; or is it more about how leaders think, collaborate, and create connections for those new ideas to take root? This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS SVP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton and SystemX MC and Home Lending keynote speaker, innovation coach, and author Steve Lerch. Together they consider the importance of mindset in unlocking the innovation in any industry, how innovation really happens, and strategies for overcoming the obstacles that often hold companies back. Steve shares surprising ways that AI is changing the innovation landscape and strategies that leaders in agriculture and finance industries can employ to foster more innovating thinking on their teams.
“Innovation starts with people, culture, and leaders. The robots and AI come later.” — Steve Lerch
