In episode #17, I confront an issue that seems all too common amongst large organisations trying to deal with this thing called disruption. Far too often, the response is isolated initiatives or projects, with defined start and end dates, that don't have clearly defined objectives, aren't embedded into the broader organisational BUs, don't tie in with performance metrics, make little funding or resources available to explore ideas beyond an initiative and ultimately amount to nothing more than theatre with no tangible long-term value. I talk what organisations are doing wrong and what they need to be thinking about if they are serious about innovation and keeping disruption at bay.

Welcome to our very first Fast Fix Friday, a short 5 minute or less morsel of knowledge to inspire and inject some fresh thinking into your day and get you ready for the weekend as you reflect on the week that was! In this episode, I look at Pixar's brain trust - a mechanism the company uses to do away with sugarcoating and the human tendencies to not say what we really think - which ultimately stands in the way of creativity and innovation.

Flow has been defined as a mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus. The term was first coined by Hungarian psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in 1975 and is often referred to as as ‘the zone’, however few people truly appreciate that ‘the zone’ is actually a physiological state. Why did I choose to write about a topic that may at first glance seem to have more to do with psychology and physiological science than business innovation? The answer is simple. A 10-year McKinsey and Co. study on flow and productivity found top executives 500% more productive when in flow. Interested in finding out more? Give this podcast a listen!

I had the pleasure of catching up with Humphrey Laubscher, NAB Labs' Fintech Innovation Manager, for our latest Future² podcast. We touched on a number of questions relevant for not just banking and financial services organisations, but other large organisations facing similar challenges and startups looking to partner and/or disrupt incumbents. For those of you who don't know, NAB Labs is the innovation arm of the National Australia Bank, and aside from recently announcing a $50m startup venture fund, NAB Labs is heavily focused on collapsing the time it takes to bring new products to market, investigating partnerships and potential investments and designing a scalable innovation system that sits at the heart of the bank. A must listen if you are looking to drive innovation in any of the above realms.
