#44 Innovation and Corporate Explorers. With Andrew Binns

Today’s podcast is about innovation, the innovation that can and
should come from within a corporation.


Yes, Contrary to popular beliefs, large corporations are better
off than startups at winning the innovation game, or so says my
guest, Andrew Binns.


Andrew is the co-author of the best-selling book, The corporate
explorer, and a strategic advisor to Fortune 500 companies.


Listening to this interview, you will learn there is a breed of
managers, that are the corporate explorers, who have the vision
and the courage to challenge the status quo, and bring the
disruptive change large corporations need to keep striving, and
sometimes surviving.


They are as innovative and effective as the startup entrepreneurs
the press love to portray as the queens and kings of innovation,
and they are also different.


Corporate explorers must disrupts business models, while
harmonizing ideas and resources.


They must pursue new opportunities, while making sure the
existing business, and the people running it, don’t feel
threatened.


It’s not an easy job, but someone must do it, and that person may
be you.
