Episode: Most companies talk about wanting to be more
innovative, but few take the steps needed. In this discussion, I
discovered the five steps organizations can take to be more
innovative, from someone who has successfully executed the steps
many times. Michael Wynblatt - Innovator and Product
ManagerRecently, Ingersoll Rand was ranked #9 for Innovation in
Fortune’s Most Admired Companies 2015. They made the #9 ranking the
very first year they appeared on the Fortune list – a great
accomplishment.  Clearly something is changing at the company
in terms of innovation, and this change is being driven by Michael

innovative and specifically how to create a culture that breeds
innovation.
