Why are some companies consistently more innovative than others?
In this episode of The Secret Source of Innovation, Professor
Nikolaus Franke discusses why innovation is not a matter of
chance, but the result of a system built on four elements:
leadership, organization and processes, culture, and open
innovation.

Drawing on research involving more than 10,000 companies, he
explains how leaders can foster experimentation, overcome
organizational resistance, and build lasting innovation
capabilities. The conversation also explores why financial
pressure should not mean abandoning innovation, how AI can
support the innovation process, and why breakthrough ideas often
emerge beyond company boundaries.

What can management teams do to turn innovation from an isolated
initiative into a sustainable organizational capability?

Nikolaus Franke co-authored Innovation Is Not Random (Innovation
ist kein Zufall) with Rudolf Dömötör, translating research and
practical experience into insights that management teams can
apply to their own organizations.
