Innovation is a deeply, deeply social phenomenon that requires many people to come along for the ride. It’s not easy! So, where to start? What are the principles? How to think about it? If you want to make the world a better place by building new products or services, or simply by creating better ways of doing things inside your organization, then this episode is for you!

Welcome to FutureBites with Dr. Bruce McCabe, futurist and keynote speaker, where I interview scientists and leading thinkers to explore pathways to a better future. 

In this episode, we're talking to Dr Ken Dovey about how to make innovation happen. Ken is the deepest thinker on innovation I know. He led an elite Master of Business and Technology program and dedicated a career to researching, teaching and leading innovation.  From leading multi-racial sporting teams in apartheid South Africa to working alongside CEOs attempting to turn around megafactories, he’s made the mistakes, celebrated the wins, and learned his innovation lessons the hard way – by being there!

Ken is also a great friend, and 100% committed to helping others and contributing positively to the world, which means he always ‘tells it like it is.’  There are so many gems in this wide-ranging conversation. Get ready for a treasure-trove of honesty and wisdom. Enjoy!

You’ll find the full interview transcript, together with a list of the sub-themes we covered and links to papers for further reading on the website here.

See you in the future!
