A single developer sold an $80 million company to Wix in six months. In this Kyndryl Institute panel, Rita McGrath, Alexander Osterwalder, Ismail Amla and Usman Sheikh explain how AI is rewiring organisations — killing the billable hour, flattening power, and shifting work from hours to outcomes.
Most innovators believe a great idea will sell itself. Bruce Vojak, co-author of Serial Innovators, joins Aidan McCullen to reveal why that belief will get you fired — and how the rare few who repeatedly deliver breakthrough innovations inside mature firms actually navigate the organisational politics that stop everyone else cold.
Bruce Vojak returns for a short bonus episode on the Hourglass Model — the descriptive state diagram he and his co-authors built to explain how serial innovators actually move from a customer problem to a launched product, without the prescriptive rigidity of stage-gate.
Creativity is not a gift. It is a skill. Jeff and Staney DeGraff return for part two of the DeGraff trilogy with The Creative Mindset — and the six-step CREATE method (Clarify, Replicate, Elaborate, Associate, Translate, Evaluate) that turns ordinary teams into compounding inventors.
In this episode of The Innovation Show, Joel Schwartzberg, author of Get to the Point, shares how to stop rambling and start resonating. Learn practical tools to sharpen your message, speak with clarity, and lead with confidence.
In this episode, Aidan McCullen dives into the turbulent trends shaping our world with futurists Bob Johansen and Jamais Cascio, co-authors of “Navigating the Age of Chaos.” They explore the BANI framework—Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible—and how leaders can respond with resilience, empathy, and strategic foresight.
Aidan McCullen and Samuel Arbesman dive into code as a humanistic “superpower,” biology–computation parallels, artificial life, and the simulation hypothesis—tempered by humility and curiosity.
Prof. Manu Kapur joins Aidan McCullen for part 3 of our Innovation Show series on “productive failure.” Discover why initial struggle fosters deeper learning, how to design for failure in education and beyond, and how to unlock insights through cognitive dissonance.
In Part 2 of my conversation with Manu Kapur, author of Productive Failure, we explore the science behind learning from failure, including the Four A’s framework, variability in learning, and why struggle fuels adaptability in today’s fast-changing world.
Manu Kapur joins The Innovation Show to discuss his book Productive Failure, showing how failure fuels deeper learning, creativity, and adaptability in education, business, and life.
