You’re an innovator. Your mandate is to think about supporting the future of the organization –products, services, business models, HR plans, and strategies. What if you could get incredible insights from someone who has held the title as the very first Chief Innovation Officer of Citibank, one of the biggest banks in the world? Now imagine trying to define that role for the organization, the industry, and for all future leaders who would fill the role after her. Meeting someone who has led innovation and marketing through every market twist imaginable at E*Trade, AXA, Readers Digest and American Express was a thrill. There’s only one word for someone of Amy’s caliber: a trailblazer.
That’s why I was so thrilled to have Amy Radin on my podcast. She’s seen it all, having worked in innovation roles – named and unnamed for nearly 40 years. An uncommonly pragmatic innovator, problem solver, author and award-winning speaker and advisor, Amy cuts through the corporate speak and shares with us some key takeaways:
- The specialized skill set and focus a CIO brings to the table.
- The potential pitfalls of creating a ‘silo of innovation’.
- Real-world examples of how involving the entire organization in innovation can be game-changing.
Tune in to learn how to apply Amy’s lessons and find out hear the Universal Truth we discovered on the show:
“Whether you have a CIO or not, the essence of innovation must permeate your company culture. It’s everyone’s job.”
Happy Listening!
