The Truth Behind Innovation at Companies

On this episode of HBR IdeaCast from Harvard Business Review, host Curt Nickisch, senior editor at HBR and Gary Pisano talk about the truth behind innovation at companies.

Pisano is a professor at Harvard Business School and studies innovation at different kinds of companies. Innovation is often thought of as an exciting and fun aspect of business, but Pisano reveals the harsh truth behind such innovations.

The author of the HBR article The Hard Truth About Innovative Cultures and the book Creative Construction: The DNA of Sustained Innovation insists that leaders need to open their minds to the other side of innovative companies such as ‘individual accountability’, ‘disciplined choices’, and ‘candid feedback’.
