Innovation in Business: Think Small to Win Big (An Interview with Ken Tencer)

By TSG

Ken Tencer Speaks on InnovationYou don’t have to be the next Steve Jobs — or even hire the next Steve Jobs — to be a breakthrough innovator in your industry. If you find comfort in that statement, then get out your pen and notepad (or open Evernote!) and listen to Ken Tencer, innovation expert and co-author of Cause A Disturbance, as he joins Shawn Ellis on this episode of The Better Life/Better Business Podcast. Ken has been helping companies with branding and innovation strategy for over 20 years, and leading publications and networks including The Globe & Mail, The Financial Times, CNBC, Forbes and Bloomberg have featured his thought leadership.

Listen in and you’ll discover:

  • Why the idea that business innovations have to be “big” and complicated is a myth
  • How innovation, marketing and sales work together to drive business growth
  • Where every great innovation begins (HINT: it has to do with your customers)
  • How to foster a spirit of “intrapreneurship” among your employees
  • Why creating a culture of innovation helps you attract, engage and retain top talent
  • How to use Ken’s “90 Percent Rule” to identify and focus on the innovative ideas that have the most potential in your business
  • How innovation helps you break free from commodity status
  • And more!
