“Looking out a couple years, your strategic plan may still be viable, but it sure has to be flexible.” - Randy Smith Welcome to episode 203 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your hosts, Randall Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com, and Jill Nowacki, President and CEO of Humanidei. In this episode, we discuss creation vs. innovation and what we believe the primary differences between the two are. We discuss how leaders can strike the right balance between creating something entirely new and innovating on something that already exists. We also share our thoughts on the role of A.I. in speeding up innovation, why collaboration is important, and how organizations can put strategic change into effect. A big shout-out to Trellance for being an amazing sponsor of The CUInsight Experience podcast!
