Innovation is a better future delivered. Sounds fun right? It has many enemies, which makes it very hard.

A few weeks ago I shared “My User Manual“, how to deal with me, with my team at Netek. I’ve used it for a long time to get people to talk about themselves in front of each other, so I thought it would be a great exercise for the team to express themselves in a safe way.

How do you put creativity to work? How do you implement it so it delivers innovation? What does a culture of innovation look like? There are no shortage of innovative companies to draw inspiration from who have been able to transform themselves. Though you can’t copy their culture and strategy, but you can certainly learn a few things.
