Why companies lose their best innovators (2019)
I am the kind of person to submit 30 ideas to internal innovation challenges. I was an innovation intern for a bank. I have won many innovation awards from competitions they hosted to find ideas.<p>How many of those ideas got out of the page/prototype stage? 0.<p>Because it seems like the important thing for many is to seem innovative. After that part has been done, interest disappears.<p>Everyone would rather you excite them with a new idea. So much of this "innovation" stuff is about media and being trendy.
