We discussed during Innovation and Discovery some common mistakes that occur between operations and the dedicated team bringing about this change. Essentially the main takeaway of it was for companies to create an opportunity for people to think differently within the performance engine. Innovation should be a learning experience and not using the same methods.

What have been some of the hurdles you or your company has had to overcome to drive and move toward innovation and change?

From my experience, the company has always been open to the idea of innovation and discovery and for people to think differently and try to work differently. The biggest hurdle has been to put the funding toward it. I have come across great ideas that seem feasible and reasonable to move forward with but there has always been push back regarding anything money related going into it.
