You don’t need to “double down” on innovation. You need to build the right environment to listen to your employees and customers. 
Most companies say they are listening, but their employees know it's not true.
Convincing your innovation leaders that it’s the right time innovate becomes a lot easier when people listen to your feedback and you can openly share it.

And if you listen to what your employees are saying it’s always a no-brainer what to do.

Highlights:

- How to get innovation project buy-in from your leaders
- How to identify innovative ideas across your company
- How Ore measures success and sets KPI’s on innovation at HSBC
- What innovation leaders should start/stop doing in practical terms
