The ability of any organization to have innovation success is defined by its willingness and ability to do things differently. To change. Lets not fool ourselves - change is hard and makes everyone unconformable.

In this weeks show, we discuss the role of change, fear and failure on innovation success. We cover such topics as:

- Why is change so hard (personal and professional)?
- What triggers the fear of change?
- What role does communication play to overcome distrust of change?
- Why is support of failure critical to a culture of innovation?
- What is the difference between "slow stupid failure" and "fast intelligent failure"?
- How do you overcome our personal innovation antibodies that causes us to judge ideas?
