"People talk about #innovation a lot... but often in the conversation around innovation, there isn't an innovation strategy. If there's a semblance of an innovation strategy, it's not often clearly articulated or it's not connected to an overarching business #strategy. That is when things start to fall down." Dr. Simone Ahuja joined me on the podcast to talk about the concept of 'jugaad innovation.' Jugaad is a process of frugal innovation where innovators hack together creative solutions with limited resources to come up with new ways to solve problems. In this episode, Dr. Ahuja discusses why severe resource constraints often activate #intrapreneurship and innovation, three things you need to put in place to unlock greater levels of internal innovation, why bottom-up innovation is so important to include in your portfolio of approaches, and the mindset shift leaders and intrapreneurs should make to unlock greater levels of internal innovation.
