Post COVID we will need to pursue growth opportunities and innovate. Why is it so difficult for established businesses to innovate?

Robert Kay - Incept Labs - 04 Oct 2020

To recover from Covid 19 businesses will need to explore new opportunities for growth but also be focussed on survival of their existing lines of business. To achieve this will require the development of and support for entrepreneurial cultures that can operate alongside their existing business culture focussed on delivery and survival.

The structures and processes that make organisations efficient and effective in serving their current markets are often the opposite of what's needed to innovate. The innovative organisations that will prosper in the post Covid economy will be those learn to balance the need to exploit their assets to survive while recognising, the need to explore new opportunities. Robert Kay from Incept Labs outlines this challenge in the attached video.
