They explore the factors involved, the roster of current solutions and future panaceas to defend against financial peril & espionage. With cyberthreats looming large and cybercrime predicted to cost the world US$6 trillion by 2021, it’s no wonder that cybersecurity has sprung up as a "board need-to-know" and an investment “hot commodity”. In fact, the world needs +145% more cybersecurity professionals simply to meet the growing needs and global demands of the market. There is real risk here too, share prices of breached companies fall over 7% in the two weeks after a breach is made public. Never mind the careers lost and brand equity bruised, the average breach causes $4 million directly in damages. Fueled by the dizzying new array of technologies that makes change & innovation more vulnerable to cyberthreats, the Futureproofing : Next team + their panelists, explores what the biggest cyberthreats are and how to defend, and in some cases even harness the threats as potential value.

Amy Edmondson in conversation with Andrea Kates, Futureproofing : Next In this episode of Futureproofing Next’s In the Author’s Studio, we speak with Amy Edmondson, author of The Fearless Organization . Edmondson’s groundbreaking research in the importance of Psychological Safety established a global standard for organizations working to drive innovation and engineer top-performing teams. Google studied the secret behind out-performing teams, they were surprised to discover a common element at the heart of it all—psychological safety. Real life research pointed to an irrefutable correlation between team results and the presence of “psychological safety”, a team dynamic that encourages people to speak up without negative repercussions. That revelation set the stage for Amy Edmondson to expand her insights about psychological safety into her book, The Fearless Organization. Corporate examples in the episode: Volkswagen , Wells Fargo , Barry Wehmiller, and Fukushima Daini , Google . To Build a Top-Performing Fearless Organization, Leaders Need a New Standard to Create a Culture of Psychological Safety Be clear at framing the work and openly address the potential for failure to be part of the process. Emphasize purpose: clearly articulate why the work matters and for whom. Demonstrate situational humility: communicate that you don’t have all the answers. Emphasize the importance of learning more Practice proactive inquiry. Make sure you ask good questions and not simply assert your own point of view.

Corporate change needs to change. How can it be that a disappointing 74% of corporate transformation projects fail? Greg Satell , author of Cascades, How to Create a Movement that Drives Transformational Change , has figured out why and provides a powerful alternative. In this interview, In the Author's Studio with the Futureproofing : Next team, Satell acknowledges that successful corporate transformation begins with a small group of people getting inspired that things can change. However, what sparks change in conceiving of the new vision is not effective in spreading that vision to a larger organization. Here’s how to start a mass movement. Step One: Initial zealots become fully engaged in a significant shift because of what’s NEW and DIFFERENT. Step Two: A small group gains early wins. Step Three: The zealots shift their narrative AWAY FROM what’s new and different in favor of a view of WHERE THERE IS COMMON GROUND between the old way of working and the new model. “The things that make people passionate about a new idea initially are NOT the same things that bring new people in. For a movement to take flight, you have to switch the narrative from an emphasis on DIFFERENTIATED VALUES to SHARED VALUES.” You’ll learn how companies like Netflix, Experian, and P&G broke the mold to move from small, team-level wins to a corporate movement. In this lively discussion, Greg Satell shares practical wisdom that is essential to getting well-intentioned change initiatives across the finish line.…

Open innovation has been a staple for how the best organizations, governments and movements produce innovative breakthrough results for the last couple of decades. The "father of open innovation" Henry Chesbrough and the Executive Director of Open Innovation at UC Berkeley sits down with Futureproofing : Next 's Managing Director Sean Moffitt talks open innovation, what got it started, how does the pandemic shine a light on it, a big modern paradox and what is the next generation of open innovation thought. We'll cover two of Henry's books. "Open Innovation" (initially published in 2003) and "Open Innovation Results" (published in Nov, 2019) as a backdrop to our author's studio episode. in 2020, we live in an age of exponential technology, but this is not so new. Indeed, technological innovation has been promoted so assiduously for so long that there is now a discernible pattern to its emergence known as the Gartner Hype Cycle. Open innovation is no exception. Henry Chesbrough, the originator of open innovation, examines the hype behind its practice, shows where real results are taking place, and explains how companies can move beyond the hype to achieve real business results. To get valuable results from innovation, businesses must open up their innovation processes and finish more of what they start. They need to open their knowledge flows to generate new growth, and unused internal knowledge must flow openly to others to generate new revenue and future business opportunities. Many of the best known aspects of open innovation such as crowdsourcing, open source software, or innovation intermediaries are often not well connected to the rest of the organization. Using numerous real-world examples of these methods in practice, Chesbrough illustrates how they can, and must, be used in connection to the organization as a whole in order to have real long-term value. Open innovation offers a clear-eyed view of the challenges and realities that limit the ability of organizations to create and profit from innovation. Whether in the largest companies or in a small business, an advanced economy or a rural village, Henry's books chart a course to enhance organizational growth and performance.…

In our second episode, host Sean Moffitt interviews Tony Saldanha on his book from 2019 "Why Digital Transformations Fail: The Surprising Disciplines of How to Take Off and Stay Ahead" . Message: Digital transformation is more important than ever now that we're in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where the lines between the physical, digital, and biological worlds are becoming ever more blurred. But fully 70 percent of digital transformations fail. Why? Tony Saldanha, a globally awarded industry thought-leader who led operations around the world and major digital changes at Procter & Gamble, discovered it's not due to innovation or technological problems. Rather, the devil is in the details: a lack of clear goals and a disciplined process for achieving them. In this book, Saldanha lays out a five-stage process for moving from digitally automating processes here and there to making digital technology the very backbone of your company. For each of these five stages, Saldanha describes two associated disciplines vital to the success of that stage and a checklist of questions to keep you on track. You want to disrupt before you are disrupted--be the next Netflix, not the next Blockbuster. Using dozens of case studies and his own considerable experience, Saldanha shows how digital transformation can be made routinely successful, and instead of representing an existential threat, it will become the opportunity of a lifetime.…

In our debut episode, host Andrea Kates interviews Tendayi Viki on his upcoming book "Pirates in the Navy - How Innovators Lead Transformation" due out May 14th, 2020. Message: There is nothing harder in business than trying to innovate within large corporations. Innovators in big companies often face internal opposition as well as their external competitors. It is the management of the core business that tends to get in the way of innovation. Most intrapreneurs recognise that innovation can’t be carried out as a series of one-off projects that always have to jump through political hurdles. They realise that there is a need for innovation to happen as a repeatable process. But how can they achieve this? This is a step-by-step guide to getting continuous innovation done in companies and reshaping them in the process. It is for anyone involved in corporate innovation and driving company change.

Short of Nostradamus, no one can credibly predict what the future holds, but you can get ready for it. In this episode of Futureproofing Now, we'll unpack our arsenal of three levels of innovation+ audit and based on a whack load of evidence point to the most important factors that either promote or hinder the ability for a company to innovate, grow and change. We'll perform a deep dive on our Future-readiness Assessment Tool© and point to the key company-wide structural elements, change function performance and environmental factors that trigger innovation+ success or not. Avoid these suggestions at your future peril. Most innovation fails, we don't want to have that happen to you! Join us for our illuminating webcast episode as Futureproofing Now reveals the most important factors in futureproofing and getting to next . Futureproofing : Next will split the innovation atom and share tools and benchmarking grids proven to improve the innovation performance and capacity of companies in Season #2, Episode #5, “ Future-Readiness - Auditing Your Ability to Innovate and Change” We looked. We looked. And then we looked some more. In writing our book “Futureproofing : Next - The Future Beyond Innovation”, we benefited from some great work around innovation categorization, philosophy and process, but we found very few efforts made on evaluating the core question - how good are we at this innovation stuff? We’ve spent over a year figuring out what promotes and what hinders change, innovation and growth in companies, big and small. We think we've landed on something really good and wanted to share it with the world. In this episode, we'll look at the key factors that drive company changes. What are the ranked set of the most important factors? What are the three levels of elements? Does it matter which industry you are in? How do we get at an honest evaluation? And how do we compare ourselves to others? Our special guest panelists will provide their commentary, scorecards, tools and evaluation on what makes company change efforts tick best. We'll also share how we use this audit tool to harness company strengths, bridge gaps and shore up deficiencies. Hosts: Andrea Kates & Sean Moffitt Originally recorded: March 10, 2020 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: · What is "future-readiness"? Why does it need to become a key measure for your company? · What are the most important factors in innovation+ performance? · How can you get an honest assessment of each factor? · Which environmental factors play significant roles? · How do we score and benchmark company innovation performance? · Are there other tools that get at this need? · What can be learned by a future-ready snapshot and tracking progress over time?…

CEOs run companies, CFOs run finances, CTOs run technology assets, CMOs get to run marketing operations and CHROs get to run talent operations, but who gets to run corporate innovation efforts?
