Radhika Dutt The New Mindset For Innovating Smarter

Show Notes

When we build products without thinking about the change we want to create in the world, we inflict collateral damage to society. ~ Radhika Dutt

Businesses have become increasingly more short-term-oriented since the 1980s. Our approach to innovation has increasingly become short-term driven - we optimize for business results in the near term and it leads to an iteration-led approach to building products. (The example of Boeing's 737Max illustrates the point).  An iteration-led approach leads to product diseases that are often fatal to innovation.
