Innovation at Any Size

Innovation is about people, and everyone in HR needs to be in the business of innovation.  In this HCI Keynote video, Alex Goryachev, Head of Innovation Strategy and Programs at Cisco’s Corporate Strategic Innovation Group, explains how a startup mentality can help businesses of any size grow their employee engagement, while simultaneously helping the organization gain competitive edge in its ideas and cultural capital.

Key insights:

  • Think like a startup to survive in a world where new, disruptive players are always on the horizon.
  • Help business leaders build a startup culture at your organization; the onus is on HR to do it.
  • Attract the best talent, or that talent will work for your competitors and put you out of business.
  • Invest in innovation, but be willing to fail repeatedly before you succeed.
