𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲, 𝐈𝐏, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲’𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞 🌍   The recent 4x4 Innovation Meet sparked lively discussions on energy innovation, intellectual property (IP) challenges, and the influence of leadership on innovation culture. Here’s what stood out:   🔋 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬: The need for alternative energy solutions is growing, particularly in high-energy industries like mining and data centers. With Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) intense energy demands, we’re seeing leaders like Microsoft shift from grid dependency to sustainable energy models for last-mile power generation. For example, OpenAI’s data usage now rivals that of small cities.   🔑 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬: One story highlighted the irreplaceable value of serial innovators. In one German company, the exit of a key innovator with 30 years of experience disrupted R&D and innovation, leaving the company with no new invention disclosures in months. The clash between this innovator and a new Chief technology officer (CTO) illustrated how management styles can impact a company’s innovation continuity and talent retention.   📈 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐊𝐏𝐈𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: There was debate on KPIs, particularly the risk of driving innovation quantity over quality. Some companies, incentivizing invention disclosures through KPIs, end up with “patent padding”—filing for the sake of numbers rather than genuine value. China’s surge in patent filings was discussed as a cautionary example, where subsidies led to low-quality patents.   🚀 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: The group stressed the strategic importance of aligning innovation with economic cycles. Businesses investing wisely in tough times often emerge stronger. However, managing IP in alignment with product strategy remains a challenge for many, with some still relying on basic tools to track innovation portfolios effectively.   Each of these insights underscores the complexities of innovation today, from energy and IP to nurturing talent and aligning vision with leadership.   📅 Join our next session for in-depth insights into future trends in the industry: https://lnkd.in/ghjPBSbm   #InnovationStrategy #EnergyInnovation #4x4InnovationMeet Matthew Wahlrab; Rich McDonnell Bruce Vojak Christian Behr; Sam Bergstrom; Magnus Hakvåg, 🔑Maria Boicova-Wynants; Donal O'Connell; Sanaz Javadi Farahzadi; Dr. Dominique Christ; Dr. Claas Gerding-Reimers; Erdem KAYA; Archana Pandit; Udo Gennari; Priggya Arora; Shalini Sitaraman Menezes, ABD; Magda Voltolini; Ivan Gauci; Mustafa Cakir, RTTP, QPIP, Bastian Best; Dr. Jörn Plettig; Martin Schlosser; Henry K.H.

🔗 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐰: 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 🔗 At the recent 4x4 Innovation Meet, Frank Mattes, author of 𝘕𝘖𝘞 & 𝘕𝘌𝘞: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨-𝘜𝘱 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩, shared insights on strategies for balancing present operations with future innovation. His approach addresses companies' challenges in achieving short-term stability and long-term growth through innovation. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬: 💡𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐰: Companies need to operate dual systems: the 𝘕𝘰𝘸 system prioritizes stability and efficiency, while the 𝘕𝘦𝘸 system is designed for experimentation and innovation. An effective interface between the two allows seamless integration of new ideas into core operations, ensuring short-term performance and long-term growth. 👥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: For innovation to succeed, leaders must actively participate by providing resources, removing barriers, and aligning efforts with company goals. Active leadership ensures innovation is prioritized and supported. 🚀 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲: Only a small percentage of employees (4-12%) are needed to drive significant, non-incremental innovation within a company. These innovators need autonomy and support to scale breakthrough ideas, making innovation a consistent contributor to long-term success. 📚 The key message was that innovation does not fail due to lack of scalability, but because companies often fail to integrate it into their core operations effectively. The two-system approach Frank advocates provide a clear strategy for sustaining innovation and fostering long-term growth in any industry.
