Innovation is not just a checklist - Estella Woo & Elizabeth Blair

Is an idea really worth anything? Is Innovation only for Engineers? What is the difference between Innovation and Invention? Are you curious? You must listen to this episode with Estella Woo and Elizabeth Blair - a dynamic duo in the Innovation space. Estella is connecting “intrepreneurial” and operational worlds; drawing on 20 years of operational/ innovation experience to bridge the gap between strategy and business generation with an innovation perspective in a large multi-national corporation. With an applied background in Design Thinking and Lean Startup, Elizabeth has close to a decade’s worth of experience in innovation and startups. She loves wading through the ambiguity of building new businesses to find the key insights that can propel (or, yes, kill) the idea.   Let us know what you think of this episode!
