22: Innovation Storytelling is at the Heart of Bloomberg’s Disruption

Ask anyone who’s in the business and tech industry, and they’re sure to tell you that Bloomberg is a global leader in business and financial data, news, and insight. It’s no accident how they became a leading authority in their field. Over the years, they continually innovate and build credibility through the reliable information and technology that they provide their clients. Chaim Haas, Head of Innovation Communication at Bloomberg, lets us in on one of their secrets: it’s by creating an inclusive and diverse workplace that they are able to create innovation that impacts people’s lives. In this episode, Chaim Haas talks about his role as the Head of Innovation Communication at Bloomberg, what innovation communication is, and what diversity and inclusion look like in practice. He also talks about collaboration and idea-sharing through guilds within their company and how they implement new technologies without disrupting business.

Did you ever wonder how an innovation got to its finish line? How innovators saw the future, made a product, and created change – in our world and in their companies? I did. Innovation Storytellers invites changemakers to describe how they created their innovation and just as important – THE STORIES – that made us fall in love with them. Come learn how great innovations need great stories to make them move around the world and how to become a better storyteller in the process. I’m Susan Lindner, the Innovation Storyteller. But I wasn’t always. I’ve been a wannabe revolutionary, an epidemiologist at the CDC and an AIDS educator in the brothels of Thailand helping to turn former sex workers into entrepreneurs. Trained as an anthropologist and the Founder of Emerging Media, I’ve spent the last twenty years working with innovators from 60+ countries. Ranging from cutting edge startups to Fortune 100 companies like GE, Corning, Citi, Olayan, and nine foreign governments, helping their leaders to tell their stories and teaching them how to become incredible advocates for their innovations. Great innovation stories make change possible. They let us step into a future we can’t see yet. I started this podcast to shine a light on our generation of great innovators, to learn how they brought their innovation to life and the stories they told to bring them to the world.
