About Innovation Storytellers
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.

279: HOW to Get Your People to Believe in Your AI Strategy
Published 13 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And the question that's being posed to me all the time now is, can you really manage an AI-driven organizational change with storytelling? And my answer to that is, I really don't know another way to do it. If you want to manage by fiat, by mandate, I mean, that's one way to do it. But just barking commands at your team around AI and handing them a toolbox with lots of tools probably isn't gonna get you the results that you're looking for. And so the conversations that I've been having are around these big sweeping AI reorgs. And every AI transformation that your organization announces at the moment you announce it is a fiction to your teams. […]
