About Killer Innovations with Phil McKinney - A Show About Ideas Creativity And Innovation
Forty years of billion-dollar innovation decisions. The real stories, the hard calls, and the patterns that repeat across every organization that's ever tried to build something new. Phil McKinney shares what those decisions actually look like. Phil was HP's CTO when Fast Company named it one of the most innovative companies in the world three years running. He co-founded a company and took it public. Now he runs CableLabs, the R&D engine behind the global broadband industry. This isn't theory. It's what happened. And what you can see coming if you know what to look for. Running since 2005, originally as The Killer Innovations Show, now The Innovators Studio. Tens of millions of downloads.

What you cannot see is what had to be in place before the work began. That's a second version of it, and it's the mistake I almost made with the 20% time. Copying what worked at another company and expecting it to work at your organization. Now I'm going to come back to that later with the story of a company that learned it the hard way. […]
