Welcome back to another episode in our Exponential Series here on the Innovation Show, where we explore how exponential technologies are colliding and changing the world. This is our grand finale with Ismail Amla on his book From Incremental to Exponential.

Over the past two decades, our guest has participated in dozens of innovation exercises with numerous companies. He has guided legacy energy giants in creating marketing opportunities by taking risks on innovations and better business models. He has helped retail chains and supermarkets defend themselves against Amazon and other online-only vendors.

He has even helped the British Government create a rapid-response program for adopting innovation and technologies and to rethink the resource allocation and strategy and future requirements of the British Army. Unlike most innovation experts, he has also served as a senior executive overseeing major innovation pushes. At IBM, he lived through one of the most difficult innovation periods in recent history as Big Blue struggled to pivot for a third time. By the same token, he has read as much of the scientific research as he could. In doing so, he realized that much research on innovation is of wildly varying quality.

In today’s episode, he shares what he has learned as we touch on his Playbook for Building Innovative, Exponential Companies We welcome back the author of From Incremental to Exponential, Ismail Amla
