Innovation Themes from 2021 – Sopheon

Last year was an excellent year for Innovation Talks. We launched the podcast to discuss topics around innovation, providing value to you, our listeners. We brought in guests and experts—including practitioners, academics, thought leaders, authors, and a few experts from within Sopheon—to share insights regarding a gradient of topics: the innovation process, governance, portfolio management, decision-making, innovation workers, culture, and the role of technology. We hope you have found the episodes educational and enjoyable.

In today’s episode, I reflect on ten innovation themes from 2021. These include governance, process, and portfolio—covering Agile, Stage-Gate, Scrum, Scaled Ads of Framework, and Lean. We also discuss the challenges of family-owned businesses, innovation ecosystems, start-up thinking, and disruptive and radical innovation. I highlight the guests who explored topics including sustainability, technology, ways of working, ways of thinking, and product management. I also share what we should expect in innovation in 2022 and the challenges ahead.

“Nobody is doing innovation alone anymore; you are doing it with others.” – Paul Heller
