Implement an Ambitious Innovation Program: Business Management
►► Implement an Ambitious Innovation Program: Business Management
How can organizations stop leaving high-value innovation opportunities “on the table”—and start managing innovation with the same discipline they apply to major business deals?
In this episode, Dave Caissy, Founder of the Innovation Leaders Club, explores how to integrate true business management into an innovation program. Using a production-line analogy and a reinterpretation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, he shows why most organizations remain stuck in tactical projects—and what it takes to climb toward strategic and adjacent-market innovation.
You’ll learn:
Why organizations miss major innovation opportunities due to limited capacity
How “innovation backlog” represents real revenue and margin left untapped
The Maslow Pyramid of Innovation: tactical → strategic → long-term adjacent innovation
Why growth requires moving beyond short-term fixes and reactive work
How to evaluate innovation using margin, cannibalization, and net-new revenue
How to scale from 8 FTE to 20+ FTE by leveraging ecosystems, partners, and external expertise
This episode lays the foundation for the next video, where we shift from philosophy to numbers—and show how to quantify innovation capacity, revenue potential, and program impact.
