I moderated a great panel discussion on Sustainable Innovation yesterday on Focus. It was quite enlightening to hear insights from people who’ve been at larger companies like Facebook, Linkedin, eBay, and Yahoo; but have also been at smaller startups too. I raised the concept of “Compound Innovation” and wrote up some of my thoughts on why I think this is a very powerful model of innovation here.

Some of the topics we discussed:

What differentiates successful innovation from the more typical product evolution?
How do you best measure true innovation success vs. failure?
How can you best optimize your organization and processes to foster successful innovation?
After experiencing many different innovation programs and processes, what actually works?
What are the myths of innovation that continue to be pitfalls?

Here is the MP3 audio recording of the panel discussion:
