Σχετικά με αυτό το podcast
The Innovation Show is a business innovation podcast hosted by Aidan McCullen, recipient of the 2025 Thinkers50 Innovation Award and author of Undisruptable. Each week Aidan interviews the authors, researchers and practitioners reshaping how organisations think about innovation, leadership, change and reinvention.
The guest list reads like a who's who of innovation. Gary Hamel joined Aidan for an 18-part series. Seth Godin was the show's first guest, and Rita McGrath, Dee Hock, Robert Burgelman, Alex Osterwalder, Joe Bower, Clark Gilbert, Scott D. Anthony, Michael Tushman, Charles O'Reilly, Sven Smit, Paul Daugherty and Paul Nunes have all followed, alongside hundreds of thinkers you may not have heard of yet and will be glad you did.
With 667 episodes, the show is a library for leaders who want to see disruption coming and for managers looking for practical ways to bring better ideas to work.
This is the podcast where square pegs find their place in a world of round holes.
