Innovation isn't a department. It's a decision that touches every team, every budget, and every stakeholder in your organization.

Syya and Ben break down why innovation fails when it stays siloed, what actually happens when companies chase the shiny new tech without asking who it's for, and how to evaluate whether you build, buy, or partner your way to staying competitive.
