Innovation and the Business Units
InnoLead shares data from our survey on the ties between business units and innovation groups. Executives from Fidelity Investments, Aon Health, GOJO Industries, and Trek Bicycle, share their perspectives.
InnoLead editor Scott Kirsner shares some of the high-level data from our recent “Innovation Teams & Business Units: Allies or Adversaries?” report. He’s joined by executives from Fidelity Investments, Aon Health, GOJO Industries, and Trek Bicycle, who share their perspectives. Jim Winkler, Chief Innovation Officer at Aon Health says: “We borrow resources pretty extensively from the business… People rotate through my team in an informal fashion, and I more formally grab percentages of peoples’ time who are in the business. Someone might be a client facing health care consultant, but spend 25 percent of their time on my team working on a particular concept or solution that we’re building out.”
