Innov8rs | After the Covid-19 pandemic, many corporate innovation units felt a sense of relief. Companies were optimistic, innovation budgets grew, and there was an increased appetite for out-of-the-box innovation.

A while back, one of my consulting partners from another office asked me to review their client’s innovation process.
