Description
In this episode, host Amy Yee sits down with Terri Griffith, Keith Beedie Chair in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Simon Fraser University, to unpack the “hidden skills gap” that’s limiting our ability to innovate, adapt, and scale—despite major technological investments.🔹 What is "system savviness" and why does it matter for the future of work?🔹 Why do 75% of innovation and transformation efforts still fail?🔹 How can leaders better align talent, technology, technique, and timing?🔹 What role should education, experimentation, and negotiation play in building adaptive teams?🔹 And how does a childhood spent helping a wedding planner prepare someone to lead complex engineering projects?Whether you're a policymaker, digital leader, educator, or founder, this conversation will give you new tools—and a new lens—for driving sustainable innovation.👇 Resources
