Why 80% of innovations fail, with Shafik Saba, Global Lead, Front End Innovation, Haleon
Description
Our guest on this episode of The Persuasion Game podcast is Shafik Saba, Global Lead of Front End Innovation at Haleon.
He says, when it comes to innovation, you need to obsess over your brand’s core. Far too often, marketers and innovators get distracted by new extensions to their brands, which stretch the brand too far and lead to disaster. Not enough innovation is focused on driving the business that brought success in the first place.
Shafik shares his tips for striking the right balance between innovating your core and stretching into areas you authentically belong in.
