What challenges are facing Innovation Managers today?<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Innovation Mixer<\/strong>, whose first edition took place last week, aims at\u00a0building better bridges between corporates and startups.\u00a0 Co-organized by <a href=\"http:\/\/singapore.impacthub.net\/homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Hub Singapore<\/a> and Innovation Is Everywhere, it brought together the corporate and the startup world for an experimental night of networking and experience sharing.<\/p>\n<h1>10 tips\u00a0for innovators from the Innovation Mixer night<\/h1>\n<p>\u201c<em>It is not the strongest, neither the most intelligent species that survive, it is the most adaptable ones<\/em>\u201d said Dave Lim, entrepreneur and founding director of Innovation X, who leveraged on The Coca-Cola Company\u2019s resources. He started the event with 10 tips for innovation managers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Start with the question \u201c<strong>Why?<\/strong>\u201d. Make sure you know what you try to achieve. It\u2019s not about guidelines yet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know what you can leverage<\/strong>, what you can bring on the table (eg: Coke had the largest and constantly updated database of restaurants and F&amp;B companies, a very powerful asset).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get out of the box<\/strong>, go outside the office.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Connect and converse a lot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be humble<\/strong>. It\u2019s not possible to understand everything.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay hungry<\/strong>, stay foolish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find the right friends<\/strong>, don\u2019t go alone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let it go<\/strong>, stop having a controling mindset.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learn by doing<\/strong>, get your hands dirty. It doesn\u2019t mean that your strategic analysis will not be useful, but there is a lot of other things you will learn only by doing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do one thing starting tomorrow that really scares you<\/strong>. If that doesn\u2019t scare you, it is not innovative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2654\" src=\"http:\/\/innovao.cluster030.hosting.ovh.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_0032-1.jpg\" alt=\"Innovation Mixer startups corporates 1st edition Singapore\" width=\"700\" height=\"351\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A panel of corporates discussed the challenges of the digital transformation in their companies. \u201c<em>What we do in large companies is <strong>incremental addition to products<\/strong>. This is not disruption, only improvement<\/em>\u201d explains Vaasu Gavarasana, ex-Digital Marketing head at AXA. \u201c<em>It is very challenging for the innovation manager if the CEO of the company doesn\u2019t have a vision for innovation. Because <strong>large companies care always about the next quarter\u2019s profits<\/strong> but disruptive innovation takes more time before being profitable\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>. \u00a0\u00a0\u201c<em>To see impact, you need to get people in your company to buy it, to get excited about it<\/em>\u201d adds Dave Lim. Employees as well must have a feeling of mission. David Nosibor, Innovation Promoter at Mazars, is encouraging intrapreneurship through innovation challenges involving employees and startups. \u201c<em>We want to change the way our staff works on a daily basis.
