George believes that true innovation requires more than just theory—it demands a culture where ideas can thrive at every level of the organization. Through his hands-on approach, he fosters environments where diverse teams—scientists, technologists, business leaders—collaborate to turn bold ideas into breakthrough innovations. His holistic approach for innovation ensures organizations not only generate ideas but also have the systems and strategies in place to convert those ideas into sustainable business success.
With his expertise, George helps businesses systematically create value through innovation, equipping them to stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
George argues that “… the single most important success factor of corporate innovation is a vivid environment characterized by ‘diversity of thought’ and a special ‘discovery mode’. In such an environment there is both a plurality of ideas - coming from all directions and across the hierarchy - and the readiness to exploit them - the ability to consider novel ideas as drivers of business success. The former requires inspired, capable people who believe in the organizational purpose and engage ‘naturally’ with innovation activities. The latter requires the right innovation capabilities along with a special leadership style that supports a continual ‘opportunity discovery’ function. Such a business setup inspires creative minds across the hierarchy of the organization – it brings together scientists, domain experts, technologists, and business leaders as a single force, a cross-disciplinary team that works and innovates ‘naturally’ towards big, meaningful organizational objectives.”
“While most of companies out there claim to be innovative, it is only a minority of them that are able to systematically create value through their novel products, services, or business models.”
“Often companies only scratch the surface of innovation – they focus on appearing innovative; others try hard to foster innovation but with no success ”
