Description
Matthew Sinclair, Partner and VP of Engineering at Boston Consulting Group’s Digital Ventures and Jean-Marie Ferdègue, Director of Business Engineering, Gaming at Facebook, are the featured experts on this episode of the Business, Innovation & Technology Podcast. Together, they explore key elements of innovation: desirability, feasibility, viability, and impact. Matthew and Jean-Marie discuss how Digital Ventures and Facebook rely on multidisciplinary teams and cross-collaboration to develop impactful solutions. They also talk about how lean teams prevent scope creep, why companies must look beyond vanity metrics as measures of success, and what they look for in job candidates. You’ll also learn Matthew and Jean-Marie’s perspectives on what really drives innovation. It is not necessarily company size, industry, or access to resources. It is psychological safety, or every employee’s freedom to bring ideas (good or bad!) to the table and to feel comfortable failing and trying again.
