156. Leading & Managing Innovation - with Taylor Ryan

We discuss whether to view innovation as a top-down or bottom-up function, why innovation measurement is a mirage, and why places like Google X believe that rewarding failure is a way to fuel future successes.   Joining us to talk about all of that and more is Taylor Ryan, the CMO of Valuer.ai, which helps corporations, accelerators, and investors find high-potential startups that specifically fit the corporation's strategic innovation requirements. In order to achieve this, Valuer has developed a platform that uses crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence to detect, predict, evaluate, and select startups that are particularly relevant to large companies.   Resources: Learn more at Valuer.ai LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylorryan/ Watch: “Astro Teller: The unexpected benefit of celebrating failure | TED Talk” Learn more and get the full show notes at: 3PillarGlobal.com
