Description
The nature of change is changing. Due to digitalisation and hyper-connectivity, the pace of innovation may be outpacing organisations' ability to adapt. Beth Comstock, former CMO of GE, discusses the idea of an imagination gap and how we can do better as organisations to close this gap. "Open yourself up to change, you cannot control it."
In partnership with LeadersIn.

The nature of change is changing
Industry change is ever-adapting and constantly forming new patterns. Comstock discusses how businesses aren't ready for the new turnover speed of change and how digitisation will only speed this process up. "The pace of change may be outpacing our ability to adapt."
The imagination gap
Comstock describes the imagination gap as a place where options for the future get stuck, or die. She describes the gap to be between problem-solving and companies' insistence on wanting to stick to their 'same old ways'.
Comstock explains how teams can bridge this gap.
How to accomplish change
In many organisations there is still a fear of change, thus resulting in teams not coming together to bring about innovation. "We need to stop relying on what we have done in the past to figure out a way in the future."
Comstock details the requirements to accomplish innovation in the workplace.
The impact of storytelling
Sometimes innovation falls short due to the lack of a good pitch. Comstock explains that investors need to see the relevance and the impact of an idea, which can be done primarily through good storytelling. "If you can't tell it, how can you ever sell it?"
