TEDx – From innovation theater to real impact
TEDx – From innovation theater to real impact
In his compelling TEDx talk, Francisco Palao unpacks the critical challenge organizations face today: the Innovation Theater. He reveals why many companies struggle to turn innovation into real impact and provides a groundbreaking solution—the Innovation Habitat. This concept, rooted in his Business Evolution framework, empowers organizations to nurture innovation beyond mere ideation and experimentation, ensuring it thrives within corporate structures.
Palao argues that most corporate innovation initiatives fail due to two fundamental obstacles: the immune system response and the difficulty of executing and exploring simultaneously. The immune system of a company naturally resists change, treating disruptive ideas as threats rather than opportunities. Meanwhile, balancing daily operations with the pursuit of breakthrough innovations is an ongoing struggle for most organizations.
To overcome these barriers, Palao presents the Innovation Habitat, a strategic approach that places innovation at the core of the organization while providing it with the necessary conditions to thrive. By fostering a tailored environment that supports risk-taking, collaboration, and structured experimentation, companies can finally bridge the gap between ambition and execution, transforming ideas into sustainable impact.
