Watch episode

What do we mean when we talk about «innovation»? Why do we need it? How can companies and societies foster innovation? Innovation and entrepreneurship expert Niron Hashai answers these questions in this episode of «It's not that simple».

In this episode, the professor at the Interdisciplinary Center of the Arison School of Business in Israel explains how innovation comes from an openness to «disobey our superiors» while simultaneously collaborating with our co-workers. He argues that to innovate we must take risks and fail, but "not fail too much».

Responding to Pedro Pinto's questions, Niron Hashai describes what a «culture of innovation» is, giving examples of companies that have improved their business via innovation, before examining the type of corporate structure that can promote this type of innovation.

In this interview, he also discusses the dangers of «innovation for innovation's sake» and reflects on the potential benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence. A scintillating conversation.
