On Saturday, September 15, 2018, WWT hosted their annual InnovationGames with over 100 ideas, 48 teams, and 200 people from all over the world pitching ideas to change the world for WWT, our customers, and our partners. Jessica Schroeder and Lance Leonard discuss how InnovationGames-type events help to breed the culture of innovation and we hear from some of the participants about their experience.

In this episode, we talk with Jessica Schroeder and Laura Beishir about accountability. Given the constant feedback from ideation sessions that "we come up with a ton of great ideas, but we never follow up", how do we solve that problem? We talk about challenges affecting taking action, specific frameworks to help drive accountability, and the general mindset of how to collaboratively hold ourselves accountable.

In this episode, we hear from Marc Chouinard, a member of the WWT Business Innovation team with a background in Transpersonal Psychology. We have a really fascinating discussion about how our brain and body work together in areas of creativity and collaboration. We also talk to Jessica Schroeder about bias (seriously, check us out on WWT Yammer - she shares some really great stuff) and how it affects our ability to collaborate as well as our general well-being.
