“We try to get our people attached to the learning rather than the outcome. It's not a failure if you decide to kill your project. In fact, we celebrate that.”
In this episode, we are delighted to welcome Nic Umana, Global Agile Innovation Human Intelligence Director at Mars. Having worked at Mars for more than two decades, the self-proclaimed "chaos pilot" has gained a wealth of experience within the company, which she now brings to her role by putting people at the heart of innovation.
In this entertaining conversation, we delve into Nic's approach to innovation and get an inside look at the agile innovation model recently implemented at Mars. In addition, we also discuss the challenges of implementing agile innovation across a global organization, and learn how to strike the perfect balance between data-driven decision-making and human-centered innovation.
So put on your headphones and get ready for an insightful journey into activating human intelligence for global agile innovation.The episode at a glance:
