“When building a community make sure that you really understand for whom you are building it, what is it for and what will be the benefit both for the business and most importantly, for the community itself, because without people, you don't have community.”

In this inspiring episode, we are joined by Justyna Baber, Innovation Community Leader at the world-famous Swedish furniture store IKEA. Justyna's passion for bringing people together and the need within the organization to unite people and projects around innovation was the basis for the creation of the IKEA Innovation Community.

Join us as we learn about the genesis of the IKEA Innovation Community, but also the strategies used to keep this community not only active but growing and evolving over time. We will also discuss the broader impact of the IKEA Innovation Community and how it indirectly influences innovation and adaptation within the organization by bringing together passionate people from different roles to catalyze learning, sharing, and connections.

Whether you're part of a large corporation or a startup, this episode offers valuable insights into fostering creativity, encouraging collaboration, and building a thriving innovation community.
