In this episode of the Idea to Value podcast, we speak with Dr Ralph-Christian Ohr about ambidexterity, dual innovation and what it takes to scale up new ventures.

Rather than there being a single best way to set up an ambidextrous organisation, it requires a set of key principles which all innovation teams and companies need to display.

  • 00:15:30 – What is required to manage the space in between the core business and innovation units
  • 00:20:30 – The principles required for successfully delivering dual innovation
  • 00:23:30 – Where innovation should sit is based on what scope of business it is trying to change
