Innovation is everywhere. Turning it into meaningful business impact is much harder.
As organizations navigate rapid advances in technology, evolving customer expectations, and constant pressure to move faster, leaders face a growing challenge: determining which ideas are worth pursuing and then successfully turning those ideas into results.
In this episode, Kahua welcomes James Hatfield, Chief Revenue Officer at LiveSwitch and an innovation-focused leader with experience spanning product strategy, revenue growth, technology, and team leadership.
Drawing on his experience building products and leading high-performing teams, James explores what separates innovation that creates real value from innovation for innovation’s sake. The conversation examines how leaders can balance vision with execution, keep customer and business needs at the center of technology decisions, and create teams capable of navigating continuous change.
From evaluating new technologies and using data to inform strategic decisions to aligning product, revenue, and customer priorities, the discussion offers a practical perspective on what it takes to move an organization from a promising idea to measurable impact.
Elyssa Steiner leads a conversation about how leaders can approach innovation more intentionally and why successful transformation ultimately depends on people, execution, and business value as much as technology.
