Lunch & Learn with Nathan Baird, Founder of Methodry & innovation strategist

Innovation is one of the most important endeavors of modern times, yet 95% of innovations fail. Why is that? 

Unfortunately this is because more often than not, startups spend their time inventing solutions for non-existent customer needs!

In other words, entrepreneurs fall into the trap of “let’s make some really cool stuff”. This is jumping to the solution mentality, prevalent in the corporate and startup world, and means founders are too often skipping the “front end” of the innovation process.
