Negotiating situations can be tense. It’s often assumed you need to wield power, grab what you can and then get out. But it doesn’t have to be so: if you can build trust and work out what the other person cares about, you’re more likely to get a result that’s good for both parties.
Empathy takes practice – and, before the other person even opens their mouth, you’ll have made a snap judgement about them based on their appearance. And that’s just the start of what can work against you and the likelihood of achieving a constructive outcome.

But would that not cause them to leave for foreign firms or private firms? Executive pay: market or racket? These questions were at the centre of a recent event hosted by London Business School’s Centre for Corporate Governance.

The following podcast is a description of the last four years of the Real Innovation Awards, and some of the inspiring stories of creative development which we at London Business School have previously identified and celebrated.
Innovation is, as we know, an essential part of the capitalist system, particularly so during times of great change. Of course, we do live in demanding times, sometimes called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or the Second Machine Age.
We all are aware of the age of steam, of the first industrial revolution in the 19th Century, and of the computer revolution of the 1960s and 70s. Now we are in the midst a wholly a new revolution which sees machine technologies augmenting and in some instances replacing human cognitive tasks. At London Business School’s Real Innovation Awards we have recognised four principal areas of innovation. First, the emergence of new technologies such as Improbable Worlds Limited which makes distributed simulation software for gaming and corporate use and won of our awards last year.
Then there is innovation in products and services, services such as Fintech and companies like Monzo and Revolut, digital banking companies, both of which were nominated for awards by our LBS judging panels in earlier years.
We tend to think of innovation as something manifestly physical, such as new products, but it is also behind new business models such as Airbnb and Uber. Last year, we gave an award to Airtasker, which is a jobs marketplace system which offers sometimes highly specified services to customers.
LBS also celebrates innovation in ways and methods of working, helping companies to act and operate in a more agile manner, and we also celebrate those companies which have learnt to pivot and change their businesses such as past winners WOG and Ørsted.
These are great stories, and this is why the LBS Real Innovation Awards seek out and celebrate the individuals, companies and organisations that have truly been there and lived to tell their tales of dynamic innovation.
The bigger the corporate the tougher innovation seems to be. But is the pendulum swinging towards large organisations? Jessica Spungin, LBS Adjunct Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship and Gary Dushnitsky, LBS Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, discuss some of the key advantages incumbents can benefit from with Alessandro Hatami, Partner at Pacemakers and former head of innovation at Lloyds. In this second part they discuss how innovation is no longer just the preserve of the nimble start-up. They also discuss different models of collaboration between start-ups and big business, and key aspects of the most effective innovation partnerships.
Large companies find innovation hard. Jessica Spungin, Adjunct Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship and Gary Dushnitsky, Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, discuss some of the key challenges with Alessandro Hatami, Partner at Pacemakers and former head of innovation at Lloyds. In the first part of this two part exploration, they consider the barriers to innovation in large businesses and why they are traditionally hard-wired to make it difficult for a truly innovative culture take hold, let alone flourish. Together they share their wisdom and some practical solutions to this complex and fascinating conundrum.
Is creativity a mystery to you? The creation of novel concepts, products and services is not a “magical act” say LBS’s Michael Parke and Pier Vittorio Manucci, Assistant Professors of Organisational Behaviour. In this podcast, they discuss, with LBS alumna Mollie Amkraut, how creativity can be built. The Senior Business Design Lead at IDEO shares her perspective on how she grows people’s creativity “muscle”. It turns out that a structured approach aimed at sharing, learning, open cultures can drive creative behaviours. It is hard work but anyone can become a better creative over time.
How do you create an agile, innovative and resilient organisation in which both your people and business can thrive? What is the role of talent and learning leaders in shaping organisations to facilitate effective and sustainable change? At the 2019 HR Strategy Forum we explored how you can harness curiosity, creativity, critical thinking and collaboration to open up dialogue, surface opportunities and play to your organisation’s strengths.
In this podcast, guest speaker Stephanie Houston, Director of Talent Acquisition for Europe, Israel and Australia at WeWork, explores these issues alongside Julian Birkinshaw, Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship and John Dore, Director of Custom Solutions at London Business School.

Investors are no exception. In this podcast, we’ll explore how bias affects the decisions of investors, and how we can use tools and strategies to turn this knowledge to our advantage.
