Episode 4 of Innovation Capital podcast: The rise of the R&D CEO, featuring Scott Amyx

In this episode of Innovation Capital

We look at the rise of the R&D-minded CEO, and leadership that is now taking more personal responsibility for directing and inspiring innovation as it becomes an ever more vital element of business survival and success.

Episode highlights
– R&D is no longer a line item within the organization, its a symbol of survival and growth.
– The road to becoming obsolete for organizations who are not innovating could be 3 years or less.
– Jack Dorsey, Elon Musk and Jensen Huang are examples of the R&D CEO.
– The CEO role has a statistically significant impact on the level of a company’s R&D investment.
– CEOs need to learn how to be storytellers of their technical solutions and they can only do that with an R&D orientation.
