NTT i3's charter is to innovate and bring net new revenue streams to its parent, speak to customers directly to identify what to do next, and to leverage Silicon Valley’s start-up technologies and venture capitalists.
Ms. Simosko said that diversity (gender, age, experience, education, different personality types, etc.) is crucial for teams to harness the power of innovation. She believes companies need ambitious ideas, resilience, adaptability, flexibility—and a willingness to take risks. And that they must allow their people to be entrepreneurs within the organization.
How do you encourage Innovation? Create diversity. Value risk and take risk. Support ambition. Reward learning.
Nina Simosko, President & CEO of NTT Innovation Institute Inc. (NTT i3)
