Wie schafft man es, Innovation nicht nur zu ermöglichen, sondern im Unternehmen zu verankern, quer durch Hierarchien, Abteilungen und Denkmuster? In dieser Episode spricht Constanze Osei, Director Corporate Innovation & DE&I bei Telefónica Deutschland, über ihren Weg von Meta zu einem der größten europäischen Telekommunikationsunternehmen und darüber, was es braucht, um aus einem etablierten Konzern eine Organisation zu machen, in der viele Menschen jeden Tag innovativ handeln können.
Sie erklärt, wie Innovation zur Fähigkeit wird: durch Routinen, Sprache, Diversität und Führung, nicht durch einzelne Initiativen. Und sie zeigt, warum die Vorstellungskraft der Mitarbeitenden oft der stärkste Hebel für Zukunftsfähigkeit ist. Ein Gespräch über die Balance zwischen Stabilität und Experiment, über Mut zum Unperfekten und darüber, wie man die Bedingungen schafft, damit Neues im Alltag entstehen kann.
