Innovation is at the top of many CEO's agendas. To increase the odds of success, leaders need to understand why they should collaborate with outsiders and how to do it effectively. There are two major benefits of engaging \"outsiders\": they challenge company-internal assumptions, and they bring a new body of knowledge to the party. The theory that external collaboration is linked to radical innovation is supported by recent research findings cited in the article. Innovation most often happens when some previously unconnected bodies of knowledge converge. So for companies that want to stretch the business boundaries and innovate around markets and business models, external collaboration with other firms and customers is critical. The author lays out practices that leaders can use to make collaboration work and pitfalls to avoid.

If the goal is innovation, then Bettina von Stamm is sure design is an essential component in realizing that goal. She celebrates the differences between designers and other functions and documents how their unique perspectives can improve business performance, help expand market share, and leverage bottom‐line results. She believes design must be an in‐house expertise and outlines strategies to integrate design and designers into the innovation effort.

Our planet and all who live on it face challenges like never before. COVID-19 , even more than the financial crisis in 2008/09 has made abundant clear that everyone and everything on this planet are invariably connected. If there is anyone left who denies that radical, even transformational solutions are required, it can only be because they are too scared to acknowledge that truth. In this paper evidence for the urgency to become more sustainable are presented, an argument that sustainability challenges are wicked problems is made, and some useful insights from the world of innovation are identified that will help create conditions in which disruptive sustainable innovation can thrive. However, creating these condition faces one major challenge: it requires a number of mindset shifts. If we do not achieve them it is not likely that we will be able to create and implement disruptive sustainable innovation at a pace fast enough to save our planet.
