The Upside of Uncertainty with Nathan & Susannah Furr
What's Next! with Tiffani Bova
08/11/22 • 25 min
Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.
This week we journey into the unknown with innovation researcher Nathan Furr and entrepreneur Susannah Furr, who navigate us through the fear and stress of uncertainty to find the creative opportunity on the other side.
Nathan Furr is a professor of strategy and innovation at INSEAD in Paris and an expert in the fields of innovation and technology strategy. His bestselling books include The Innovator’s Method and Innovation Capital. Published regularly in Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, Forbes and Inc., he is an Innosight Fellow, has been nominated for the Thinkers50 Innovation Award, and works with leading companies including Google, Microsoft, Citi, ING, and Philips.
Susannah Harmon Furr is an entrepreneur, designer, art historian, and contrarian. Her clothing line was inspired by her research into the intricate embroidery Dutch women painstakingly rendered on their plain uniforms—details often invisible to all but the wearer—and its significance in their daily lives. She has also founded a design services firm. Nathan and Susannah are the parents of four teenagers.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... individuals who want to break away from the stresses of uncertainty to overcome their fears, adopt innovations, imagine the possibilities, set out on new adventures, and ultimately, embrace change.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... we are hard-wired to love the idea of control, but we have to accept that some things are outside of our control. For those who shy away from willingly bringing uncertainty into their lives, they recommend implementing “balancers” to create a sense of familiarity in your day to day life. The sense of security that comes from having a few routine choices - like standard lunches or outfits - can help keep us relatively stable when uncertainty creeps into our lives (or when we are ready to introduce it ourselves!).
WHAT I LOVE MOST... Nathan and Susannah have a starry-eyed optimism for the future, not because they know that everything is going to work out in the end, but because they know they will be able to handle it when something inevitably goes wrong. So they choose to imagine the best possible outcome for the future, while simultaneously creating a plan to manage their risk tolerance and address the worst case scenario.

The Fearless Organization with Amy Edmondson
What's Next! with Tiffani Bova
04/08/21 • 32 min
Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.
This week I am thrilled to welcome Amy Edmondson to the What’s Next! Podcast. Amy is an American scholar of leadership, teaming, and organizational learning who is currently the Novartis Professor of Leadership at the Harvard Business School. She has been recognized by the bi-annual Thinkers50 global ranking of management thinkers since 2011, and most recently was ranked #3 in 2019; she also received the organization’s Breakthrough Idea Award in 2019 and Talent Award in 2017. She studies teaming, psychological safety, and organizational learning, and her articles have been published in numerous academic and management outlets, including Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Harvard Business Review, and California Management Review. Her most recent book, The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological S afety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation and Growth, offers a practical guide for organizations serious about success in the modern economy and has been translated into 11 languages. I am beyond thrilled to be speaking with Amy Edmondson on the What ’s Next! Podcast!
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... leaders, team members, those afraid to use their voice, and those who are afraid of not having all the answers!
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... We live in a world where expertise is increasingly narrower and deeper than ever before, and Amy wants you to know that it is okay not to know ALL the answers. In fact, NOBODY knows all the answers! The world is changing so fast that even if you knew everything “today,” it’s a given you wouldn’t know everything that there was to know “tomorrow.” So, according to Amy, you might as well get comfortable with not knowing and learn to turn it into something positive as opposed to shameful. Being comfortable with not knowing and being open to constantly learning is more critical than ever before in a world that is suddenly, drastically different and requiring more flexibility than ever before. To that end, Amy is tackling what she calls “psychological safety.” It’s okay to speak up–it’s necessary–and it’s important to ask for help. There should be a conviction in you that it is okay to speak up and that your voice is welcome. It is incumbent upon great teams and great leaders to create an environment where it is safe, encouraged, and rewarded to take the risk and speak up–even when and especially when it isn’t “good news.” If you listen people will speak!
WHAT I LOVE MOST... There should be a conviction in you that it is okay to speak up and that your voice is welcome.

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova
02/08/24 • 29 min
Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.
This week, I’m joined by Scott Edinger.
Scott is a consultant for leading business growth and is trusted by clients in the Fortune 50 and across the globe. He has worked with CEOs and senior leaders to develop pragmatic strategies and execute approaches to drive top and bottom-line results. He's written three books. His latest, The Growth Leader, is out now and is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... anyone who wants to learn how to close the gap between the C-Suite and the sales team to create profitable growth.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... sales teams are often divorced from talks about strategy, yet the sales process is where strategy is executed. It’s where everything comes to life. In fact, interactions with salespeople drive 25-53% of decisions! In this episode, Scott discusses why it’s so critical to not treat sales as an afterthought and how to effectively include it in planning.
WHAT I LOVE MOST... it’s the responsibility of a leader to inspire every level of the organization, yes sales, but also product developers, marketers, finance, legal, and customer service teams, to understand the value they bring to the customer.

How To Be a Friction Fixer with Bob Sutton
What's Next! with Tiffani Bova
04/04/24 • 27 min
Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.
This week I have the honor and privilege of welcoming Bob Sutton to the show. We’ve been social media buddies for many, many years and I thought it was about time that Bob would join me on the podcast.
Bob is an organizational psychologist and professor of Management Science and Engineering at the Stanford Engineering School. He has written eight books, including his latest, The Friction Project, which is what we're going to talk about today. He also wrote other bestselling books, including The No Asshole Rule; Good Boss, Bad Boss, and Scaling Up Excellence.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... any leader or individual contributor who wants to become a friction fixer in their sphere of influence.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... there’s friction in every organization. Some friction is good and fosters creativity and innovation but bad friction can seriously impede progress. Often, areas of friction are unresolved for long periods of time and if they get attention, it’s often by addition, which just piles on layers of complexity. Bob strips things back and describes how anybody at any level can make a difference in reducing inefficiencies.
WHAT I LOVE MOST... Bob’s example of how the DMV has reduced friction through a single person, a greeter, who helps cut down the dreaded time that people spend waiting. As Bob says, “If the DMV can do it, so you can you!”.

RELOAD: Who's on Your Team with Adam Grant
What's Next! with Tiffani Bova
02/15/24 • 26 min
Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.
Adam Grant is a leading voice on organizational psychology and I know many of you resonate with his ideas, which is why I’m so eager to replay a conversation I had with Adam a while back.
Adam is an expert on finding motivation and meaning and living more generous and creative lives. He's been recognized as one of the world's 10 Most Influential Management Thinkers and Fortune's 40 under 40. He's the author of three New York Times bestsellers: Give and Take, Originals, and Option B. Adam now hosts WorkLife, a TED original podcast after his TED talk got over 12 million views.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... team members and team builders.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... Adam’s research shows that interpersonal interactions that a difference in our success. At various points in our day, humans operate in three realms:
- A giver, or people who ask what can I do for you?
- A taker, someone who asks what can you do for me?
- Matchers, who follow the law of reciprocity.
Yes, there are grey areas, but people usually fit in one of these categories.
One would think that placing a group of givers on a team would guarantee a culture of givers, but that’s not the case. Yet, when you have a team of takers, more harm is done than good. Adam believes it’s more important to screen out takers, leaving a good mix of givers and matchers.
Forming teams is more than finding similarities or matching “culture fit.” Forming teams is an important skill that finds differences and diversity of thought and identifies the holes in current teams.
WHAT I LOVE MOST... Adam’s work around being better teammates and better individuals in our home and work life is inspiring. He forces us to think if we are a giver, a taker, or a matcher. How are we adjusting each day to bring our best selves to our day? This is an important question to ponder and to try to implement in your life.

RELOAD: How Big Companies Can Act Small with Tendayi Viki
What's Next! with Tiffani Bova
11/16/23 • 34 min
Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.
This week on the What’s Next! Podcast, I’m bringing back a conversation with Tendayi Viki that I think is extremely valuable to re-listen to from time to time.
If you don’t know Tendayi, he’s an academic, the co-designer of Pearson's Product Lifecycle, which won the Best Innovation Program 2015 at the corporate Entrepreneur Awards in New York, and is on the shortlist for the Thinkers 50 Innovation Award. He’s also a contributing writer for Forbes and is the author of The Corporate Startup: How Established Companies Can Create Successful Innovation Ecosystems.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... bigger companies who want to act like a startup.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... to act small, companies must first think about their innovation ambition.
The first step is to create an innovation thesis and understand your minimum viable ecosystem – maybe that means conducting a small workshop instead of jumping straight into a 2-day event. Second, become clear about key trends. Ask, who do we want to innovate for? Then, run through problems and challenges that could make life easier for your customer. Throughout the process, always measure everything against this question: Is this aligned with our innovation thesis?
As Tendayi says, “Figure out whether or not you have the right solution and then figure out whether or not you have the right business model.”
WHAT I LOVE MOST... a reoccurring theme has swept over the podcast: embrace non-traditional diversity. Make sure the middle management, legal, and the MBAs are involved; build teams with diverse thinking styles; and get out of the ordinary environment to be creative.
Diverse teams create creative tension and avoid internal silos – all good things.

He then became a serial Internet entrepreneur and an active angel investor in New York startups. He's been a mentor to entrepreneurs and sits on the board of Harvard Business School's Alumni Angels of New York.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... anybody looking to gain some pearls of wisdom about entrepreneurship.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... entrepreneurship is a challenging journey and real experience from fellow founders is the most useful advice. Catalina and James interviewed eighteen HBS graduates and entrepreneurs who shared real-life experiences founding businesses. In this conversation, they share some of their findings - from the power of a great business model to strategies for scaling.
WHAT I LOVE MOST... using an ideation triangle to determine whether an idea is viable and assessing these criteria: size of the opportunity, relevant skills, and passion.

I have the pleasure of welcoming Mo Bunnell to the show today. He helps complex organizations grow by scaling business development skills and creating a growth-oriented culture. He's the founder of Bunnell Idea Group (BIG), which has trained tens of thousands of professionals at hundreds of organizations.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... in this day and age, business development isn’t about deals but relationships. Mo dives into this approach and explores how to build authentic, lasting relationships that add real value and, ultimately, drive growth.
Key Takeaways:
- Mo’s 3-step process to collaborate better and drive more revenue: fall in love with their problem, give them the experience of working with them, and make a recommendation.
- The skills you need to do the work after you get the “yes” are the opposite of the skills you need to get the “yes.”
- Those who identify where the decision makers see value and attach to it will find the magic.
- Relationship building takes time and effort. Mo recommends quarterly audits to strategically delegate or automate tasks to create more space for relationships.
WHAT I LOVE MOST... take a few minutes to make a list of the 10-15 relationships that are the most important to your future success. Mo says these are the relationships you should be focused on developing now.
