  • This show gives everyone a realistic look at how innovation works (and that’s a good thing).

    People and companies are obsessed with innovation, but not many get further than overusing and misusing the word! The Economist does a really great job of illustrating what innovation actually looks like, how it’s actually achieved, with a number of truly innovative case studies from genuine breakthroughs that we would all have benefited from whether we knew it or not.
