27. Innovation & Adaptive Design, with Dr. John Kenagy

Physician, healthcare executive, and author Dr. John Kenagy joins us on this week’s episode of “The Innovation Engine” podcast to discuss using Adaptive Design as a means to fuel innovation efforts. Adaptive Design is Dr. Kenagy’s method for business improvement that puts the power to make change in the hands of those closest to the customer. Adaptive Design was influenced by tenets of the Toyota Production System and Clayton Christensen’s teachings on disruptive innovation. On this episode of the podcast, we discuss how businesses of all stripes can use Adaptive Design to drive innovation, how a life-changing experience led to the formation of Adaptive Design, and the 5 characteristics of great adaptive leaders.
