#81: Measuring Innovation in the Age of AI

from The Change Dude · host Saeed Rafay

In this episode of The Change Dude, we explore what it really means to measure innovation in the age of AI. As artificial intelligence accelerates experimentation and blurs the line between products, data, and models, traditional innovation metrics start to break down. This episode unpacks how leaders, teams, and organizations can move beyond vanity metrics and activity counts toward meaningful measures of learning, impact, trust, and risk. Drawing on real-world practices and globally recognized frameworks, we discuss how to balance speed with responsibility, how to measure innovation that is still intangible, and why governance has become a core part of innovation success. If you care about building innovation that actually delivers value, not just hype, this episode is for you.--- Powered by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OKOfy.com — Empowering SMEs across UK and Europe with Digital Transformation & AI⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- Disclaimer: The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any organizations or employers mentioned.
