In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, fostering a culture of innovation is essential for sustained success. Traditional “moonshot” initiatives, while ambitious, often carry significant risks and can disrupt daily operations.

This approach not only mitigates risks but also democratizes innovation, empowering employees to contribute to the organization’s growth and adaptability.
