Lasting Success is based on Innovation

Keeping traditions... Huntsman's technical campus in Shanghai celebrated again an Innovation Day last week. This is the third iteration since I met the local leadership team in 2015 and a great routine to keep.

In my recent experience, many companies and teams are pushing for daily delivery without pause and reflecting are we running in the right direction and are we using the right gear. And I am observing that only after a few months in this mode, teams are getting exhausted.

The Innovation Day in Shanghai is reversing this trend and the leadership team understands the wider purpose and benefits of such an event:

• encouraging collaboration across silos
• discovering creative and diverse ideas to address business challenges
• strengthening the understanding of creating customer value
• cultivating an innovation mindset
• create excitement, motivation and engagement

Thank you Enshan, Renyi and Stella to keep this tradition alive!
