Here's a great podcast with Ray Jakubowicz, R&D Program Director, Worldwide Systems R&D for Johnson & Johnson’s Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics. In this podcast, Ray talks about the role of sustainable innovation and how it’s viewed as a key competency for the future at J&J.
Ray also discusses the challenges of spreading innovation disciplines across independent operating companies in a larger organization, and the need to develop new long horizon metrics to measure corporate return on innovation.
It’s a good interview with a change agent in the trenches of innovation every day. Watch the podcast below and hear Ray’s take on the impact of sustainable innovation practices.
I was just working with Ray and his team last week. They've never taken their eye off the innovation ball.
OCD is a group of really talented people, pioneering some amazing technologies that have dramatic impact in the quality of people's lives. It's a genuine privilege to be able to help them in their innovation strategy and practice.

Hey, Jim. I couldn't agree more. This innovation forward approach is one of the reasons J&J is a shining example of what a world class organization can be.
They have put the effort and thought into creating an effective innovation environment, and they have invested in provisioning their talented workforce with technology that helps them reach further with each new innovation.
