In this episode of the Bright iDIAs Podcast, we are joined by Kaiser Yang, CEO and co-founder of Platypus Labs and keynote speaker of DIA's 2025 Annual General Meeting, to explore how organizations can foster a culture of innovation and creative problem-solving. Drawing from his experience scaling tech startups and working with Fortune 500 companies, Kaiser shares practical strategies for embedding innovation into everyday business operations. He challenges the myth that innovation is reserved for major breakthroughs, emphasizing instead the power of micro innovations—small, impactful changes that drive continuous improvement. Kaiser also introduces the concept of "judo flipping" assumptions to uncover fresh solutions, explains how organizations can break free from rigid ROI-driven thinking, and highlights why fear—of failure, judgment, or ownership—is often the biggest barrier to innovation. From AI and automation to the rise of hyper-personalization, Kaiser discusses the trends shaping the future of business and offers insights on how companies can stay ahead by embracing a mindset of experimentation and adaptability. Whether you're a dental entrepreneur, a corporate leader, or someone looking to think differently about problem-solving, this episode contains many valuable takeaways to help unlock innovation in your organization.
