The 334 Cast is a podcast dedicated to bringing you the latest in business agility, innovation, and the future of work.

Our guest for this episode is Michael Graber. Michael is the founder and managing partner of the Southern Growth Studio, an author of two books and many articles on innovation, insights, strategy, and transformation, and a frequent speaker on these topics. When not working, Michael plays music and writes literature.

We talk about the role of culture in driving innovation and how business agility and innovation work together. Michael shares with us how he sees companies using innovation to adapt during an incredibly disruptive time disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing trend of conscientious capitalism. We then talk about the innovation boot camps Southern Growth Studios holds, the inspiration to start them, and how Southern Growth Studio uses public boot camps and design thinking to impact the local community positively. Finally, Michael shares details about a new product called Sprout, that aims to help you find and jump-start growth opportunities through rapid, qualitative research.
