About this episode

Kapil Kane, Director of Innovation at Intel China, joins me on today's episode of Innovation Storytellers to share his innovation journey working at Apple under Steve Jobs.

Despite leading product design for the iPod, MacBook, MacBook Air, iMac, and iPad, Kapil describes being allergic to the word “innovation”, and reveals that nobody ever said that word in all his years at Apple. Instead, they just did it - without giving what they were doing a label.

Kapil also shares how Intel China are transforming brilliant employees into internal startups. Inspired by startup accelerators outside Intel, Kapil reveals why they decided to follow a similar process with their internal innovation teams. The result is the award-winning corporate startup accelerator Growth X.
