Not only because what businesses charge is proprietary, but also because methods of pricing can vary quite a bit.

But if marketers avoid looking closely at their pricing, do they run the risk of losing money? What are the gains of pricing more strategically?<br /><br />Pricing really comes down to two things: 1) What’s your value to your clients, and 2) How do you communicate that value?

Because while it’s a popular buzzword, innovation as an enterprise-level priority really does make a difference in a company’s capacity to adapt, grow and thrive. That’s why Google does so much to foster creativity. It informs who they hire, how they acculturate employees, how they design workspaces, how employees collaborate, and so on.

We’re excited to have as our guest Frederik G. Pferdt, Google’s Chief Innovation Evangelist and Adjunct Professor at Stanford University. In this episode, Frederik helps us unpack the twin topics of innovation and creativity and shares approaches to sparking innovation at every level. To learn more about Google’s approach to fostering innovation, check out resources on the re:Work website at https://rework.withgoogle.com/subjects/innovation/.
