In episode 3, Spark and Primus boldly venture where few managers dare: the land of real, unstoppable innovation. Joined by Stratego 9000 and the ever-curious Haiera from the legendary Haier ecosystem, they expose why old-school innovation funnels snuffed out bold ideas, and how antifragile organizations turn experimentation into a daily habit.

Discover how micro-enterprises break the mold, why nonstop customer feedback is the new superpower, and what happens when every team can launch the next big thing (or, occasionally, Beijing Roast Duck). With fresh examples, lively banter, and zero tolerance for bureaucratic boredom, this episode reveals how continuous learning and decentralized teams are making innovation weird, and wildly successful, again.


All voices and sound effects are generated with AI (ElevenLabs). The concept, cast and scripts are hand-crafted by Janka and Jörg, and then refined and quality checked with AI support (Chat GPT, Perplexity). All bot artwork generated by AI (ChatGPT) until the AI handler (Jörg) gave up and turned the results over to a human layouter (Janka).
