Innovation is a critical competitive advantage in an increasingly competitive global economy. So, why is it so hard for organizations to build and adopt a culture of innovation and what are some of the best practices to build a sustainable innovation culture?

Sometimes having a superior product just isn’t enough. David and Beth Shaw, owners of The Northern Joinery, feel they’ve found their niche in their industry, being seen as creators of practical art, innovating design and making truly one-of-a-kind quality products.

This is the drive behind the next design, and the next great idea.

Quayle’s Brewery has been a four-year dream project for Catherine Pearson and her partner, Graydon Lau. Scheduled to open its doors in March to welcome customers into their craft brewery with multiple varieties of beer on tap, COVID-19 immediately required a change of plans. Tanks were full but there was no way to serve customers. As an experienced entrepreneur, Catherine was ready to pivot.
