An Industry Insight Series Podcast brought to you by our Partners<\/p>\n

\u201cInnovation isn\u2019t about what we know; and defining it would be challenging everything we know,\u201d says Ben Williams.<\/h6>\n

\u201cOne thing I do believe is: to harvest a culture of innovation we need human engagement and we need collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams, who serves as the Ineos Grenadiers cycling team\u2019s Integrated Performance Lead and the Ineos Britannia sailing team\u2019s Head of Human Performance, is our very special guest on this Science in Sport Industry Insight Series podcast.<\/p>\n

He sat down with SiS Director of Performance Solutions, James Morton, to discuss his varied professional background and the approach to innovation he has cultivated in each of his roles in sport and beyond.<\/p>\n

Also on the conversational agenda were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The need to normalise \u2018silly\u2019 questions inside your organisation [12:30];<\/li>\n
  • Why the America\u2019s Cup could be sport\u2019s most unique performance challenge [15:00];<\/li>\n
  • His transition into cycling (combining his work in sailing) [19:00];<\/li>\n
  • Whether the next gains will be made in \u2018training science\u2019 or \u2018equipment science\u2019 [23:30].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
