15 innovation tips big businesses can learn from small businesses

AtomicMind CEO Leelila Strogov talks about how big businesses can benefit from a "beginner's mind" in this Forbes expert panel.

Small businesses can be a great source of innovation for big businesses looking to stay competitive and relevant. By studying what small businesses do to achieve success and sharing knowledge and resources, big businesses can tap into new ideas, insights and approaches that can help them stay ahead of the curve.

As successful leaders in their fields, the members of Forbes Business Council understand that innovation requires a nimble, agile approach that small businesses often excel in executing.

"Small businesses often have the advantage of a "beginner's mind"—being untainted by the status quo and old ideas of how things should allegedly be done. Big businesses should routinely observe the ways in which small businesses have an advantage in a given industry to understand how the big business’ resources can be used to turn what looks like quirks into actual systems and processes."
