Who says innovation is only for tech companies? Not Tadashi Yanai!
The CEO and founder of clothing company Uniqlo says innovation is absolutely key to the world’s fourth-largest clothing retailer. “We are not a fashion company,” he insists in a recent Fast Company profile by Jeff Chu. “We are a technology company.” Yana’s attitude is similar to many successful tech startups that have chosen to go big or go home when it comes to new ideas.
“The most serious flaw would be if someone doesn’t have the courage to try new things,” Yanai says of his employees. “At least if we fail, we will fail miserably. At least we can say we were bold.”
