Human Innovation

Human Innovation explores leadership at the intersection of decisions, responsibility, and scale.

Hosted by Jens Heitland, CEO of Heitland Media Group and former Global Head of Innovation at IKEA Centres, the show features long-form conversations with CEOs and senior leaders from international organizations.

Each episode focuses on how leaders think, decide, and navigate complexity, not just what they have built. The conversations move beyond surface-level success stories to examine judgment, trade-offs, and the human realities of leadership at scale.
