From my experiences in the startup ecosystem, I’ve learned one crucial lesson: In a fast-paced, ever-changing environment, things will stall if roles and responsibilities aren’t clearly defined.
And this isn’t just true for startups—it applies to any collaboration with a partner organization. If responsibilities aren’t outlined from the start, uncertainty creeps in, slowing down processes and stifling innovative thinking.
For me, innovation isn’t just about coming up with new ideas. It’s about ensuring that teams work together seamlessly. Well-defined roles are the foundation of that seamless collaboration.
Through my work at ICARBON KIMYA ARGE VE MÜHENDİSLİK, as part of the Turkey Innovation Report 2024 Special Series, I’ve seen firsthand how this plays out. In my interview, I shared insights on how teams can work more efficiently, how clear roles lead to better innovation, and how to build a more resilient innovation culture.
💡 My core message is simple: Well-defined roles don’t just make the work easier—they also spark innovative thinking.
This clarity in roles and responsibilities lays the groundwork for healthy, sustainable collaborations—whether within startups or with external partners.
