Portuguese-language podcast (AEVO Boost Ep. 2) hosted by Luís Felipe Carvalho with guests Daniele Lopes (Innovation PMO, SLC Agrícola) and Alex Ribeiro (AEVO). The episode explains the Three Horizons framework and focuses on Horizon 1 (H1) — incremental innovation around a company’s core. Daniele describes how SLC Agrícola (45 years old; >4,000 employees) structured a recent innovation area and runs programs such as Ideias e Resultados (intra-entrepreneurship) and Agroex (startup connection) to capture employee ideas and run pilots. Examples include digital field notebooks, precision agriculture (saving inputs/time), cattle counting/weighing, carbon sequestration measurement, and worker safety/fatigue detection. Alex emphasizes the value of employee-sourced ideas for process innovation, the 70-20-10 budget rule (Google example) and the role of open innovation to accelerate H1 projects. SLC reports >60% pilot-to-scale conversion and an estimated R$25 million gain from agriculture-digital initiatives in the prior year. The episode closes with practical advice: align innovation to strategy, dedicate people to innovation, and engage employees.
