A community of peers to learn from and collaborate with.
Leading innovation in large organizations can feel like being on an island… But you don’t need to go alone.
From implementing incremental improvements for existing products and services, to launching new business models and building disruptive ventures, corporate innovators are responsible for creating new value, resulting in top and/or bottom-line growth. That’s easier said than done. Innovation sounds sexy and glamorous, but as we all know- in reality, it isn’t.
Corporate innovators face many challenges. By becoming a member of Innov8rs Community, they now have access to different support formats to collaboratively solve those challenges.
We offer you the space to safely discuss crucial moves and critical decisions with others facing similar challenges and chasing similar goals. You’ll learn new methods, frameworks and tools, and benchmark your approach. As a community member, you can engage in different ways to tap into the experience and expertise of others.
"We had over 10 consultants sharing their advise, but none of that was helpful. In just one session we got exactly the input and feedback we needed to move forward with our project."
"Thank you! The feedback I got made me realize we were on the wrong course. This 1 hour discussion saved me months of wasted time (and a few hundred thousands in budget too!)"
Because of the support available, members have reported saving substantial money on consultancy fees, as they get the feedback and input they need from peers directly.
Some members saved considerable time learning from the mistakes other made that let them to stop or kill projects earlier. Also, because of the learnings and insights from the sessions and connections, the odds of success for their projects and programs have increased drastically.
You're in great company.

Your membership experience is personalized to you, providing you with targeted content, in-depth conversations and relevant connections.
Just like there is no silver bullet to corporate innovation, we believe offering “one size fits all” support would not be any helpful.
The membership offers dedicated support in three pillars, as outlined below.
1 – Work on your challenges
In your day to day, trying to reach your goals, many questions and challenges pop up. What to focus on, how to do this (better) (faster), and how are others approaching this issue?
✔️ Host a Challenge Call to benchmark your performance and compare your approach with selected peers invited because of their experience on the topic, sharing ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ with you only.
✔️ Have your “Personal Advisory Board” -a group of trusted peers in your Community Circles. Meet with other members a) in a similar role, b) in the same industry and c) working on the same topics, for monthly mastermind calls.
✔️ Get peer support and expert guidance in the “Deep Dives”, working groups with other members to address shared challenges.
We’ve seen these formats to be highly effective for our members. Because one insight, one a-ha moment can make all the difference.
"Innov8rs is the only place were corporate innovators and intrapreneurs get vulnerable and real about the challenges facing disruptors today and work together on creating breakthrough opportunities."
2 - Ongoing professional development
With so much change happening so fast, you have to keep innovating how you innovate.
✔️ Join quarterly topical workshops “Learning Labs” covering the best and latest in corporate innovation
✔️ Access on-demand 800+ hours of video content on our platform, like the Netflix of Corporate Innovation… like your MBA in Innovation Management
✔️ Work with K8, the AI-powered Innov8rs Companion
✔️ Master your craft through foundational learning modules and practical resources
"Wow, the content is so rich. This is like an MBA in innovation management!"

Open Innovation as a Testbed to Fuel AI Innovation
While MIT’s recent “95% failure” stat rings alarm bells, the truth is that pilots aren’t failing because AI is inherently flawed—they’re failing because workflows, incentives, and strategy are misaligned.
Join this session to discover how leading organizations use open innovation to rapidly test, de-risk, and scale AI solutions—tapping startups, academia, and cross-industry partners to turn uncertainty into competitive advantage.

Bringing innovators together since 2011.
When I was a corporate innovator myself, I had many moments I wished I could call other innovators to discuss how they were dealing with the many challenges they were facing, and to exchange what approach they were taking to get results. A place where “innovators” meet however, didn’t exist… so that’s what I set out to build after I left the corporate role. Bringing corporate innovators together to learn form each other, in order to be more effective in their roles.
Since 2011, we’ve hosted 35+ conferences in 35+ cities around the world, from Singapore to San Francisco and Sydney to Stockholm- most recently, in London, Amsterdam, Zurich, Austin, Lisbon, LA, Milan, Phoenix and Berlin. Our conferences have always been designed for diversity, action and collaboration, welcoming typically 200+ participants from across industries.
Since 2017, we’re also hosting online sessions our “glocal” tribe asked us if we could facilitate knowledge sharing and peer to peer interaction after our in-person conferences. Now, our main offer is the Innov8rs Community membership, your best support resource to learn new approaches, solve challenges and improve outcomes.
If you’re leading or doing innovation in large organizations, you’ll find great value in joining the community.
See you soon!
