Innovation management is changing rapidly. Are you ready?
In 2026, success in corporate innovation isn’t measured by how many cool ideas were generated or shiny pilots were launched— it’s about how innovation translates into tangible business outcomes.
Budget cuts, executive pressure, and the rise of AI have forced us to get brutally clear about what actually drives results. Today’s business context is asking us to change what we’re doing and how we’re doing that, in order to deliver impact.
That’s where we can help. More than 220+ innovation teams already use Innov8rs as a support resource to achieve their objectives, and now is a good time for you to start benefiting from that too.
Both online and in-person, you can leverage “the power of peers”, and tap into the expertise and experience of a curated group of fellow innovation leaders and do-ers in different ways, to get the clarity and confidence you need to succeed in the year ahead.
More info below. Check more info via the buttons per offer, and contact Hans Balmaekers via hans@innov8rs.co to ask any questions you may have, and explore how you and your team too will benefit too from becoming a member.
