Back to Basics
The Innovator's Handbook 2025 Launch Event
Now the dust of the innovation-labs-closing-spree is settling, and beyond the current hype of AI... what is truly, really, fundamentally our role as innovation function?
This is what we'll explore during The Innovator's Handbook 2025 Launch Event. Three panel conversations, each addressing one key question:
- What is the value we can and should provide to our organizations? Whether that's growth, transformation, change... What might be the best way to define innovation and sharpen our focus in the current context?
- What's the most effective way to deliver that value? Yes, AI can help optimize our processes... but those processes should be solid in the first place. Too many initiatives still don't make it big enough to matter. What might be the best way to structure and "do" innovation?
- How to measure and showcase the value we create? How come we're still struggling to get leadership buy-in and support from key functions, to do our work? We still have a long way to go to build confidence and credibility... How might we engage our stakeholders differently throughout the innovation process to show progress?
Join the conversation with your favourite thought leaders, members of Innov8rs Community and hundreds of other corporate innovators from around the world... to get in good shape for making 2025 your best year yet!
