Martin Reeves

Chairman at BCG Henderson Institute and Senior Partner and Managing Director at BCG

as recorded on 9 June 2021 as part of Innov8rs Connect Unconference

We need imagination now more than ever—to find opportunities in adversity, rethink our businesses, and discover new paths to growth. Yet too many companies in pursuing scale and profitability lose ability to imagine. What is this mysterious capacity? How does imagination work? And how can organizations keep it alive and harness it systematically?

In this session, Martin Reeves, the chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute and a coauthor of the The Imagination Machine (HBR press, June 2021) will share insights from his book on the role of imagination in business in the form of an open question and answer session.
