About the session
We're launching new products. We've got a governance process. We're trying to disrupt ourselves. But how do we show ROI on innovation? Business plans are guesses, but the CEO isn't going to accept "I don't know" for an answer and the CFO is having a fit. We need to explain how our ideas can produce real returns.
This session is an interactive, live demo going from an idea to a financial or impact model. We'll calculate our odds of success and the probable outcome of the project. Then we'll compare two projects to make a pivot-or-persevere decision. Only then we can justify funding our project (and our innovation department).
