Lack of transparency around the entire innovation process from strategy through to delivery can often make it feel as though ideas disappear into a black hole once they have left the ideation/evaluation stage. Innovators need to be able to engage with the rest of the pipeline to ensure that their ideas aren’t being lost but instead are being morphed into a robust reality that bring benefit to the business. In this session, Ivan will discuss a well-integrated approach to end-to-end business transformation, combining the culture of innovation and project management teams to help prioritize the entire portfolio and empower leaders to confidently invest time, people and funds into projects that will provide value. During this session, expect to gain insights on: - How a single entity responsible for end-to-end business transformation creates widespread involvement in the innovation process. - How improved portfolio prioritization enhances your project delivery performance. - How to drive value from your innovation portfolio, with benefits centrally managed, monitored and understood during and after project execution.
