You launched an innovation program. You implemented metered funding. Now what? You need to measure the impact. Metered funding and an accelerator program should move the needle, but don’t forget to install the needle in the first place. More importantly, an innovation program needs to be tailored to your organization’s unique challenges. An accelerator won’t fix everything, and a shark tank might cause more problems than it solves. This workshop will identify specific problems with your organization’s innovation ecosystem, what types of innovation programs can help, and how to measure their impact. We will also share the list of different approaches you can use in your company.
