During Innov8rs Singapore a few weeks ago, one of the attendees – a VP Innovation for one of the largest banks in the world – compared his role of leading innovation with running a marathon of a 1000 sprints.
"You know you’re in for the long game, yet have to focus on getting all kinds of small wins every single day for the dozens of stakeholders you are dealing with."
When watching the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and hearing about the years of training that these athletes have to put in to play at their best, I thought of that statement again.
Leading innovation – running a marathon of a 1000 sprints - is not easy. You have to be on top of your game every single day to succeed in the long run.
To support you on that journey, this spring we are once again bringing together a curated group of corporate innovators from all over Europe, this time in the vibrant city of Madrid (15-18 May 2018). With so many passionate people in one place, for sure it will feel like the Olympics for corporate innovators you don't want to miss.
Today, we excited to announce the first batch of 14 world-class experts ready to inspire you, guide you and work with you during the summit, so that you go back to the office with new ideas to implement, and re-energized and ready for another year of sprints.
