Let’s have a look how we can move beyond today’s obstacles, and future-proof corporate innovation, and our organizations in general. The single biggest threat facing organizations today is their inability to innovate, experiment consistently and cost effectively. Ludwig will examine the 5 current challenges that plague corporate innovators and how to address them by leveraging AI, industry standard operating procedures and proven best practices.

105 years since it was originally founded, Whirlpool is operating in a new world where the next 10 years of profitable revenue growth are substantially more challenging. Phillip, Whirlpool’s Global Innovation Director, will share the ambitious initiative underway at Whirlpool to leverage the insights and expertise of the company’s 100,000 employees and its extensive network of suppliers and partners around the world to bring order to the data chaos by creating a new system of record for innovation for all of the company’s internal, crowdsourced and open innovation activities. The vision is to build a sustainable innovation management practice that delivers a sound innovation portfolio aligned with corporate strategy.
