Innovation leaders must commit resources before they have complete information — but that doesn’t mean betting on an entire project all at once. Learn how SmartOrg’s 6Vs framework for Incubation Management helps teams identify and prioritize critical learning, generate decision-relevant evidence, and make more confident Punt, Pivot, or Persevere decisions.
This engaging session will equip participants to:
- Distinguish Incubation from Discovery and Acceleration—and manage uncertain opportunities with a fit-for-purpose model;
- Direct resources toward the assumptions and experiments most worthy of the next investment; and
- Decide whether emerging evidence warrants increasing the bet, changing direction, or walking away.
